GREAT NEWS!!!!
We took Dad to the VA today, He was evaluated for a new chair... the one he has is a standard manual wheelchair, no adjustments straight back and VERY uncomfortable. In a week or two they will be delivering a fantastic new power chair, it has an adjustable seat that is the same style as a captains chairs in a van with a tilt back, more cushion and a left hand joystick control, he was test driving one today, he actually did quite well and was grinning like a kid at Christmas. He wanted to take that one home, but it was a sample only. When they deliver the chair they will discuss the platform lift and arrangements for my van. Needless to say Dad is tickled to death and quite excited about this latest step, he says it will help him to be up more and increase his independence.
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes... please keep them flowing....
Love to All;

Hello All,
It is so super to hear all the great progress that Clyde is making. I remember hearing the OH MAN, us girls use to tess him to say OH WOMEN, lol.
Sure do miss not seeing all you guys. I think of all of you when I pass by the street.
I'm doing great, work is better now that State has been there. I'm in the baking mode, fall and Christmas are my favorite times to bake.
Will stop in soon.
Sincerely,
Kathy
