IT"S BEEN TWO YEARS


r


My best friend, my wife Norma left me two years ago today. The photo  was taken during a fishing trip to Canada, in a pouring rain and she had just caught the fish we were going to have for lunch.

The reason I love this picture is because of the great look on her face, even in a heavy downpour.

During the past two years I've had to retire from my sales job at Hendrick Toyota because of my inability to walk or stand for long periods. I had help in getting cars but it was harder to do my job. I couldn't work the hours necessary to do the job. 

My Doctor suggested that I stop driving and since my lease was almost over, I turned in my great Avalon with only 20,000 miles, I loved that car.

I moved in to a new apartment at Mission Chateau that has everything necessary to keep me happy and fit. However, due to a change in Chemo I became so weak, I could not walk unassisted.

I spent 3 days in the hospital and now I'm in a rehab facility, Stratford Commons for another week or until they feel I can go back to living by myself, but I'm getting stronger every day.

Not having to go to work everyday is very hard to get used to after working steadily my entire life.

Not to bore you with my problems I'll finish this blog with a promise of many more in the future months.
