Physio this morning. Lawyer appointment this afternoon. Looks like another trip to Toronto in May for more assessments. All for the insurance. Hopefully by the end of 2018 everything will be settled.

Sure hope so Brian.
I'm about to think about planning dinner.
Burgers or pizza.
That's the extent of my daily contribution to this new found role of domestic diva.

I'm in Pigeon Forge TN for spring break with some of our kids and grandkids. 72 Monday, 60 yesterday. Temps dropped last night and it started snowing. Still snowing. We are in a cabin on a mountain so we be staying in the cabin today. No complaints. Tomorrow will be mid 50's. We'll be back in action.

Welp first off Ty never made it home until 6am.
Then he was right back out the door at 9.
Don't know how he does it.
All the Mountain Dew and energy drinks he consumes helps, but I've told him those aren't good for him. :hammer:
There was a semi-rollover in Paulding county, then some goon got stopped for wreckless op w/o a driver's license, so he had to tow for an
impound.
It's always something.

Got a good night's sleep after making sure the babes were gently helped with homeopathic remedies.
That No More Monsters product is a godsend lol

Yup, got some snow.
Not as bad as it could have been.

They probably want to track your progression and make sure you're reaching your goal for hopefully one day complete mobility.
Do they ever come to your house and watch how you are with ADL's?

Yes. I've had someone here to do an assessment then someone else to back up the first assessment. Consensus is that I'll need a new house that's easier to navigate.

Additionally I'm in a battle with my insurance company about coverage. Not sure about the states but up here most providers give 50k for rehabilitative devices unless the injuries are deemed "catastrophic". Then it bumps up to a million. To be deemed catastrophic the person needs to have lost 55% or more of their abilities. Right now I'm at 51% but they neglected a few things when doing their report. What's that mean for me? Well for starters the insurance would have to buy a house that's suitable for a walker/wheelchair and fits everyone in our family.

Grouted a floor at the 'flip' house we are remodeling and waited for an appliance delivery. Appliances arrived. On time. So that was good.

Drove to the hardware store. On the way there I ran over a screw, punctured a tire. Also got delayed by 3, yes 3 trains. The hardware store is only about 4 miles away. 4 miles ... 3 trains ... 1 punctured tire. Yup, wasted a lot of time today doing nothing productive.

Also looked at another possible 'flip' house to potentially purchase.

This afternoon I patched a tire.

Never thought I'd say it but I hope you lose 4% more of your ability so you qualify for the greater coverage.

Son got home early tonight and was starving, so I made baked ziti pasta w/ meatballs instead of burgers.

I'm lazing like a beached whale across my bed now with a still full tummy. :yum:

Might watch a movie later on YouTube.

First day in almost a month with no medical appointments. So I plan on spending some time in the garage seeing what I can build with scrap pieces of lumber left over from the bunk bed project. I want to try building an umbrella stand to hold my canes beside my chair in the living room.

Sounds like a good project. I might as well just lay my cane on the floor. If I prop it up somewhere the dogs find it and rub against it until it falls! :hammer:

Been up and at it since 6:45.
Zipped around getting things done then took a walk and met a mink along the way.
A dead one lol
Right in the drainage ditch at the end of the West driveway.
I think I'll go get birdseed and suet cakes today to encourage the birds to come closer.
The cardinals and jays are out in force in the pines.

Lol. I know the feeling. I actually lucked out. I was about to head to the store to get some wood to build a stand when I saw this for sale. Works great

The train ALWAYS wins. :(
Not always. My dad was coming down a bush logging road down a hill towards a track. It was icy and he basically slid to a stop right on the tracks before being tboned and pushed 100 ft down the track. He lived to tell about it.
