Bob Update 9/21/2025

 

The past 4 days have been like hanging by a thread over a tornado below me. 

No Bob's fall 5 days ago did not do permanent injury

His back still hurts, he has been flat of his back in bed for days, and had to be forced to move, by caregiver and PT, OT, RN etc. the worst part is his dementia escalated and this means I de-escalated, mine went with his.

I know what you are thinking. Then how did you do this post. Its because Sunday we have no visitors, and I have been awake since 1 am listening to him talk out of his head, sitting on sofa where he can SEE me, because he panics if I am out of sight.

Things are NOT Good, I am Not Good, he is Not Good. Beau is not Good.

Each day Beau and I have our Alone Time on our daily walk.

God's blessings were with us as we walked in Cool Temps, 74 blessed degrees with a heavy breeze from our beaches.

 and at our feet we found the Eastern Lubber Grasshopper that research showed us a large, up to 4 inches and this one was that long, that is a flightless, munching  pest to all plants and is also toxic. The thing is just seeing her was a treat, so brightly colored. And as we round the corner into our yard coming home, God's Gift was  there to walk through.

I could not get a photo, with Beau on leash and cars both directions, we could only view the sight of the giant orange sun, sitting directly in the middle of our street on the horizon, as it spilled golden flood of light down the entire street in front of us. I took Beau inside and came back up but nothing left for my phone to take.

I took and old photo of our yard and added the sea of gold that we saw.

Thank  you Lord for the safe and beautiful walk and for my brain to work long enough to do this post. We are not back yet, soon I hope. We visit the Orthapedic Doctor tomorrow for the final check up of his fractured ankle and hope and pray there is no fracture from the fall that we don't know about.
