I am sorry for the lack of updates. Having THREE jobs has finally caught up with me, I guess. (Lois, NewsTrax and Copper Wire) There has not been too much that is new. Mostly just day to day stuff that is not very exciting.
Lois is doing good. We started Bio Feed Back a few weeks ago and she really thinks that it is helping. We leave at 3:30 PM every Wednesday and not back until 6 PM. The rush hour traffic is bad but it gives us good time in the car to talk and laugh. We hope to be able to stop for sushi or dinner some nights.
The battle over the power chair/scooter is ongoing and brutal. The paper work and follow-up it incredible and now the health insurance says they don’t think she should have one. It is just incredible. We are continuing to push.
She is thinking of getting a dog (AGAIN) so we are looking at the places that train dogs for the disabled. She wants a therapy dog or the like but big enough to be a guard dog also.
We are working hard on trying to get her to be up during the day instead up during the middle of the night. She is fighting us on this but we may be winning. We have had a number of issues with aides. Why is it that WOMEN cannot work together without the “Catty” factor? Michelle was living at the house but that did not work out for her—she wont tell up why. So she has moved out and is back to a 40 hr week. I suspect is it all about money. She thought that she would make the same per hour for all the hours that she worked and Lois wanted to pay her $200 a month. We settled at $200 per week but still not enough for Michelle I guess. So we are back to trying to find ways to save money.
