On Tuesday I arrived to visit with my wife at around 1 pm. She had a OT session coming, but had already missed her morning PT workout due to a sick stomache. She had been awake for quite a while during the night beginning at 2am. Many toilet visits later, she still didn’t fell well [...]
My Memorial Weekend visit with Kat began Sunday evening at around 7:30pm. I hadn’t seen her since Friday. She tells me (with tears most times) that she finds it hard to go days without seeing me. I have difficulty with it as well. We are thankful for our many phone calls. On Saturday the boys [...]
People have told me they thought my writing was prolific. You’ll think twice after reading this … here it is from the pen of Kathleen M. Tremblay:
“Once upon a time there was a kingdom ruled by Sir Grandpa and Lady Grandma. The whole family lived in the castle happily together - Sir Timothy, Sir Peter. [...]
Kat stood up out of the chair
To practice balancing they have her put full weight on her left leg and lift her good leg up
Kathy is arm wrestling with her therapist
She wins the wrestle match
And now it’s time to quit for the day and hit the sack!
Most of my Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday was spent at HealthSouth, the new current home for my wife, Kathy. I spent about 7 hours in Concord today (Tuesday) and over 3 hours yesterday bringing along Grandson, Brent. I would have stayed longer but told a co-worker I would fill in for him on my day [...]
Saturday was a rigid day for Kat in PT & OT. I saw her schedule last night and it was unbelievably intense. Today”s schedule (Sunday) is similiar, especially in the morning. She has 1 full hour of PT followed by another hour of OT. It begins at 8:30 am (the time she usually has breakfast).
She [...]
After work I headed to Concord to visit my dearest once again. It was a long tiring day but the yearning in my heart to see my best friend caused me to forge ahead! I knew Bev was taking Brent down for a visit so I called her cell phone just to make sure I [...]
I rushed down to Concord right after work (7:45pm) and of course arrived after visiting hours. Fortunately Bill and Bev were there to let me in the side door. I spent nearly an hour with Kat. Her smile is so much more open. I find, too, that her tears flow easy as well. She misses [...]
Monday and Tuesday were days of more intense PT and OT. Of course more visitors stopped by as well. So Kathy’s days are full and active.
As I write, I am listening online to Z88 (the station my sister listens to in Orlando) and they are playing MercyMe’s song “Homesick”. Their intent of writing ‘Homesick’ was [...]
Every day Kat has had a number of visitors come. Family, friends, young and old have graced her room and sometimes have had to go to the large sitting room due to the small space in her bedroom.
On Mother’s Day (beside Mike, Tim, Pete and Brent), Kathy’s older sister Barb, her two sons, Jim and [...]
