Jon Writes this Blog Entry

Hello all. Once again, I have to apologize for not posting sooner.

Jon has decided to write this one...
Barb's been busy but not as busy as I, who was caught speeding in the hallways. I was not given a ticket but was told that next time I "would lose my license"!. It was by one of the members of the "babe patrol" that works here. I have been basking in the sun enjoying the sunny days but not fond of the breezy, chilly days. I'm working hard in therapy, lifting weights, sitting up balancing myself.

Barb is getting so good at working with me that the aides consider her a fellow aide. They threatened "to fire her" when she's late or can't make it due to her other jobs.

Well enough for now. I've got to go. I'll let Barb throw in her two cents.

Love you all, Jon (written Sunday pm)

Mom is off enjoying time with her siblings on her brother's boat for 10 days. A well deserved rest, that happens to be over her birthday too (Aug 25). This weekend was full of visitors. On Friday, Greg came down for the weekend. Jon had been asking Angelique to print out the blog for him as we don't have internet there. She sent down a very nice binder with a table of contents and all the entries and comments from day one. It is 117 pages long!!! He started to read some of it but it is much longer than he anticipated. It was a bit overwhelming for him but he is very grateful for it. A friend of Jon and Greg's got married and the reception was Saturday. The Groom himself, Paul, and a friend came over before the reception and visited with Jon for a little while. Then Uncle Bill and Aunt Judy surprised us and stopped in. Uncle Bills' brother is in the hospital, please pray for him, and they decided to stop in to see Jon too! Aunt Judy just couldn't stop commenting on well Jon is doing and the improvement he has made since the last visit. Then cousin Dean stopped in on Sunday and spent a few hours with us.

Today, Monday, Jon started to read his visitors book from the first day of the accident. It has been awhile since he has looked at it from the beginning. He was amazed at the number of people that came to see him just in the first week! He will be doing a lot of reading between the blog and the visitors book.

Hope this finds everyone well. Blessings to all.

Barb
