A Nigel update… Nigel has been using his cane more and more frequently. One day, I kinda put on my teacher pants and lectured him about getting up and moving more. He took my words to heart and has been walking more. But, my friends, I felt awful about it. I haven’t really put myself …
Yes, I’m at it again! I’ve joined another group. You may be familiar with many of the bloggers in this group. I don’t know Christie, but I hope to gain a new friend as this goes on. Now, as you know, I’m not one to set goals. I see them as setting myself up for …
A Nigel update… Life continues, you know. Nigel’s physical therapist is very happy with the results both of them are achieving. Nigel can now raise his right leg without using his hand. It’s sad to think how happy that makes him. I keep thinking back to last Christmas when he was still on two feet. …
While this isn’t the “Hey, guys, guess what? Nigel’s walking!” post I’d like to write, the good news is we met with the surgeon today. First off, Nigel had worn his Wabash College coat. Nigel went to Purdue; our oldest (and a whole lot of our money) went to Wabash College. But, so did Nigel’s …
Happy Thanksgiving from all of my people to all of your people! Today, as well as every other day, I am thankful for you!
A Nigel update… Things are moving along wonderfully right now. Of course, Nigel hasn’t had an appointment for a few weeks. His physical therapist upped his appointments to an hour. They are working hard on strengthening those glutes and the thigh muscles that had been taking it easy. His walk is much, much better. I’m …

Maybe he’s just thinking out loud, but he’s confused about the images he sees on the x-rays. He did say the fracture is healing, but where the …
Number #21 Ya know, I really thought October would be a month of wonderful things. Instead, it was a bit like what Jack does right after his dinner…one big hunk of steaming you know what. I mean, it was my birthday month, but nothing really special happened. I don’t know why I set myself up …
Number #20 I thought about making this 20 & 21, but I decided it’s really only #20. It’s been a long time since I last did one of these. Luckily, I can always look back at my old post to figure it all out again. Nigel continues to toggle between his walker and his wheelchair. …
