Still on the green side; turned 89. I know it has been over a month since I have posted on this site. Here is the latest of my situation. I am still in a par wheelchair, have a hospital bed in my home, and a shower buddy in my shower, still dependent on one of my daughters and my wife or care. I have weakened to a point where scratching myself anywhere from nose to toes is almost impossible because of the loss of muscles in my arms and hands and legs. Mentally I am very alert and spend most of my days in front of a computer reading articles researching cures for all my ailments, and being fed by my wife or my daughter. I do get discouraged often but not to the extent of being depressed. The positive attitude around me, family and friends, keep me on the bright side of expectations, knowing my situation will not get any better than it is presently. My communication skills are adequate and typing is accomplished by using a speech to text application on my computer and a mouse in the right indexing here to navigate on the computer. I think my biggest challenge is how to be a patient having patience.
