AN UPDATE FROM VAL

.

     Here it is, the end of October, and i should send a update for what is going on in the world as i now see it, eh?

     I still go to physical and occupational therapy 2 times a week, speech therapy once in two weeks. Still kinda tingley on left side in spots,. but still can't complain too much. Speech is improving, at least most people don't wrinkle up and say, 'what?"' a whole lot when I talk. Still, the speech does get 'jerky or choppy by the end of the day, and the left side of my face does droop, Like Sierra says,"Dad, your tired your face is drooping." All i can do is smile and drool out the corner of my mouth, LOL.

     People are really great. On the 30th of October, they are having a benefit to help us out: a spaghetti supper (free will) and silent auction type of thing are the main attractions. Teneil tells that folks have given a wooden file cabinet, a picture frame from a furniture company, gift certificates, Webber barbeque grill, hair cuts, meals, blankets, quilts (Darcy says she has 2, Vicky Wendland has 1--don't miss out on these!) and more.

     Folks have been lifesavers by helping out with money for bills and such.  Also, folks are outstanding when a person needs help. but everyday I think i see more improvement, and maybe by the time that benefit gets here, I will be doing so well, it will be a bust, eh? i can hope for that, eh?

     Well, here is hoping everyone is doing better than I am.

Thank-You to Everyone!

Val

P.S. Sierra helped me with this, but we are going to use spell check also! LOL
