Not much to report in the last little while. Bev finds it exhausting to use the keyboard so I guess you're stuck with me for awhile. Hopefully the physiotherapist will be able to get Bev's hands working better. Somehow she manages to use the keys on the TV converter though.  The physiotherapist will be coming to the house twice a week. We don't know the schedule for the occupational therapist yet. It seems to take forever to get these things sorted out. Bev can get in and out of the pool with help, getting in is a lot easier than getting out, she has been in a couple of times now.  The heat keeps us in the house most of the time. One of Kim's friends lent us a floor model air conditioner for the main floor and I installed a window air conditioner in the bedroom so we are surviving the heat OK.  It looks like we will have to finally break down and get central air. Bev goes back to St. Mikes this week for a neurophysiology test to determine the extent of nerve damage to the right side of her face from the blow to the head. Hopefully it will go OK. Her right eyelid is functioning better so the nerve damage there seems to be healing itself.

Bev doesn't feel up to doing the Blog just now. One of her lower right teeth was damaged in the accident and it started bothering her recently. She went to her own dentist last week. The dentist said it must be extracted but considering Bev's injuries and the long list of drugs she is on the dentist sent her to a dental surgeon in Newmarket. It was just supposed to be an evaluation visit but the dentist decided to remove the tooth immediately. At least Bev didn't have any time to get all worried about it. With the help of gas and some valium the whole thing was done before she knew it, she doesn't remember a thing.  It turns out that the receptionist is the wife of our car insurance agent so she knew all about Bev's accident. The new physiotherapist visited on Monday for an evaluation and will be back Thursday.  It looks like she will be coming to the house 2 days a week. No word on the occupational therapist yet. Bev is going back to St. Mikes tomorrow to have her eye looked at.  We went to Jack's 65th birthday party on Friday night and had a great time. On the weekend Sherri came down and kept Bev busy while I caught up on other things. Bev now has a Wii with the Fit program so Sherri set that up and Bev enjoyed it very much. Two friends from Bev's work dropped by for lunch today so we are keeping very busy.

Hi its me again (Bev). I’m home!! And believe it or not I’m home for good. It feels so good to wake up in my own bed with Dave beside me!!!!!!!!!!!! They took me by surprise when they said I could go home on June 30th but I wasn’t going to argue! Physio hasn’t started yet but it should be soon. They called today and she has someone in Aurora but nothing was said. We were out twice this weekend – once to my younger brother Ed’s for Christen’s birthday (on Sat) and once to Grace & Ron’s (on Sunday) for dinner. I may have been exhausted but it was worth it.

Message from Dave: Sorry about last weeks blog, or lack of it.  Somehow when I tried to post the blog it disapeared. I didn't realize it until we started this one. Hopefully Bev will be assessed and approved this week for physio and occupational therapy. Most of it should take place at home but we may have to travel once a week to Scarborough.  Our social life seems to be getting back in gear with invitations for dinners and people coming to our house to visit.  It sure beats driving to downtown Toronto every day.
