On the facts: Bill is trying out a forearm crutch to use instead of a quad cane. There are pluses and minuses, but overall it seems to help him walk more upright -- 'tho I'm not sure way, since the hand is at about the same height. Also, they had a great two-day trip to Central Oregon to visit a friend for July 4, and the Steely Dan concert there.
As far as emotions or memories, I decided to go back and look at some of my early posts. Oh my gosh, how did ya'll put up with my short, terse posts? It looks like I was just barfing up a few words. My struggle was with how long it took me to post from my phone, and where we could get internet connections.
My rule was to avoid making the posts about me. The reports were from my perspective, yes, but you did not need to hear I was devastated or angry or so f'n tired. Especially when I was so exhausted I might have spelled out f'n. Plus Ayn and I were working to have only positive vibes.
What are my emotions today?
