Making Progress Re: The Shower

 Gerry, my maintenance guy, was here this morning and took the final measurements for installing my new shower.  I am getting rid of the bathtub and just going to have a shower.  It has gotten to be too much for me to step over the side of the tub, and since I never take a bath, only a shower, I thought it was time to do this.  He will be doing the install either late next week or the beginning of the following week.  Yea!

It took me a little longer to get my morning chores finished, but that’s okay.  I also updated Kevin’s blog.  I had taken pictures this weekend of the work he has been doing in the woods.  He is making such great progress.

Kevin and Renea are going to put a travel trailer back at the edge of the woods for her mom and dad.  They will be moving here in January, and this is where they wanted the trailer.  They have a beautiful spot.  The septic tank has been installed.  Now it’s water and electric. 

I didn’t do my physical therapy today because I was having a bad day.  Just did some easy chores.  I also watched DWTS.  Wasn’t surprised who was cut.  Will be interesting to see who wins.  I am not going to say who I am rooting for because I don’t want to jinx that person J  Then it was off to bed.

I am feeling somewhat better today.  Finished my morning chores.  Cleaned off a shelf in the bathroom for Jana to put her things when she arrives.  I don’t think Gerry will get to the shower until after Jana gets here.  That’s okay.  We will manage.  I also brought in the crate for Mattie from the shed.  I need to clean it out.  Hopefully, Penny and Mattie will get along and we won’t have to crate them.  Thought we should be prepared just in case.

I went out back and took some more pictures of the work that was accomplished on Sunday.  Bruce and Nicholas came early to help Kevin.  Then Ryan and his friend Steve came and also helped.  They accomplished a lot.  The “trash” pile and “burn” pile has both grown considerably.  Not sure when the dumpster will arrive, but it will fill up quickly.  If we ever get rain we will have a fire. 

I have uploaded the pictures.  I did my physical therapy.  I ate my supper. Walked up and got my mail.  And now I am finished for the day.  Back at ya tomorrow. 

It’s tomorrow!  How about that.  I spent the morning with the physical therapist.  Renea went with me so she could drive me home.  I have a new p/t.  I really like her.  She did a very in-depth review/evaluation.  She informed me that she would like to start seeing me twice a week instead of once.  Her name is Elizabeth.  Elizabeth informed me that I would never be 100% but I would be better than I am now.  She went over the home exercises with me, and said I should continue with them.  Elizabeth also said I should add back in the exercises Ashton had given me to do (four of them).  She also added four new ones.  One of the goals is for me not to have to rest after finishing these exercises.  There are several exercises I cannot do that she had me try.  They all have me closing my eyes to do them.  We shall see how things go.

I have completed most of my morning chores.
