May 20, 2014


Today is a great day because the weather is delightfully cool with no humidity. 
I feel very good about the therapy today because it all worked out so beautifully.  I walked in the hallway and performed well.  Also I am ending a period of time of being dependent.

We learned today that my brother Paul is facing some possible health challenges which apparently are self inflicted.  We are shocked that Paul has taken this course of action. He has decided not to eat. I pray that he will decide against this course of action and is indeed dire.  He has a lot to live for and family and friends who depend on him.  He is a great person. This direction he has chosen to take is not  
like him.  I hope and pray that he will change his mind.  It is hard for me to believe.

I remember him saying several years ago that he would not be around in a few years and I could not figure it out.  Why is he contemplating this?  Less than a month ago I spoke with him and he seemed fine and everything was OK that is why I am so shocked. Maryann is going to Palm Springs to visit him in the hospital.  If anyone can change his mind it would be her.

Home from Hospital May 18, 2014

We left hospital shortly before lunch. On a outing that was approximately half day to spend at home.  It is very exciting to be home again.  I am in the hospital because of a stroke I had on May third.  It is good to see home much support and confidence has been placed on me.

My favorite therapist is Lauren who is teaching me how walk again using the wheel chair and walker.  This stroke caused me to be off balance.
