I worked at a physical rehab center for 5 years.  As another poster stated, the amount of improvement depends on a lot of things.  However, I saw people leave or return for appts with no noticeable residual, others who still had deficits but were independent.  Those who were permanently impaired learned to adapt. There are some really cool gadgets out there! One thing I learned from working at the rehab center was determination really *can* pay off.  It was inspiring working there. 

IF your dad needs extensive therapy, the hardest part for YOU may be keeping him motivated.  So, best of luck to your dad, you and the family.  Let us know how things are going.

It has become a tradition in our neighborhood to "spook" our neighbors.  Here is how it works. 

First the poem

Good Evening My Friends!

The Gretting of the Ghosts are haunting your way

A cursewill be left if you fail to obey!

To ward off the curse of the dreaded Phanton Wart

You have just ONE day till you must start.

Take treats to two houses in your neighborhood.

Be sure they are tasty! Be sure they are good!

Copy a letter and a phantom for each.

Help the "spirit" spread to those you can reach.

Post the ghost of the phanton on your front door.

So others can see he has been there before.

Join the fun of the season

Keep him right in sight

Share the "spirit" of giving

Till Halloween Night!

Sincerely,

                                             The Halloween Phantom.

Here is the rest....My dauther downloaded a picture of a ghost and printed it on an 8x10 piece of paper so we could go ahead and get started without having to make copies.

Then go to the dollar store and first get a big plastic candy bowl.  In our bowl we received last night there was candy....always candy, a halloween candle, a cermic figurine of a bear dressed like a ghost, halloween clings for windows, halloween potholders, and our fav. Peeps ghosts, all which I am sure came from the dollar store.  My son came home and found the bowl on front porch. 

Here are some other things we have recieved in the past....candy....always candy, halloween dishtowels, stickers, bubbles, and gel pens when the kids were younger, a plant in a halloween container, chip clips, magnetic grocery lists, brownine mixes, even a halloween throw rug for the front door.

We once spooked a couple that did not have kids so we gave them some goodies as well as dog treats. 

We also once spooked a family with a daughter the same age as mine so we thought we could get some really cute things.  They were Jehovah's witnesses.  Needless to say they did not put the pic. of the ghost on the front door. 

This has been going on in this growing neighborhood for the past 5 years and everyone really seems to enjoy it. 

This is also a geat idea for school teachers, dorm rooms, etc.  Hope this inspires some.

Doctor just dictated this:

3,000 miles away this Thanksgiving/Christmas season.....I hope someone gets a kick out of it. I'm so sad today.

Good afternoon Ms. Best-Thanksgiving-Cook in the whole world! How are you today?

What I wish I knew then what I know now...and need to know now...

Layoffs in the North Pole

Story by Bill Perkins

In a press release this morning Santa Claus announced the layoff of nearly 800,000 elf employees. The announcement was completely unexpected despite the current economic situation.

Due to the failing economy, and many companies cutting costs wherever they can, including advertising, Mr. Claus has lost several endorsement jobs.

Mr. Claus is seeking government aid, requesting his own bailout package from several different governments. However, he is meeting a great deal of resistance. Many toymakers and distributors, namely Walmart, Playskool, and the Chinese government, are lobbying against the bailout. They say Santa's "Free Toy for Every Child" program is a seasonal monopoly, and it generally takes four months to recover the losses sustained from his "good deeds."

Children across the globe will feel the impact this Christmas, particularly the naughty ones. Traditionally, naughty children receive lumps of coal from Santa on Christmas. Mr. Claus has no coal to give, though, as it was part of the elves' severance packages. It is Santa's hope that it will at least be enough to keep his former employees warm through the winter.

When asked if there was any hope of the elves returning to work next year, Santa replied, "It doesn't look very promising. The elves are like family to me; I love them all very dearly. Unfortunately, illegal immigrants work for a lot less, and I don't have to provide benefits, so that's probably what I'll have to do. It was a difficult decision to make, but it's necessary if I want to keep the business in operation."

The elves aren't the only ones hurting. The reindeer are suffering a great deal more. Mr. Claus has had to auction off much of his breeding stock just to stay operational until Christmas Eve. (See related story on page 5, "McDonald's Debuts new Christmas Menu.) It is questionable at this point how much longer Santa will be able to make his annual flight.

Could this be the beginning of the end of Santa Claus? Only time will tell for sure.

Hey everyone,

Not sure if anyone heard about this but just wanted to let you all know I found a really cool shopping site that gives you a rebate for every item you buy!  Man that is going to help me out with x-mas coming.  You do have the option to sign up and get your own mall.  I did and now I am shopping like crazy!!

We are going to a family reunion this weekend and I'm looking for some new ideas for something to take.  Not anything too complicated since I work full time at home with 4 kids plus mother-in-law and 2 extra family members will be here tonight from Arizona and staying with us.  Can be anything - dessert, side, main etc.  Just having a hard time coming up with anything really yummy to feed a big group.  Have lots of chicken in the freezer so maybe something down that line. Thanks!!

microwave candies or relatively foolproof stove-top or oven methods, preferrably ones that have been tested.   I typically bake and decorate iced cake-mix cookies and make up gift boxes for neighbors, friends, the mailman, etc.,  but candies would be a nice addition...fudge, divinity, pralines, nut brittles, killer brownies or anything else you may have in your repertoire would be appreciated. 

I just received an email with some Northpole recipes.  I thought I would share. 

I was given this link:

have fun!

I'm looking for both snack and meal recipes for an older dog that's kind of sedentary but LOVES to eat.  I'm convinced the food at the grocery store is either highly caloric or filled with a bunch of junk.

Thanks for your suggestions!
