hi

Hi all,

Some have been wondering how Sherman is doing so here goes. He thinks he can do everything he could do a year ago. Yes, it was almost a year ago that he had his stroke (May 30). He scared the daylights out of me today, he wanted to go outside and go on the patio so I took him there. I came back in and was still in the den, thank goodness, when I heard a crash. You got it, he had fallen out of his wheel chair onto the patio. He didn't hurt himself but my adrenalin spiked big time. Our next door neighbors son was home from college and I called him, he came over and lifted Sherman back in his chair. I don't know what I would have done had he not been home. The good Lord watches over fools and children. Not to sure which we are. The only evidence he had was a bruise under his right eye and a slight scrape on his left knee. Maybe now he won't take it upon his self to fill the sprinkler can with rain water and try to water his garden. I told him he was the rocket scientist he should have been able to figure out that wasn't going to work.

He still doesn't have his electric scooter yet and now I am not sure he needs one. Thank goodness I didn't pick the first one they told me to look at. It had 4 oversized tires, 4 wheel drive, two power sources and went 10 mph. I never would have found him.

Other than that all is as well as could be expected. He wants to go somewhere everyday. I don't. He thinks up reasons to go places. Diary Queen for a Blizzard, Wal-Mart for bananas, etc.

Please continue to pray for us. We can use all of the prayers you send up.

Thanks,
We love you,
Dolores
