Twenty weeks! Almost 5 months! Wow, I don't think I'll do that anymore, it just boggles my mind to think that much time has gone by since Glenn has been away from home.
I've been busy, but had to start doing some things in preparation for Glenn to be able to come home. On the 2nd of July, my family and some neighbours came and constructed the deck and ramp on the front of my house. It will make it possible for Glenn to come into the house in a wheel chair without the strain of being hoisted by whom ever is around. It looks good, and I bought composite decking, which means it will be maintenance free (somewhat anyway) I really didn't think they would get the ramp done too, but many hands, and a lot of experience made it come together very quickly. It needs a few finishing touches, such as a railing, before Glenn can use it, but the big job is done.
I also took Glenn out of the hospital to a wedding in our neighbourhood on the weekend. It was a little nerve racking to transfer him, but with some good instruction from his OT, we were able to do it fairly well. He got a sunburn, so now has a farmer tan just like always. We will hopefully be able to be at the Anniversary celebrations for a while in July. It is encouraging, and makes home seem closer to reality.
I've been to work a few days, and now need to catch up on some farm books. I took my car in for a check-up, and they let me drive a new Corolla around. It was red! I really liked it! I can't buy it, but had fun anyway!
My Dad had growth in his lip removed, and the biopsy said it was cancerous, so he will be watching that for a while. It has healed up very well, although he says they must have taken quite a big chunk out of his lip. They stitched it up, and he won't have much of a scar. He'll look great in the pictures we are planning to take.
I'm fairly tired tonight, so please excuse my rambling and skipping around from subject to subject. I just type whatever is popping into my head, but I think the last bubble just broke, so I'll sign off.
'Til next time,
Louise
