SLEEPY SLEEPY DAY

MIKE WAS IN BED MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY.  HE GOT UP TO GO TO THE MEETING, BUT I COULD SEE SOMETHING WAS WRONG.  I KEPT ASKING HIM BUT HE JUST SAID "I DON'T KNOW".  HE WAS BURPING CONSTANTLY, AND COULD NOT EAT HIS BREAKFAST, SO I SAID WE WOULD GO BACK TO BED AND LISTEN TO OUR MEETING. HE FUSSED A LITTLE INSISTING HE COULD MAKE IT, BUT IN THE END, I PUT HIM BACK IN BED.  HE DID NOT GET UP FOR LUNCH UNTIL FONDA (OUR YOUNGEST) CAME OVER FOR A VISIT.  HE GOT UP FOR HER, AND SHE GOT HIM TO EAT A P&J SANDWICH, AND TAKE HIS PILLS.  RIGHT AFTER FONDA LEFT MIKE WENT RIGHT BACK TO BED, AND STAYED THERE TILL I TOLD HIM DINNER WAS ON THE TABLE.  HE DID NOT GET UP RIGHT AWAY, I HAD TO GO BACK INTO THE ROOM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEN HE FINALLY GOT UP AND ATE.  AFTER DINNER I PUT HIM IN HIS RECLINER, AND TURNED ON THE FOOTBALL GAME.  OUR GOOD FRIEND TERRY SWOFFORD & HIS WIFE DARLENE CALLED, AND MIKE SPOKE WITH TERRY, BUT WAS SOUND ASLEEP EARLIER WHEN DAR CALLED.  NO MATTER WHAT MIKE MAY BE GOING THROUGH, HE CONTINUES TO BE HAPPY EVERY DAY AND EVEN TELLS US HOW LUCKY HE IS BECAUSE EVERY TIME HE GOES INTO THE HOSPITAL-THEY FIX WHAT'S WRONG AND HE GETS TO COME BACK HOME.  MY HEART BREAKS, BUT I JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE "IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE IRISH!!  OUR FRIEND GAIL TELLS HIM THAT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE HE STILL WINS AT PHASE 10 OR RUMMIKUB SOMETIMES.  OF COURSE WE NOW BEND THE RULES A LITTLE JUST FOR HIM!!  WELL, IT IS POURING DOWN RAIN, AND I AM SO GLAD I HAVE NO PLACE TO BE THIS MORNING. MIKE  SLEPT WELL LAST NIGHT, AND IS STILL RESTING.  IT IS ALMOST 10:30AM., AND I AM HOPING THIS WILL NOT BE A REPEAT OF YESTERDAY. IT IS NOT LIKE MIKE TO STAY IN BED THIS LATE.   WELL, I SURE HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND YOURS-TILL TOMORROW-JUST ME
