Good evening friends.
Its been busy around here. Sensing that I was a bit down - the nurses decided to move me to a room with a view. Instead of an office building I now have a view of the campus and real people, trees, and traffic. It really did make a difference as I now feel more connected to the world.
The Dr. still seems pleased with the progress of my wound but isn't talking about time frame much. Tomorrow he is going to put me back on the vacuum thing and hopes that this will be the start of the end. I hope so also.
I am trying to walk more these days but after 5 weeks flat on my back and not walking - it is a bit of work to make that happen. When I stand I have flashes back to nights at the Badlands in San Francisco, knowing I had to find my car or at least the street it was parked on - yikes. But the aid is actually making it part of my daily schedule so it will get better soon.
I had the chance to celebrate Halloween with JC and Mary. I even have some pictures to share here but the ones JC sent me seem to be to big to make the upload - anyone know how I can make them smaller so it will work?
Currently there is a lovely view of Texas Tech at night with lots of twinkling lights and some students walking slowly on the well lit campus sidewalks. It seems like so long since I walked anywhere but I know that it wont be long - all I need to do is keep working and moving forward.
Hope to share the pics soon - be well and much love.

Hey Chuck, Glad to hear they changed your room. Having a view to the world I am sure helps.
The main thing, it sounds, is this wound. Get that healed (even with that vacuum thing), and you are good to go.
Also, glad to hear you are up and moving! Take it slow and steady man.
As far as your pictures, the way I do it is with my photo software that came with my printer. I am able to open the photo with this software (in the photo editor) and I am able to resize the photos. Thats how I do it, but maybe someone knows a better way.
Happy you had friends around for a couple of days.

So glad you are nearing the end of this trial. Also glad you got a room with a view. Please try to keep your spirits up you will be home in no time! I can just imagine how difficult it is to walk right now you have been weakened by your stay in bed so just take it slow and walk behind a wheelchair to steady yourself. We are rooting for you and can't wait for the going home blog entry.
Hey Chuckito!
Glad to see you haven't been whining too much LOL
If one wanted to send some fun stuff your way via snail-mail, where would one send it? I found the perfect "something" for you.
Can't wait to hear that you're heading home.
Love, Lee Ann
