As many of you know my wife had a serious stroke on June 4th, the day before her birthday. Well she came home last Saturday and she can move her right leg a little bit. And there is still no movement in her right arm. She is going to therapy at the hospital and hopefully she will get most of her movement back. She still has her bad days, but not too often. It is really hard to see her like this and I struggle to take care of her. I didn't realize all of the things that I have to do until I have to do them. But after almost 34 years, you just do what you have to do and life goes on.

Her brother came up from Oregon and helped me build her wheelchair ramp. He was looking through Craig's list and found a brand new electric wheelchair for her. It was a $7400 wheelchair and it cost him $400. What a damn bargain and at the timing was perfect.

I guess the person that it was bought for originally passed away and never got to use it. It is strange how things work like that.

Here is a couple of pics of her in her new throne.

I really have to thank everybody for their support, it has helped me through a lot of tough times recently. I love you guys and XI is the greatest bunch of people that there ever was. Thank you all.June 30, 2011 003.JPGJune 30, 2011 001.JPG

Bushape I sure do hope that everything will turn out ok for you guys (at least now shes home), I cannot tell you I know how you feel because there is no way that would be true! But I sure do pray that all will be ok for you both, let me know if there is anything I can do for you, I'll do my best to make it happen.

Good news, Bush'!  Wishing you and the misses all the best for a continuing recovery.  Those chairs are great and provide an important degree of independence - what a superb deal!

A big THANK YOU to all of you. It is really nice to be friends with so many people. The support from all of you has been outstanding and it has helped me tremendously. I just can't say that enough. I don't know where you could find better people.

I think that she looks pretty damn good for 53. But most of us say that about their wives or husbands. She was pretty damn hot when she was 19. She doesn't wear make-up at all. We both grew up out in the country and we still live back in the trees, so she doesn't feel a need to put on make-up anyway, I love her just the way she is. At least it ain't like one of those ugly babies that you have to say look cute.

Thanks again, I will probably make another post in a couple of weeks.

You guys and XI are awesome.
