FROM ALZHEIMER'S TO CANCER

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT LATELY ALL MY FOCUS HAS BEEN ON MIKE'S BONE CANCER.  I SOMETIMES EVEN FORGET ABOUT THE ALZHEIMER'S WHICH IS WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE.  IT IS SO AMAZING TO ME HOW LIFE AND OUR CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT.  THIS PAST YEAR HAS BROUGHT ABOUT MANY CHANGES IN MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY.  AT THE BEGINNING WE WERE ALL FOCUSED ON HOW TO HELP MIKE KEEP WHAT MEMORIES HE STILL HAS, AND FIND A WAY TO HELP HIM FROM GETTING ANY WORSE.  WE TRIED TWO OR THREE CLINICAL STUDIES, AND EVEN ACUPUNCTURE!!  ALL TO NO AVAIL.  HE IS STILL SLIPPING AWAY, BUT I MUST SAY TO THE UNTRAINED EYE-HE WOULD ALMOST SEEM NORMAL.  AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES WITH THEM.  ONCE HE STARTS REPEATING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN-THEY FIGURE IT OUT.  MIKE IS STILL IN BED SLEEPING.  WE BOTH SLEPT GOOD LAST NIGHT (THANKS TO LUNESTA)!!  I THINK EVERY BONE IN MY BODY WAS HURTING LAST NIGHT, AND I JUST REALLY NEEDED A GOOD NIGHTS REST.  MASSEY IS COMING AGAIN TO TREAT THE HOUSE AND YARD.  NOT BECAUSE WE ARE STILL HAVING ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TICKS (THANK JEHOVAH), THOSE LITTLE BLOOD SUCKERS ALMOST DID ME IN.  I THINK I WOULD HAVE MOVED OUT IF THEY DID NOT GET RID OF THOSE TINY CREATURES.  I WAS CALLING THEM "THE BLACK PLAGUE!!  THAT IS ONE QUESTION I HOPE TO GET AN ANSWER TO IN THE NEW SYSTEM-WHAT IN THIS WORLD ARE TICKS GOOD FOR??? ANY HOW, JUST GOT AN UPDATE FROM OUR DAUGHTER FELINA WHO IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL.  SHE SOUNDS GOOD, BUT THEY ARE STILL RUNNING SOME MORE TEST ON HER TODAY-ONE IS AN MRI, AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE OTHER TWO.  SHE IS SURE HOPING THEY ALL COME BACK CLEAR SO SHE CAN GET OUT OF THERE TODAY.  I THINK WE ALL  KNOW HOW MUCH FUN IT'S NOT  BEING IN THE HOSPITAL!! ANY HOW, HER APPATITE SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL, SHE ASKED ME TO MAKE HER SOME OF MY NAVY BEAN SOUP WITH THE HAM HOCKS IN IT. SO, I THINK I NEED TO GET DRESSED AS I HAVE MUCH TO DO BEFORE THE PEOPLE FROM MASSEY GET HERE.  HOPEFULLY YOUR DAY WILL BE WORRY FREE. TILL TOMORROW-JUST ME
