ANOTHER ROUGH NIGHT

MIKE WAS NOT FEELING WELL AT ALL LAST NIGHT.  HE SLEPT MOST OF THE DAY, BUT AT LEAST HE HAD A BIG LUNCH.  HE ONLY HAD A COUPLE BITES OF DINNER, AND THEN HE GOT SICK AND BARFED.  I GAVE HIM SOME TUMS, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP MUCH.  I TRIED TO GIVE HIM AN ENSURE SO HE COULD TAKE HIS P. M. PILLS, BUT ONE OF THE PILLS GOT STUCK IN HIS THROAT, AND THEN HE STARTED BURPING AGAIN.  I KNOW HE IS WEAK FROM SEVERAL CAUSES-LOSS OF BLOOD, LACK OF SLEEP, PLUS HIS OTHER MORE SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUE.  I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE WE BOTH CAUGHT SOMETHING IN THE E.R., BUT I ALSO HAD TO UP CHUCK MY FOOD DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.  I SURE HOPE NOT, AS I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE QUITE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH.  IT'S GREAT TO HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS SAYING PRAYERS FOR US.  THAT IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO FOR EACH OTHER THAT DOES NOT COST ANYTHING, AND YET DOES THE MOST GOOD.  I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT MIKE WAS ABLE TO SLEEP ALL NIGHT AFTER GETTING SO MUCH SLEEP YESTERDAY, BUT IT IS NOW AFTER 8:30 A.M., AND HE IS STILL IN BED.  WE DID THE SAME LAST NIGHT AS WE DID THE NIGHT BEFORE-WENT STRAIGHT TO BED RIGHT AFTER WHEEL OF FORTUNE. SO FAR THIS AM,  I'VE ALREADY DONE THE NORMAL THINGS.  I LET THE DOGIES OUT, AND THEN FED THEM.  I EVEN REMEMBERED TO TAKE MY MORNING MEDS!!  IT IS SORT OF NICE TO HAVE A LITTLE QUIET TIME IN THE MORNING.  MIKE LIKES TO HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION WHEN HE IS AWAKE, SO THAT MAKES READING MY BIBLE, THE NEWS PAPER, OR ANY THING ELSE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.  HE WILL EITHER ASK ME ONE QUESTION AFTER ANOTHER, OR SOMETIMES WILL JUST START READING THE PAPER OUT LOUD.  I KNOW HE IS NOT AWARE OF WHAT HE IS DOING-OR IS HE???  ANY HOW, I KNOW THAT I WILL TRULY MISS ALL THOSE THINGS ONE DAY, JUST LIKE HIS SNORING, AND BACK SCRATCHING/PATTING, SO I JUST SMILE INSIDE WHEN HE  DOES THEM NOW.  HE SAID HE WANTS TO TRY OUT THAT NEW BATH TUB LIFT TODAY THAT I GOT FOR HIM.  IT LOOKS GREAT, I JUST HOPE IT WORKS GREAT.  I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW HE ENJOYED IT TOMORROW.  OH, BTW, MORE ON THE FOLEY OVER NIGHT BAG.  MIKE DECIDED HE DID NOT NEED IT ANY MORE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, SO HE TOOK IT OFF!!  OF COURSE  IT LEAKED, AND I HAD TO PUT A NEW STOMA BAG ON HIM AGAIN THIS AM.  TILL TOMORROW-BE BLESSED- WE ARE!! JUST ME
