Closing in on the final stretch

We're heading for the finish line of October 16. That's the day I'm scheduled for discharge.
It looks like all of the house changes that will be needed are falling into place. This is a result of a lot of hard work by a lot of people and I don't know where to begin to thank everyone who helped make this happen.
It also looks like the issues that Connor was facing are working out in a positive way. This was obviously a very stressful situation for Robin and Connor in the middle of everything else that is going on.
As for me, yesterday we submitted the specifications for my electric wheelchair. It will be will over the next month or so and I will be picking it up and having it fitted to me at that time. In the meantime I will be going home with the prototype that I have been using here in the hospital. I've been here since July 1 and I'm finding it hard to believe that I will actually be coming home in less than two weeks. I look forward to be able to thank all the people face-to-face who worked so hard at home to make it possible for me to come home.

We're getting close to coming home

It's been a very busy week on a number of fronts. Here at Harborview I have been testing different wheelchairs, each with its own peculiar ways of working. So I have to learn a different set of controls for each-to say the least, it's been challenging if not interesting. On the homefront, Robin and all the others involved in the construction activities have been very busy. We've picked rug, room colors, linoleum samples and stuff like that. We've also begun to schedule work where special contractors are needed-like in the new bathroom, where tile and things like that are involved. There's also been work parties-in fact, the fence is now done. What an accomplishment! Once again, Robin and I can't begin to express our gratitude to those involved. A simple thank you can never go far enough. Bless all of you for your generosity and support. October 16 is coming fast. That's the day I'm scheduled to come home. It is hard to believe-I've been in the hospital since July 1, so you can understand this just seems unbelievable to me. It will be so good to be back home. To everyone who has helped make this possible, know how happy you are making me. Thank you so much.
