Today was an interesting day. Scott was able to change the battery on the truck and get it running so he decided why not drive? When we were in the hospital I had been told that his license was revoked and Dr. Newell would have to have change that. At the beginning of August, I asked about it and found out that this is not true. He never actually had a seizure so he is fine to drive when he felt ready (I forgot to report that with all the other we learned that day).
He felt ready today, so off we went over to Walmart and off to Cascade.
The volunteering at the Y mixed with working out is helping build stamina for getting back to work, but it is a long road ahead of him to get back to working full-time.
On to the humbling part. While visiting at Cascade, we found out that another auto body painter in the Valley had a brain aneurysm recently. The little they know is that he is not doing well at all. It was shocking to stand there and hear that someone so close to Scott's situation and younger had something so similar!
It's so easy to get wrapped up in the pile of To-Do's. To let negative thoughts take over. But we always seem to get the wake up call when we need it that life could be Much Worse!
I'm not sure how much I'll be posting in the next few days, because we have a fun weekend coming: Saturday I have a fitness training. Sunday we are all participating in a walk for PKD (for more info go to www.pkdcure.org/betsyfarmer ) Then on Monday is follow up appointment for the VP shunt.
