Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

                                                           August 15, 2026 It's amazing the difference in 14 days. And on August 31 in his first PT session. He's standing. Sept. 1st,  he was put in a jump suit,  which was attached to a track in  the ceiling which allowed him to  walk.  If you are interested in keeping up  with DJ's progress, you can do that from a FB page I set up, at  (3) Facebook Boy is moving on, making progress and kicking rehabs butt.  I decorated his room today, and hung his cards up so  he could see them better. The card on the bottom right,  that is from Ann. Duck tape can fix a lot of  things, but the doc said no  to using it on DJ... lol His mom brought somethings from his room, one thing being the watercolor I did for  DJ sometime back. DJ is the...

 I did not go to the hospital on  Friday. My yard was in need of some  clippers. It needed a cut really badly. However, my front and side had been cut, thanks to Deborah to the left of me. I did go around some areas close to the house again. I cut as close as I can to  try and avoid weed eating. It did not work so well for the last couple of weeks, the weeds were trying to take over. AND it was almost there! I struggled with the weeder,  this one, that one, another one and then the gas one. The first two were actually one, but two batteries. They suck. Ten seconds on both and they are done. So, I tried the plug in one,  wrapped string, several times, but the eater ate that up.  the last one was I tried to start the gas, I can't pull the string hard  enough. I said, SCREW IT! I went in and posted on the  Hickman page that I was in  need of someone to do it for me. I had a mom reach out. Her 17 yr old (same age as DJ), could do it. Out of ...

Hey all.  I started to tell you all about  my life the past week, going into detail, but its just way to much. Other than to say, last Friday I  went to NC with my sis in law and  6:15am on Sat. I got a call,  my middle grandson was in a horrible wreck. I was at Vanderbilt hospital  where DJ was life flighted in five hours. It's a lot so I am not going into it all. But pics can help tell the story. This is when I first saw him. Temp surgery on his head. He was thrown from a small pickup  truck at over 80 miles an hour. His scalp was ripped from above the  eyes to almost the back of his head.  This pic was the first day. On Wed. the bandage was removed. His right leg as hanging open. A seven shape cut into it and cut all the way to the bone. His C2 vertebrate was fractured and had to be fused to C3. C7 was crushed and required about 8 screws and rods to repair that. We are still dealing with swelling of the spine. He has moved in all limbs, th...

                                          In the last fe w months,  the hair has gone from white,           to white with ash And on Wed. to a tad more ash. After getting my hair done I  swung by the pet store to pick up wet Lily food.  I checked out the cats, there was an adorable one, a gray tabby  but this one had the sweetest face.  I also checked out the fish. I used to have a beta. His name was Mr. Squiggles. But he did not look like these patch work betas. and there was a couple of  sea urchins hanging to the glass. And this thingy.  My beta was so cool. He would come up  to the top of the bowl when I walked up to him, and I would rub the top of  his head. Some folks buy different phone covers so they can change out the cover when the mood strikes. Do you have more than one phone cover? I see no sense i...
