Debbie, You are blessed to have such good neighbors. Sticking to a routine is very helpful for some stroked survivors, I have the same problem with Carl. So, what I started doing is talk about the change that we are going to have the next day. It usually works, Carl doesn't get upset and the rest of the day runs smooth. remembertolaugh,Jeannie :cocktail:

Since it's almost July, six months of the yea is gone. I thought I would work on posting my pictures. Yes, the pictures are worth a thousand words. You'll understand what's been keeping me busy. It sure has not been playing on the computer. Of course it takes two of us. Back in February I had to do all the cleaning up of the beds. Carl was having trouble with his lower back and hip. Until one day when at the Y I stopped in the common area and picked up a Senior News Paper. I seldom pick up a Senior News Paper, usually just a Creative Loafing. In this paper was a add for pain management for back with decompression. The other was for knees which I spoke of in a earlier blog. I finished my series of Hyalgan shots. I'm still doing electrical impulses electrodes to the body and reach the nerves which are causing the pain. Doc adjusted my back and knee's and gave me a shot in the hip for my sciatic nerve had was giving me pain when I would lift my leg to get into the SUV. Carl is still going for the decompression machine. After two appointments he was able to help me with the gardening outside. We go twice a week for therapy at this pain doc. I'm happy to report that Carl and I are living with allot less pain these days and haven't taken a pain pill for a few months. Thank God. I've been squeezing in my Y time, getting 36 laps of swimming in 3 times a week. I do have more pictures to post to this album so check back periodically. I have to fill out disability papers for Carl. Medicaid won't pay his hospital bill from his stroke until he is declared disabled. We have an appointment with SS the 5th of July, so I have to submit before had his papers. Until now did I remember it's almost the 5th of July. WOW! I'm so forgetful, when I put things aside and say to myself I'll get to it later I seem to forget all about. Well, I have one thing I my side for filling out disability papers is I've had my practice at it. At least I won't forget to make copies of all papers submitted to SS. They are prone to loose them. remembertolaugh, Jeannie :cocktail:
