a reset

Several years after my stroke I aspired for independent living.  Now that I have it I can safely say it’s worth it but not all its cracked up to be.  Bob does not come home every weekend due to work demands but when he does I refer to him as “reset Bob”. This weekend in less than24 hours he:

·        Reset the TV (it wasn’t working before he came)

·        Fixed things around the house so it will show better such as burning brush down by the driveway; he also removed a lot of clutter

·        Reset my eating and sleeping habits (I don’t do either well when he is away)

·        Took care of my Mexican food fix

·        Made sure my trike is  maintained

·        Found a King snake and made sure it will not get in my way

·        Recalibrated my speech I have to give on Tuesday to UT Speech and Hearing grad students

·        Overall, it is just more fun with Bob around

In my last blog, I suggested if you don’t have form of exercise, you should get one.  Today I recommend if you don’t have a “Bob/partner, you should get one.one could argue that if I was truly independent, why do I need “resetting” and my answer is:  “I just do.”
