weekly update

Friday night, we celebrated Jesse's birthday who turned 28 which is hard to believe because her parents are so young. We had 13 people and two toddlers and went to Dicarlos Italian restaurant in Oak Creek. The food was great and plentiful and we had a good time figuring out the bill, because I was only taking care of my family,and Jesse invited some friends along which we had to divide out their portion and since the waitress did not want to separate it at the beginning, it became about a 45 minute procedure to figure out the bill. But I don't think anyone got hurt, mentally or financially.

Tonight we're going to Jesse's in-laws to celebrate her birthday there.

As usual, I will be heading to the office today with my major goal is a continuation of a line by line reconciliation over the last six months of all my business accounts. This is what happens when you're out of commission over a long period of time.

As far as my medical condition, I was evaluated yesterday by the therapists and there really hasn't been any progress so we are completely eliminating the OT and just doing one PT per week. The doctors feel that the swelling in my brain is pressing on the motor nerve paths which is preventing me from progressing. And until the swelling goes down and hopefully that will lead to improvement in nerve function, then we will continue. But for now, the only thing I can do is work on my strength and my balance which I will do on my own. I will be continuing the aqua therapy. So I'm kind of in limbo, but as usual that will not stop me. I am still upbeat, and positive, it is just a matter of learning to adapt to a different lifestyle but my long-term goal is still the same which is to get back to normal.

I had a few friends come over the other day to play some board games, which we would like to make A weekly event, so if there are any gamers out there who would be interested, let me know. With less doctor appointments and therapy sessions, I will be having more free time.
