Standing in the Pool

    Bruce has been complaining he can't hear. We took him to the Dr. and she saw wax in his ear so we are giving him drops and hopefully that will dissolve the lump. She tried rinsing it in the office and the wax was too hard. 
   The Dr has increased his dosage for spasms. I was having to get up in the night and move his legs for him to stop the spasms or retrieve his leg as it had flopped off the bed. 
   Met the urologist this week too. Bruce said his children used to go to Central school. The Dr. suggested we need an ultra sound for his bladder and kidneys to make sure everything is working so that will happen next week.

   Terri came by and took final measurements for the cupboards. I signed a contract and they are ordered. They will be here May 4th. Will purchase a frig and microwave this week. The boys helped me move the frig to the new spot and we still go to the old place when we need something out of the frig. Old habits die hard. Tra last. I do love spending Bruce's moo la. (money) 
   Bruce had two bad days this week, he gets really tired and just wants to sleep. He drags by the afternoon. We rested this weekend by watching general conference on TV.  I only fell asleep once. Bruce feel asleep twice. 
  Our dear friend Lynette brought over some warm lasagna and a braided french bread. Yeah. Andrew picked out the olives, otherwise it was delicious and we love the smell and taste of fresh baked bread. 
   Bruce's monthly evaluation was this week. His legs haven't improved but his left hand is stronger and he is able to sit forward and is more stable in his torso. As long as he is improving we will be able to continue therapy. 
  I finished sewing two small lap size quilt tops. Our church is making them for the graduating Srs. They just need to be tied. 
      Pool time today Bruce stood up by himself with straight legs and hips. Yeah!! He did it three times for a total of 8 min.
