Life Happens...Just like that other thing...
11:30AM -- I awakened Larry this morning at 10:15 because I thought he was going to dialysis. And, he was going up until about 10 minutes ago. He's decided not to so I've called to let them know he will see them on Saturday. He was nauseated again this morning and only had an Ensure and a half cup of coffee for breakfast. He seems to be doing better than yesterday, but he hasn't gotten out of bed yet. I've noticed that it takes a bit more effort on my part to pull him up into a sitting position, and it takes more effort on his part to get from the bed to his wheelchair and vice versa. But, he seems to be still holding his own. He hasn't asked for Dilaudid (pain med) but once or twice in the few days. He hasn't been eating a lot, but I always feel better about that when he drinks an Ensure. The temps here today are not bad (75º currently) and it's partially overcast. The high is suppose to be somewhere around 85º today. Not bad. The nurse that discharged Larry from the hospital on Sunday just called to check on him. That's a nice touch. Well, more later...

I haven't known Larry very long. In fact I do not know him well at all. The few times I have talked to him where tremendously rememberable. He has a gifted spirit. I love his out look on life and the tidal waves that come with it. Everyone could learn something from him. I know I have learned,with life problems come. It's all in how you handle that counts. But mostly I hae learned, no matter the issue. It's jus a thing. Like his illnes,it's just a thing. He remains the light in everyone eyes and the smile on his wife's face. He will always be the one memory I have of how to beat my issues. It's just a thing
