Today's Output

There have been more falls and the Mister is not injured badly. Yet! Good! We are just trying to keep him safe. I have never been at all interested in the medical field and this is actually a sharp learning curve. I'm trying to come to terms with change as there is no turning back. Nothing compares to the feeling of being self sufficient and I seem to have turned a corner on that. Thank goodness for caring neighbors and friends.

  1. After my heart attack, I've learned so much...reading & nurses/doctor advice. I continue to hold interest.

    Do they know what's causing his falls / leg weakness?

    1. No particular reason yet. He is diabetic and scuffles as he walks anyway. Leg muscles not there much.

  2. Thinking of you and Ed and hoping he doesn't get badly hurt on his falls.
