Barry, do not take this the wrong way. You will be totally wrong. I love you more everyday!

I have the house to myself for the first time in over 5 years. Barry is at work, working hard and loving it. Mom is at the gym. The puppydog and I are chillin’ on the sofa. Resting. Peace and quiet, and not knowing how to handle it. I probably wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I could move. I hurt so bad, even getting off the sofa causes pain. Maybe someone is tellng me to take a nap.

With Barry’s stroke and my bain tumor, it got to a point that we could no longer keep our business open. Until the business closed, I had someone home with me around the clock.It was hard to get privacy in the bathroom.

Mom moved into the usiness end of the house. She has a way of rubbing me the wrong way, but we need to work it out. Barry has trouble with crowds, noise and chatter. He is having a little trouble adjusting to her presence, but he is getting there. Since the stroke, Barry has had difficulty deaing with crowds and chatter. Om is sweet as she can be, but she can be a chatterbox.

Are they crazy? I was off Baclofen 2 days, when I fell into this endless cavern of misery. What was he thinking? I have never felt so bad. I could not stsnd up from the couch. I stuck it out for 2 days. Feeling better, but still miserable. Hope everyone has a great blessed weekend. I did a lot of praying over theaa past few days, as always. Pain is improving. Thank you, Precious Lord!

all dressed up with no where to go

What now……..I finally figured out how to get this thing started.

Hello everyone! My name is Jill Baynes. It was my idea to start a blog, to give both Barry and I an outlet to write things down instead of holding it all in. I hope you can handle my rambling.

After the past three years, I’m suprised one of us hasn’t ended upin the nut-house. Hospitals, rehab, doctors, out-patient rehab, then more doctors. The sad thing is that it hasn’t stopped yet. It kills a little part of me to see Barry in pain, but he has dealt with surviving the stroke incredibly well. I know he doesn’t like where the stroke has left him, but he knows God has  plan and he doesn’t give us anything we cannot handle.
