Getting His Life Back, A Little at a Time...We'll Take It!

I sure do like opening the blog and seeing those happy faces of Kathy and Dave! Perhaps, that's the reason why I haven't written in two weeks. I am working on bringing that photo to a more permanent place on the blog, so that we can all see it as soon as we log on.
Well, my friends, it has been nearly a year since Dave was diagnosed and last year at this time he was pretty miserable, as I recall. I remember Moe coming home from work almost every day and telling me how awful Dave was feeling. Debilitating back pain, and working all the while, thinking that it was nothing. He has been through more in one year than most of us in a lifetime. When I spoke with him the other day he gave me the 'run down' of his daily activities, and it is mounds better than the daily activity schedule that he has been keeping in recent months. He has been working out, adding a little something more to his routine when he feels that he can handle it, (anyone out there think that he wouldn't get back to that?!); he has been driving himself all over, he actually popped in on the guys at the job one day last week. They were all very excited, as was Dave. He has been tooling around in his garage, putzing with this and that. Even the snow blower, I believe. And, of course, he is still cleaning and cooking! He seems to know when he has overdone it, but not until the next day when he wakes up and can hardly move. For the most part, his life is getting a little bit more normal. He held down the fort while Kathy was away helping to take care of her Mom, who is not out of the woods yet. I haven't heard much, but I will keep you in the know as soon as I hear. I know that she is home from the hospital, recuperating. Thanks once again for pulling those 'crazy New England vibes' together for a lady that deserves it. She was a huge part of Dave's recovery, and as I said before, Kathy's sanity.

There's never a good enough reason to stop thinking Happy Thoughts!
