Well now it's been a long while since I put out any news- things have been a little hectic around here. My Mom, Nellie Grey, has been in and out of the hospital with a bad valve in her heart; surgery, discharge, re-hospitalization........more than I can or want to remember. She's had a rough day today but again is on the mend. She has her own blog, www.nelliegrey.blogspot.com , which has much more detail. Mom calls it her "blob" and is quite proud of it!
Back to my wife- she is heading back to work tomorrow and looking forward to the challenges. This past weekend we took off for the UP and spent some time counting the steps down to the beach- long walks in one direction or another, then counting the 38 steps back up to the cottage.
It was a great weekend spending time in our special spot and enjoying the progress Connie has made. Last May we were there and Connie struggled to go for walks, couldn't go very far, and slept most the rest of the day afterwards. Not the same this time- we walked once Friday night, once Saturday (it rained in the PM) and again on Sunday. Though she might have got in a nap on the ride home it was very brief if at all!
Connie's walking is getting much better as is her mental clarity. Both seem to be slowest symptoms to respond and it can be hard to see the progress unless it's been a few days since you have seen her. Overall it's been very rewarding summer seeing Connie getting her health back and progress as much as she has.
