The hospital gave Rob the opportunity for day passes for Saturday, Sunday and Monday to both give us an opportunity to see how things "worked" at our home regarding the wheelchair, shower, etc and to give him the chance to get out of the hospital! They told Rob to take it easy, to not have a lot of people over or go to a place with a lot of people. They did not, however, tell him not to help install a well pump! There he was, wheeling himself and being pushed around the yard, helping lower and raise the pump, giving instructions on the rewiring of it, crimping and wire nutting (I don't if that's a term) wires together, even involving himself in the blow torch part of the operation. We got the new pump installed on Saturday, dropped it back down into the well, turn it on and........ nothing. We figured out the problem was somewhere between the pump and the house but were just too tired to continue! Thankfully, Rick Snyder was able to come over early Sunday morning and found out the the problem was with bad wiring. Wires were replaced and, Bingo!, we had water! We also had a worn out Rob on Saturday. He also spent Sunday at home but decided to stay at the hospital on Monday where he entertained a wonderfully encouraging visit with his cousin Scott.
