Yesterday I was told by a Mexican to say mejorando when asked how Colin was doing. \u00a0That is the Mexican way!<\/p>\n

Colin has now been back here in the RV for a full two weeks since leaving the General Mazatlan Hospital. It has not been easy on either of us. Poco a poco as they say. But each day is better than the last – well for him. I am still struggling to go hour after hour without a break but I now find I am a bit stronger. I certainly am learning a great deal about doing all I need to know about running an RV. \u00a0Good thing I am a whiz at the nursing part.<\/p>\n

Please take the time to go back and read each and every comment<\/em> I made to those who actually commented on the initial post<\/a>\u00a0about Colin’s stroke. \u00a0You will learn much about what happened and why and what our future plans are.<\/span> I have not one extra minute to repeat myself with individual replies to emails. I may or may not continue posting here every few days. \u00a0I have not yet decided.<\/p>\n

Today the last of my English speaking support system have left for the season. It makes it more difficult and time consuming to get things done. What you need to know is that Colin needs someone here all the time. That I can’t just go out and purchase a few groceries \u00a0( no veggie trucks this year ) here on the Isla. I can’t drive because of my eyes. Getting into Mazatlan to do banking is important but takes an immense planned effort to execute as I can only use the main Embarcadero lanchas re safety for myself. I will soon run out of cash, how will I get more? \u00a0Everyday new mountains present themselves to me to sort out. Nor just here on the Isla but things happening back home in Canada as well as in the background.<\/p>\n

Written by Colin May 12th at 11:14AM<\/strong>\u2026. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.Relearning My process is likened to a wave. I get this enthusiasm, this strength, this I can do it, I can stand, I have done it before.<\/p>\n

The wave approaches and I give it my best and, I fail. I fall down and the wave passes me by.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t crest it, I got lost in the depression, sadness becomes me, and think I cant do it.<\/p>\n

But, that energy and strength didn\u2019t leave me. It is still a part of me. It is an invisible force that I created which unbeknown by me is resting and and waiting for the next crest, the next wave.<\/p>\n

The waves become stronger and larger. I focus more intently on my goals, I become stronger and capture the success and inspiration to continue and achieve my goals\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

Right now I have 836 messages in my inbox with 108 unread.<\/p>\n

A well meaning local made a comment about us simply sitting each day watching TV \ud83d\ude33 If Colin isn’t exercising he is sleeping from exhaustion. \u00a0And I am doing all in my power to keep him motivated and our family together moving forward.<\/p>\n
