@billchitwood Julie, it has been such a roller-coaster for you recently, hasn't it?

How good to hear that your daughter Robin can now also see what you have been noticing, and she can support you more in your quest to have your husband lead the best life he can for now. And it sounds like his life is changing rapidly, which can cause anger, sadness, and grief for everyone involved, as you are finding out.

What are you doing to keep yourself relaxed, and healthy? What has made you smile today?

Ginger, you just made me smile!

Robin had both feet operated on last Friday and has to stay off them for a week. So I am moving Bill's walker between the two of them. Yesterday she was bored so she knelt on the seat while I pushed her around and Bill cheered us on and took a picture. Fortunately his walker is really easy to move around.

Robin also ordered him some shower wipes that she had used for her husband Tom when he was afraid to shower any more. Bill was pleased with that and is looking forward to them. Since his two recent shower falls he is really leery of showering - and he has a problem getting to the bathroom in time. Finally has decided to utilize his depends. Thank heavens!
