On Tuesday, Bruce had an ultrasound, nothing alarming, they just want to check up on things, after Bruce finished the exam, on his bladder and kidneys, the nurse was wiping off the goo they use and Bruce said he was ticklish from her wiping. So Bruce pinched himself on the side and he felt that too. New sensations! Too bad St Patrick's day has passed...
Tuesday, Andrew and I have the flu, aches, nausea and intestinal difficulties. Ick, good thing Duncan is feeling better to care for Bruce.
In OT! they had Bruce take his over the head sweatshirt on and off three times and then they had him stand up and sit down in the standing table. They usually have him stand as long as he can, but they wanted to try something different. He said it wore him out.
Donna brought over some warm homemade French bread and tater salad.
On Wednesday Rosala and Debbie brought us dinner, corned beef and taters, a fruit salad and chocolate Carmel brownies.
I called in sick to excuse Andrew at the High School, Pam answered the phone and asked about Bruce. I told her of his progress and she said no wonder he is doing better, with 1000's of people praying for him, God has to hear. Made my heart happy. It is great to hear that other people pray. One doesn't normally talk about praying in everyday conversations.
Amy brought over a delicious barbecue chicken pizza with home made Oreos! We are in heaven. We love to be spoiled.
Bruce is working on upper body strength. He is able to do the slide transfers on a board with minimal help. That means we will soon be able to give up using the lift which takes a longer to transfer him from the bed to the chair to the toilet.
Friday dinner was an English delight! Our friend Liz brought us Bangers and Mash, and Bubbles and Squeak, with onion gravy and for dessert, Yorkshire Yum. Yeah I had to ask for a translation several times. What was this called again? Bangers and mash is small sausages and mashed potatoes very yummy and bangers and squeak is vegetables in mashed potatoes. The Yorkshire yum is cut up cake, with strawberries and whipped topping, and a dollop of meringue, healthy and yummy!
Saturday I had some retail therapy at Potters house purchasing wedding gifts. Lynette called and went for a bumpy drive with her up and own hills on a gravel road to a place I hadn't gone before. (me and Star Trek) it was very nice to get away and talk and listen. (yes, I occasionally listen)
Went to Kathy Biggs book signing. She has written three non fiction books. I have an idea in mind to write a book about ancestors during the Civil War, (three brothers joined on the same day, must have broken their mothers heart) would have to do more research.
Bruce sleeps a lot on the weekend. He needs to catch up and heal some more.

You still have the greatest sense of humor. I like seeing that. Do the research and write the book. It deserves telling.
