New cable company-Oh No!
Going to blog tonight. Tomorrow we switch to a new cable network and I can only guess the mess I will be in-LOL. So if I am MIA, you all know the reason.
I switched to a bundle package when Bruce first stroked. We had been considering it as we still had two phone lines, two computers on the extra phone line, I needed to simplify. Initial contract was $60.00 a month for computer, phone and TV-basic cable. Three years later it is $190.00/month. Ridiculous! plus we lost channels-lol.
Bruce continues to do well with the long leg brace. It is sad to see how the past year of inactivity took its toll on him. He was walking the entire street, twice daily with supervision only. He is now up to about 175 ft and is totally exhausted. He is optimistic. Says to me, "we will get there!" It is funny to see him walk back to me from therapy. I have been asked not to accompany him to therapy-new PT. Mary Beth and I were laughing this week when I explained it to her. His hair is straight out of his head, his eyes bugging out. It looks like she took him ten rounds and he lost-lol! But he likes her and is still willing to go, so can't be too horrible. He is so relieved to see me, but I have to bite my lips to keep from laughing.
Snow predicted for the weekend, again. So we will be out and about again on Friday and Saturday. Even tho last weekend's' snow was only a dusting, by prepping during the week I was able to spend some quality with the new Stephen King on Sunday and that was a treat.
I have seven friends from grammar school that I am close to. Our 60th birthday celebration is scheduled for Sunday and I have friends willing to come and stay with Bruce so I can go. So of course the weather is an issue. Monday we have eye doctors appointments. Not so much concern for Bruce, but since my glasses and backup glasses are destroyed, I am two prescriptions back and really need this. Not so much the appointment, but the new glasses-lol!
We are working on cleaning out and reorganizing. I think the stereo may be able to go. We will get one of those nice, small units. Ours is so 70s-huge, dust collecting and mostly we use my Ipod and a portable disc player. The vinyl albums will have to be catalogued-good job for Bruce, because they are worth money. And I am collecting his tools and getting them organized as Carl tells us they may also be worth selling.
So life moves forward. Recovery taking its own road. And hopefully I will be up and running without a glitch tomorrow. Debbie
