| Reflection In Strasburg. |
 | On Tuesday we traveled to Leesburg so Frank could get his cochlear implant activated. I took this picture as he was being tested with the new hearing device turned on. For now it just sounds like noise; he has to learn to make sense of words in that ear. It's been a month since he had the surgery that marked the most drastic part of the process. Since then he has suffered with balance issues and nausea, and had to walk with the assistance of a walker or cane. |

Although I feel confident that he will regain full mobility, aging is a relentless process from which no one is immune. I have problems with stairs myself. "Seasons change and so did I,You need not wonder why." ~ The Guess Who.
This flower is one of the few I have seen outdoors lately. Cold temperatures have ended the blooming season for all but the most hardy.

Aging is NOT fun! Wise of you to move to single-level living. Love the photo of Frank.
ReplyDelete...I hope that Frank's situation improves.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Frank. I always feel very fortunate that, at almost seventy-nine, I can still walk 10km without difficulty, and I still teach and I still learn. I know it can't last for ever but I intend to enjoy it while I may!
ReplyDeleteHoping Frank's difficulties resolve soon. And it's a great idea to move to single level living!
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray he feels better soon. It really is hard to go through all the changes we make as we age. Take care! Hugs to you both, Diane
ReplyDeleteIf I were to ever buy a place, and I am considering it, I would go for a single story home.
ReplyDeleteI do hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI think as we age single level living is well worth considering.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
