More on Georgia
I’m making an effort to work with Georgia every day.  We don’t necessarily hit each command we’re striving to master. Although Georgia appears to be recognizing her name better, I’m still not seeing the recognition I was expecting – turning her head, perking her ears.  Perhaps this will come with time, although I guess it doesn’t matter as long as she’s following her commands. We’ve mastered ’sit’ from everyone who asks her.  Somewhere she’s learned ’stay’ as long as you point at

If only I had thought of that!
The ceiling fan in our bedroom broke not too long ago. This was frustrating on several levels.  One being that the ceiling fan was fairly new.  Secondly, the fan is remote controlled.

Tom had to go back to Best Buy today to return a purchase that didn’t wor

Uh… poop.
I’ve been thinking about how to describe SCI difficulties with bowels without becoming too graphic.  Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a way.  I personally don’t have a problem with being graphic to explain these details.  Yet, I feel that Tom would… and, truly, I wouldn’t blame him at the least. That being said, I don’t believe I’ll go into the ’step by step’ regarding bowel issues with a SCI.  I’ll just say that there is a routine involving a suppository that must be kep
