I haven’t updated my journal in forever.  Most of my updates for Scott are given through emails.  So, my blog has suffered.  I don’t want to give up blogging though.  Writing down my thoughts and feelings has become more important than ever.  However, some of them I really didn’t want to broadcast to the world.  

 

But Scott continues to improve, just not fast enough for any of us.  But this brain injury thing takes time.  He was given an “on track” at the doctor’s office at the last visit.  He still has significant problems with his memory and problem solving skills, but the doc says these typically improve last.  

 

We are able to do more, but Scott gets tired very easily.  And he still gets pretty grumpy and acts childish when he is overwhelmed.  But it is getting better.  Everything is gradually getting better.

 

So, I am taking life in 6 month blocks right now.  We have an apartment near my parents and I drive us into therapy/work every morning.  It is a 40 mile drive, but we need to be near someone that can help now.  At the end of our lease (6 months), I will re-evaluate.

 

I sure miss the beautiful house that we both built together.  But it is just not practical for us to be there right now.  It is too secluded and the traffic  to get to work/therapy is much worse from there than the the apartment near my parents.  

 

Anyway...I don’t know if anyone read this blog anymore or not.  But I have begun to entertain the notion of knitting again.  Does anyone know of some fancy type tops that I could knit?  Not that I get out much or anything....but someday.   Scott and I have been talking about renewing our vows eventually.   I don’t imagine it will be for awhile, but I’d like to try a few patterns.  Maybe I will make something to wear for the event.  And even if we don’t, the thought of it might be therapeutic for me.
