catch up

It has been a very long time since my last blog. It has been to tough for me to blog with the laptop and my eyes ave changed. A week ago I bought some close up vision glasses and now I am seeing better without any glasses close up and am back to my old trifocals for computer work. I think it has to do with my diabetes but who knows.

I have my new wheelchair, a Permobill C-300 and it is great. I am using it everywhere and am sitting comfortably now in it. I have been having occasional trouble with balance lately and sometimes tthe room kinda spins and I think I will lose control. I am watching close for these symptoms and being more careful. I lose my breath more now and am stressed to walk any distances. My answer is to stay in my chair more. My right arm is worse but still able to type with difficulty. I am needing to use my neck brace more now. For the most part the ALS is not progressing much lately.

Last night the temp was below freezing and our heater went out the repairman replaced a sending unit for $200. today the water heater pilot was out. The fun never stops. This past weekend the boys went to a birthday party and we all went to church. Saturday we had a garage sale and we got rid of a lot of stuff for a very little amount of cash. Nan and Lee were also down for the weekend. Progress is being made. Christmas is coming and I for one am not ready for it.

My Bears clenched their division but are still plagued with a poor quarterback. I am ready for them to make a change.

Jennnika and Russ have leased a house around the corner that is a carbon copy of our house with the exact same floor plan. They take possesion on Dec 15 and are now into the packing part. I feel her pain.

Some day maybe we will all be settled, at least one can hope.
