I will be heading over to spend most of the day with Lisa. It's only two blocks away now, but I still want and need to be with her. Yesterday was a better day for her as her acute sense of humor became more evident. We talked all day long and then, after I left to come home and care for the dogs, we... Sign in to see full entry.

I spent most of the day visiting my wife. I took some of her favorite articles of clothing for her. A nurse who happened to be in the room when I arrived asked me if I brought her in some 'sleep-wear,' which sent Lisa into a bit of a giggling spell. When the nurse asked what was funny about the...

Just a warning. Lisa has her cell phone back, and she has learned to use the 'speak & type' interface on it. She said that she might 'drop in' later this afternoon or evening. She is doing much better, but that is in comparison to where she had fallen. She has a long trip back to full recovery. Both... Sign in to see full entry.

I have spent several hours with my wife in her hospital room. Lisa seems to be quite upbeat and was smiling and giggling with me. That is a massively huge change in things and I am very thankful. I don't know what lays ahead in the next few days other than some physical therapy for her hand and one... Sign in to see full entry.
The ambulance just brought my wife back to the local hospital. This will make my life infinitely easier, and maybe I will actually have time to spend more time with her and not feel like I am a zombie. Thanks for your support. With Lisa, Verwayne Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I am exhausted. It appears that either tomorrow or Wednesday, Lisa will be transfered back to the hospital here in Newberry for some physical and speech therapy. That is some very good news for these tired ears to hear. It will take some time, but I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you
Good morning. There is 'talk' that Lisa may be brought back to our local hospital for continued physical therapy soon. Her last MRI showed the brain was healing as expected, with no signs of bleeding or swelling. I was told that barring a violent jarring, everything should be 'back to normal within...

Update September 9th
I'm tired. I'm Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" tired, but I'm happy as I can be. I spent the day with my wife, hugging her, kissing her, and talking with her. She still has a decent slur in her words, but there is time for that to go away. I had to help her stretch out her legs and her arms, but... Sign in to see full entry.

A Better Update
Once again, I am very tired, but very happy. I've spent most of the day in Marquette with Lisa. They are keeping her 'calmed down,' but we developed a method to communicate. Once again, I am well aware that we have a long path to walk, but I will do what has to be done to make this happen. I may be... Sign in to see full entry.

Re: Sassy and Another Update
I'm making this a separate post because I just got another call. Lisa has arrived back in the hospital in the UP. The neuro nurse that I have gotten to know and trust tells me that Lisa appears to be much improved since last she saw her. They asked me to wait to come visit again until tomorrow. The...
