10/17 Hello world

This is a one way communication vehicle for the most part.  I spend a lot of time writing updates, and chronicling my life here, with little to no feedback.  Because of this it becomes something I'm doing for myself not for anyone else.... and sometimes I just dont feel like spending the extra hour and a half of my life writing here...sorry. 

If there is any major update or change i will be sure to post it here.

For now, Richard remains the same.  Somewhat uninvolved in his rehab, and other days wanting more.

His vision and mental clarity seem to be better to me.  His physical state seems the same. His short term memory still impaired.

They switched him from Zoloft to Remeron.

I am trying to explore options in getting him into a different facility.

**EDIT**

I of course do not mean to insinuate that no one is grateful!  I do not blog for kudos, I do it to have something to look back on in 5 years and remember....and to prevent having to field dozens of emails texts and phone calls daily.  Its a one way mic for me, and the pure action of blogging is not as rewarding to me as it is to you, and therefore it can fall to the wayside easier for me than you when I am feeling overloaded.

For those of you that do not know I am the web engine for Americas largest independent youth football league.  This year we launched social media hubs which is part of my task, and we are in the last week of regular season and I have a tournament bracketing software system across three leagues I am trying to complete and launch before next weekend.  This encompasses 32 cities in the Chicagoland area, over 400 teams, 2000+ games per 9 week season, and thousands of kids and parents that are in the audience so it can be VERY demanding.  Right now it is VERY demanding.

Even if I was ready to leave and go home I cannot right now, because I cannot be in my truck in the middle of the redwood forest and have an issue arise with the website in the middle of the playoffs.

I came out here expecting to get him through rehab and on with life and am frustrated by his miniature steps forward.  I am with him about every other day right now while I try to complete my project.

I will try to be more communicative when I am able, but the above update seriously does represent what is going on.  He is not as participatory as I would like, but has not plateaued.
