An Update for all my BeeBee Friends

An Update for all my BeeBee Friends

For all the people who have been asking
asking how I am, here it is in a nutshell:
« I retired my wheelchair about five weeks
ago and have been walking freely for about
four weeks
« I pretty much don't use my walker, except
for trips where I know I'm gonna be on my
feet a lot.
* We sold the van and now have a nice
Toyota SUV. I ride in the front seat and tell
Heather how to drive.
+ I have been taking care of the pool,
(except for the chemicals), myself, and have
been doing 60 lengths a day since we
opened it {n June.
« I'm riding my bike at least 10 KM a day,
and have gotten back into doing the food
shopping again
+ I'm using the shower without a seat.
+ I'm doing three fewer drugs than | was
‘when I got home from the hospital

All in all, I'd say, except for building my
stamina and not being stupid enough to try
riding a two-wheeled bike, things are almost
as normal as they used to be

Of course, I had to work my ass off to
make it happen, but I was highly motivated

A Sure Sign Of Spring

Jim Murray · Went outside this morning to do my walking and noticed that this was on my mailbox. These birds must have worked all night on this. Hope they got paid overtime. We think they're Robins. I carefully moved the nest to another location.
