UPDATE: C-Span called today and said Michael's interview be played again tonight, the 29th, at 9:30PM on C-Span2 and then again next Sat. at 8:00PM on cspan as stated below.
Greetings everyone,
Tomorrow is a big day for us. New arms are supposed to arrive and final fittings will be on Wednesday. I hope all goes well. We just finished watching Michael's interview on Cspan, Wounded Soldiers from Iraq, and he did really well, IMHO. :-) Anyway, it was on at 8PM east coast time and will re-air again on Saturday at 8PM. I was glad they did not edit out anything. It lasts about 45 minutes. Hopefully, many of you will be able to see it.
Ot wants Michael to become more independent as part of his short term memory testing. (Read as Dad, take a hike for a while) LOL. No word on the cat scan results yet and I am still hesitant about his ability to remember everything. Part of the rehab will be to become more organized and keeping a daily planner with him always. Writing down everything he feels is important will become part of his daily routine for a while. Either way, it will be great for him moving forward with whatever career he plans on doing.
We had the mother of all rain and thunderstorms today at WalterReed. Man it poured for hours. Tomorrow and Wed. are supposed to be in the high sixties so we are anxiously awaiting the sun. :-) Next week we will be in Colorado in the snow. I sure hope it is sunny on the mountain. (This will be my first vacation in many years and I plan on laying around a lot, clearing my mind of as much stuff as I can)
Anyway, that is all for now. I am not sure if I will be taking my laptop with me on the trip yet. If I do, I will try to send an update, if not, then I will post one when we return.
Take care and God bless,
Mike Oreskovic
