Blog 101 - To those of you who are new to blogs and blogging, I wanted to give a brief overview of how to use this site. There are authors and followers. Authors are Val and Connie. Followers are all of our wonderful support system that continue to follow Bru's journey through this battle. Authors create posts, followers can read posts and comment on posts that have been created. As a follower you don't have to log in in with an account or sign in to comment. If there is a post that you are interested in commenting on, just click the comment icon below the post itself. Once you have typed your post, you must choose an account just below the text box, choose anonymous! If you are looking for all of the posts to the blog, scroll down the page and look to the right of the screen, every post is listed there by month and day. It's listed chronologically starting newest to oldest. If you want to add pictures, please email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com with a description of the picture and the caption you would like underneath it. Blogging is very similar to Facebook and other social sites, but it doesn't have the ability to post things to the blog like you do people's walls in facebook. If you are having problems viewing the blog, it may be because of settings that you have on your internet browser . You can type the URL into your smart phone browser as well and see the blog pretty well. If you want updates sent to you anytime things are updated, subscribe to the blog by email. This option is at the top of the page on the right hand side of your screen just above the picture of Bruce. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com.

Telephone Conversation

Good morning all, I was pleasantly surprised when I called the house on Sunday morning...... Bruce talked to me on the phone!!! It was awesome, at first I thought it was Jacob pulling my leg, but it actually was Bruce. I about fell off my chair to say the least, we had a nice little chat. Still have to remember not to throw too many questions at once at him. I asked if he wanted a chocolate malt on Tuesday when I came out and he answered Yes, from the Lobbyside? What a wonderful experience it was. We will have to try it out with others.
It came to Val during the night Saturday & when I called she thought what the heck, let's see if it works and it did! Yea Bruce!
Bruce has continued to make great strides this last week. Talking more for one thing and he is up and using a cane at times. When he gets tuckered out he uses the walker. He has been on his recumbent bike quite a bit and striving to get stronger for their trip.
Change of plans in the vacation due to the fact it takes too long to get passports for all and don't want to put off the trip any longer. They will be going to Bonita Springs later this month, the whole family and if Bruce does well, he & Val will go to Turks for a week after that.
I believe that is why Bruce is doing so well this week, he really wants to go on the trip & working very hard to acheive his goals. GO BRUCE!!!!

    What good news to hear that BPR is getting chatty on the phone and working out on the indoor bike. He is as we all know a tough dude. Val and Connie, give Bruce a hug for me until I get there to get it myself. Bruce, stay out of trouble until we can get in some together. Dave
