Update from Metropolis

I know.  I know.  It's been way too long since I did this.  I guess I could say no news is good news!  Life is really OK.  Superman is doing well.  He has accepted his vision problems.  He has accepted the fact that he can't drive anymore.  He's accepted the fact that even kryptonite can't even save that part of him.  He's doing really well.  The memory and the vision, I think, are as good as they will ever be.  But that's alright.  We deal with it.  He is actually well enough for me to go back to work.  I've gotten a job and start soon.  

I'm looking forward to it and so is Bob.  We need a little space.  Even though I love this man.  I need some space. Superman has little fits of frustration, little episodes of over-sensitivity that he didn't ever feel before the stroke, and an occasional burst of "mad.  But his original personality has slowly come back.  I probably said that when I met Superman he was the sweetest superhero I ever met.  That sweetness has slowly started to come back.  It's nice.  

In addition to that he tries to create projects for himself now.  Little projects around the house, fixing things, taking dishes out of the dishwasher and he even has a little tomato garden on the deck.  I'm very proud of him.  He tries to be productive and that makes him feel more independent and useful.  

God has been with us every step of this journey.  I'm still scared a little about the future, but I know I have no control.  So, you move forward with faith and you trust.  I have learned to accept and appreciate.  Appreciate our life right now.  Accept Bob's limitations.  Accept that I have no control.  Most of all accept the grace and blessings that have been given to us with thankfulness and much appreciation.

Just wanted to say that Superman and Lois Lane are doing just fine.
