6 months and counting!

It's a beautiful sunny day in Missoula but the wind is blowing like crazy. This afternoon I had an intake meeting with my Vocational Rehabilitation counselor. Things went really good and we should be able to start putting together a vocational plan sometime in early April. I'm hoping to attend the University of Montana in the fall with a possible major in Journalism.

I have surpassed a major milestone out here in western Montana. I've been in Missoula for 6 months as of the 10th of March. It doesn't quite seem possible but it has been an awesome ride. My freedom from the nursing home has been liberating beyond words and there have been absolutely no regrets. A year is on the horizon next and I'm excited for all that is yet to come.

The Montana weather has taken a very nice turn towards spring. Last week we hit near 65 and it was so nice to sit out and catch some rays. The Pugs loved the sunshine too and we took Ugga and Daisy for a walk. Daisy wasn't sure what to think but Ugga was busy sniffing and barking at all the dogs in the neighborhood. I look forward to many more walks with the Pugs as the weather gets better.

Sometime this week I'll be switching over to my new silicone trach. This will hopefully make my changes much more comfortable and also take care of my bleeding issues.

That's about it for now but I had to put a couple pictures on this weeks post. The one is of Ugga when she decided to scale my headrest. She always has to be the center of attention. The second picture is me snuggling with our old guy and of course my sweetie Harley.
