Hello dear friends. Today of course America remembers Pearl Harbor. As we sat on interminable wait-hold in the surgeon’s waiting room today we played 20 questions (or so it seems to Chuck.. Carol on one side, me on the other asking questions…). me: "What happened today in history?" Chuck: "Pearl Harbor" me: "and when was that?" Chuck: "December 7, 1941." When the neurologist asked the date, Chuck fumbled. (psst… famous day in history). We were "out on the town" visiting doctors from 9:30 to 2:30. Yes a brain gets tired, and if an injured brain gets tired, it gets jumbled. And so that is what we are dealing with. Of course many of us don’t know what day it is until we look at the paper. I keep the calendar on prominent display so we can check the day and date because doctors seem to think it’s important. Chuck got all the other questions right and he absolutely stood up and strode to the door and back when the neurologist told him to. Both doctors say Chuck’s rapid healing is remarkable. We have an EEG on Monday and if it is good (all the other EEGs have been clear) we can stop one of the seizure medications. The other has to be with us a little longer until we are sure there are no more seizures. Carol takes blood pressure and it’s that of a young athlete. Tomorrow is PT at 9 and hope a 1 1/2 mile walk after. Dave walks with Chuck upon request! Most days he and Chuck go at 9am. It’s cold here!!!! We were freezing today in the doctor’s buildings and offices. Something about "you could hang meat in here." We have on our flannel jammies and are watching on demand movies. Then it will be off to bed to remember God’s wonderful angels that he sends, and to thank God for the blessings he sends. "Only Goodness and Mercy will pursue me all the days of my life." Thank God! Love Susie
