July 5 - 12

Day 514-521
As requested, this week was much more uneventful. Glenn's bruises have faded, and he is greatly scolded by every one about his adventure. He wasn't being reckless, he miscalculated the stability of the mower. Thank goodness he didn't get more seriously hurt. He has cut more grass in the bin yard since then, and did fine. I need a fair bit of courage to have him do these things, but of course he needs to, and is perfectly capable of making those decisions.
We need to work out more, he is showing signs of stiffening up a bit, although some of that was from the accident. The botox in his hand seems to be working, his fingers are more loose. The OT was pleased with how he could open his hand and stretch out his arm, so that is good. He was standing at the sink the other day, and was doing some exercises when he called me. He could touch his right hand to his chin, something that he couldn't do before, so there is still progress. I'm thinking of getting a walker for him, he could start to move around the house a bit, although I will probably have to hide it when I'm gone! I think if he starts to do that, he will get stronger faster. I will have a professional helping with this, I'm not making any rash decisions!
Jackie and I went shopping for wedding stuff yesterday, and she got a bit more excited about it. It became more than just a day in the future. We bought some decorations, and actually found some nice invitation kits. She is thinking about how this will work and seems a bit fixated on the guest favours. Funny how some things bug you more than others. She is pleased with her work so far, and so is the dentist she is working for. We are looking forward to a family wedding in a few weeks, she will be looking at how things are done a bit more closely!
That about covers it for this week. Our nerves have settled, and we are coasting a bit right now. We're working on a power point, and are crafting a few gifts, so I've enjoyed this week. My garden is coming along, and we are beating the weeds back pretty well. Jackie has been out to help with it a few times, and is looking forward to fresh potatoes!
'Til next time,
Louise
