Dad 255: Enjoying Progress

(It's nice to finally have the windows open! Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)
 
Derf Here! Enjoying another summer day in the Northeast. Yesterday Portland hit 91°. Last summer did not see one day in the 90s. They tied the record for the date (2010). I'm not ready for temperatures this high this early. But what can I do? I guess accept it.
 
Spouse's therapist just arrived. One of two that will be here today. And she is early. This is a first. Usually late. While this goes on I'll finish my blog.
 
Yesterday Spouse walked all over the outside. Up and down the ramp. Up and down both sets of steps on Lew's deck.
 
Our nights are not "sleepy-throughs". Spouse is up several times a night. So that means I am up most of the night also. Tired – yes! But really enjoying the progress Spouse is making.
 
One setback. We had tried an electronic stimulator to help her left hand. It was approved by our primary care physician but the government's Medicare office denied the device. Another example of the government "knowing" more than the doctors. Not a surprise, is it?
 
Kim has been gone a week now and is missed. We're managing fine and have had no falls in the meantime.
 
Our Memorial Day weekend yard sale went well with friends Dick and Carole. It was a success for all! Glad it's over. We now wait until next year.
 
Josh has become the regular third baseman for the varsity baseball team. Team loses very-low-run ballgames. Hope they improve their run production.
 
Zack's lacrosse team is winning. Quite a change from last year. A fine season so far!
 
That about catches us up on all our activities. I'm sure I have forgotten some things. Check next week! Thanks!
 
Sooo.....
 
Until next time!
 
Toodle Pip!
 
Derf!
