Getting better every day

First, a big virtual hug sent out to my pal Suzanne on her birthday. I don't know what you're up to today, Suz, but I hope it involves some giggling and good girlness.

For those of you that don't know her, Suzanne is a true blue New Yorker and we became great friends while working at Philips Design in Atlanta. She helped me set up this site so I wanted to give her a little special attention today.

Proof positive
People ask me, "how are you doing?" The only answer is, "getting a little bit better every day."

Take typing for instance - two weeks ago I could type a few readable paragraphs but it was slow going, I made a lot of mistakes, it really tired my body and mind and I couldn't keep the weight of my hand up off the keyboard. I noticed this morning that I can easily keep up the weight up and there is much less "shaky hand" when typing. I can keep my fingers on JKL; and hit the shift key with my pinkie more easily. I still make mistakes but much less. I'll be back to dictating meetings before you know it.

Tasty weekend
The weekend was great. I think we're getting a bit more used to the situation on the home front now. I've attached some pictures of me prepping and cooking French toast over the weekend. That's me cooking over the stove and breaking eggs using the table that comes with my chair.

Additionally, are some photos of waffle making activity from last Friday here at the facility. I'm helped mix the batter and then enjoyed the waffle with fresh whipped cream.

As you can see, cooking will be a large part of my rehab post Blixembosch.





More breakfast goodies
Nico did a good job picking out a couple of cereals for my breakfast here: Sugar Smacks and Corn Flakes. Yes, the Dutch have Kellogg's cereal available to them - lucky me!

Thanks for the continued cards, letters and goodies by mail. So many visitors by post! See you in the mail and comment boxes.
