Not sure what happened...

11:11AM -- Yesterday, Larry felt lousy all day until last night (after another dose of Dilaudid, a nausea med, and possibly a 1 hour nap), he felt somewhat better. Well, somewhere around midnight, he wants to get up and go play Mah-Jong on his computer. Okay...no biggie. However, by 1:00AM, he was still playing. I have someone coming in today to repair the buttons on the water/ice dispenser on the frig, and I told him I needed to go to bed. He said he would have the boys help him to the bedroom when they get in (around 2:30AM). I made sure he didn't need anything, and I went to bed. Well...at 6:35AM, he isn't in bed. I flew out of bed thinking the worse, of course, and found him STILL playing Mah-Jong! I went back to bed once I knew he was okay, but couldn't sleep. Ended up getting up around 7:45AM. He didn't go to bed until almost 9:30 this morning. I gave him his morning meds and did all of his eyedrops. He's now sleeping. Strange...just strange.

Guess I'll see how the day goes. I had to reschedule getting the car inspected this morning to Friday morning, because I really need to get the ice dispenser fixed. Larry loves his crushed ice. More later...

By the way....IT'S FINALLY RAINING HERE!!! YAY!

02:12PM -- Larry is awake and nauseated, so he took a nausea pill. He hasn't asked for pain med...yet.

Geezum...the temp is dropping...down to 58º now.

11:07PM -- Larry has taken several short naps this afternoon/evening. He's sitting on the bed watching television and munching on a few oatmeal raisin cookies with a small glass of milk. He's doing okay and hasn't asked for pain or nausea meds recently. I'm getting ready to go to bed myself. It's still raining and we have had flash flood warnings most of the day. We so needed this rain. The temperature is holding at 60º. Larry stays cold, so I've had to turn on the heat and shut all the windows. Heard from Lynell today...she is planning to come visit with us this weekend. Tomorrow is dialysis day, and he may need a transfusion if his hemaglobin has continued to drop. They said if it was down in the 9 range they would give him blood. He also has new hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 12:30PM to 4:45PM. He generally only goes 2 days a week now, skipping Saturdays...especially if there is family coming in. Okay...I'm out of here. Will try to update here tomorrow!
