The Sun Will Come Out . . .

. . . tomorrow. Although it's pretty bright today; crisp and clear.

The neighbor just came over and put a hand held shower head into Jim's bathroom. The neighbor also said he could install whatever handicap rails we might need, even over the 54 year old tile that is in the bathrooms.

Getting real close to having everything ready for Jim's homecoming.

I still need to see the home health care orders the facility DR writes. I need them to include aide help so that someone else can struggle him up the steps to the shower the first few times. Want to be able to kitty snuggle nap at those times as Deb suggests, although I'm sure the first time I'll be on pins and needles, fearful the aid will drop my precious Jim package.

About all I need to complete the picture is a husband with a positive attitude. He MUST keep up with his PT, and he's been very bad about that in the past.

Jim and I are going to practice single rail stairs at PT today. I have rails on only one side of one step of the stairs in my house.

I have moved next Thursday's reevaluation for radiation therapy back ~ 5 days so that Jim is closer to self sufficiency before I leave him in the house alone for the several hours that appointment takes. I still have a surgeon follow-up next Thursday, but that should only keep me out of the house for 2.5 hours, not the 6 hours the 2 appointments on the same day would have required.

Thank you all for all you do for us!!
