Day 158 - You Do Look Like Him

I picked up Jan, to take her to physical therapy, on Wednesday afternoon. I was in her car and she attempted to drive to the PT office from her work. It is any easy drive without much traffic. She did OK but driving stretches her neck more than she would otherwise. She stresses over backing up and tries to find a spot where she can pull through.

When we arrived, she went on in but I had to make a conference call. I sat in the car for about 45 minutes to conduct business. Afterward, I went into the office to check on her progress. She was still getting the electro treatment on her shoulders and neck.

When she was done with that and the young lady was putting ice on her shoulder, she looked at me and said, "You really do look like Jeff Foxworthy."

Her father is the physical therapy business and he told her a few weeks ago that I was Jeff Foxworthy. She did a double-take but didn't believe it, thankfully.

I don't know if they put her up to it or not but it is just another episode in the comedy that is my life.

Day 154 - 22 Weeks Later

Today is 22 weeks since the accident. Things are still not back to normal. For one, Jan's neck is still not as mobile as before. As a result, she still is not driving. She does her physical therapy and it is improving slowly but surely. She also works out on the Wii Fit and it helps with other aspects of balance and strengthening.

We are still trying to nail down a vacation. Cancun was scratched for swine flu even though I think it is overblown and all. Statistically, some 30,000 people die in the US from the annual flu. There have been less than 70 deaths worldwide with most of those in Mexico. It must have been a slow news week!

We are either looking at Florida or Kauai (the northernmost Hawaiian island) for destinations. We have simple requirements:

• Timeshare availability
• Beach
• Reasonable airfare (or driving distance)
• Scuba diving available

So far, we can usually get two or three but all four have been a challenge with the time tables we are working with. Between school schedules, other people's vacations and high airfares for certain times, it has been a real puzzle to fit it all together.
