I know I'm a couple hours early, but that's okay. I'm killing time until the microwave goes off anyway.
We got rain last night ahead of tomorrow's cold front. Hopefully the last one for the year and season, but time will tell....

Don't get me wrong. I lve my husband, George, very much. But, today is one of those days where his inability to communicate makes things challenging. It's not his fault. The stroke took a lot. He's found his joy in music, but he...

...It's early enough I thought I'd post one last discussion.
I've been spending a lot of time with my husband, George, recently. Not that either of us are complaining. We've spent a little more than we should on cds, but it...

George has moved the walker around a little, but has been walking unaided as well. The stoma site is starting to look a lot better, too. Although, it still leaks from time to time if his clothing is to tight or something. But, he...

George has been asking for different things, but hasn't been able to finish them. But, he keeps asking. He's actually atempting a second nutrion shake and he finished one this morning. So, at least I know he's been getting one...

As some of you know, George suffered a stroke a little over a year ago. He's been trying to rrecover and get back on his feet ever since. And, today was one of his better days where he decided to push himself.
As a wife, I nag...

I just got the clean sheets on the bed. I change them out every time. Its tiring, but I wanted to make sure I had fresh sheets on the bed for later. George is watching T.J. Hooker, which gave me time to do the job. Keep him busy,...

I almost missed giving my husband his morning meds because he randomlly decided to go outside this morning. It would've been fine if he wanted to go out a couple hours ago, but he picked the time he's supposed to get his meds. So...

Okay so it's after one in the morning. George has had his final tube feed for the night. He asked for cookies and milk today, and got up several times and used the restroom. Well, so most still went in his pants, but he has been...

Well I say again, because I'm popping online before I get going for the day. Giving George that extra few minutes. He does deserve that much. After all , life can be rough. I don't fault him for that.
I have noticed in recent...

Well, just barely. Over the past few days, I've been staying in bed a little longer and giving George some time to himself on the couch. Allowing him to wake up slowly. It's been a bit of a struggle getting the routine back to...

George's progress has been a slow road. In the last month I've seen the most marked improvment. He's started to brush his teeth, he's occassionally getting his night shirt on before he goes to bed. Without a fight, and a few hours...

Well, George surprises me a little bit everyday. For the longest time, any form of personal hygien has been an exercises in patience. In the time we've been home from the hospital, he's only showered once. We've been home six...

Good morning.
Got a bit of a late start this morning. However, I'm here. George is doing alright. Although he's a little tired. Not really unusal, he's no spring chicken and he's still healing from his stroke. He is outside and...
