Watching grass grow

Moo!

Yesterday was a good day. I left my daughter with a feeling of turning a new page. Hanging around all day at a physical rehabilitation center can be interesting as well as heart wrenching. I am learning about so many disabilities people face and how it’s like watching grass grow one improvement at a time. I met a young woman in the library where I had gone for a little break who had a brain injury. She was a long distance cyclist who had been hit by a car then thrown into another car. She used a walker and told me how she had been in the facility for three months and now she is an outpatient. She explained to me about her brain injuries and how sounds affect her in a negative way. Cerebral auditory processing tests help the doctors find ways to help the brain process sounds better since the brain isn't processing sounds normally.The young woman was so inspiring!
  The good part yesterday was my daughter wanted to go to the gift shop. So its only a hallway away so since I was there I followed her in the walker and she shopped  for baby and I had to laugh that’s a good sign. I was so very proud of Megan yesterday she climbed to the top of the stairway with a help of a cane. Every day you have to improve in physical therapy and insurance companies.The top of the  stairs were the goal of this weeks physical therapy.Those steps were like walking a mile to her! I was always proud of my daughters education and how hard she worked but this was so much sweeter.
Last night was Jacks turn spending the night with Megan so chicken me was alone with Maulie and Morris. I am not sure what was going outside in the yard but I kept hearing things falling over. There must have been an animal of some kind in the yard but I wasn’t going to investigate. Well as I sit here drinking my one cup of coffee I look out my window and think boy I need to find my clippers and cut back my roses. I should have cut them back in January. Hugs and keep us in your prayers my blogger friends. This week the grass was growing better then last week, Cheri
