Man! Have I been busy. This lady from disability service, who is supposed to help me succeed at school was setting me up to fail until I decided to do it myself. Loooong story short. She ignored my email telling her the format of books I needed to go with my program. Awesome. http://www.kurzweiledu.com/ So she set me back a while until I received what I needed...I want to be n Bloomington...s0 many more resources.
I went to the cubs game Tuesday...They won! That was awesome and not to mention the seats...25 rows directly in back of home plate. Could not ask for much more...right? Well,we got t0 Wrigley around 8 and we left @ 5..lol...we were re routed 3 times from water. All in all it was a great time. I went up with 2 great friends. Corey, James and we met my friend Mary who lives in the city. She actually was my speech therapist at one time. Cool we keep in contact.
When we got to the game this man who could not have been much older than 35 was sitting in his powerchair with his wife feeding him and he had a ventilator. He had to have been paralyzed from the neck down. It made me think that his condition was easily a possibility for me because of the location of my tumor. I am truly lucky.I don't have words for it. This poor guy is at the level of a 2 yr old and I have been down lately about my situation. Whenever I feel down I think of this dude lately and man do I have it good compared to him.
At therapy this week(Thurs) I had my first improvement that I have noticed in a while!!! I did a few laps in the pool (walking) and the therapist did not have to touch me at all. That can be compared with last week where the therapist had to help 5 times over the same distance...I still didn't know it would take this long,but I really like the big improvements!!!!!
Friday night my cousin Mike came down from Illinois. We ate some dinner and hung out...I would have to say this weekend w0uld be the most excitement I have seen in a long time!
