" THE DOGS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO JAIL "

MORE CRAZY STUFF MIKE SAYS-WHILE HE IS AWAKE!!  SOME OF IT FLOORS ME, LIKE WHEN HE SAID YESTERDAY "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THEM".  MIKE NEVER TALKS LIKE THAT, AND HE JUST SAID IT OUT OF THE BLUE.  I WAS TRULY SHOCKED WHEN I ASKED HIM "WHO"?  HIS ANSWER WAS AS STRANGE AS HIS STATEMENT-"WHO EVER IS CHARGING US".   HE DOES KEEP ME ON MY TOES, I NEVER KNOW WHAT HE WILL COME OUT WITH NEXT!!  YESTERDAY WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY FOR MIKE, ALL IN ALL.  HE WAS UP BEFORE 10AM, AND HAD BREAKFAST WITH HOT CHOCOLATE, THEN HAD A P.& J. FOR LUNCH, AND PIZZA FOR DINNER.  WITH THE HELP OF HIS NEW APPETITE MEDS., HE HAS MANAGED TO PUT ON A FEW POUNDS-FINALLY!!  OUR DAUGHTER FONDA HELPED ME PUT HIM ON THE SCALE, AS HE COULD HARDLY STAND ON IT EVEN WITH ONE OF US ON EACH SIDE OF HIM. HE WAS AWAKE MORE YESTERDAY TOO, WHICH ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER-EVEN THOUGH I AM TOLD THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE FOR LONG.  I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HE WILL BE SLEEPING MORE AND MORE AS HIS BODY WEAKENS FROM THE BONE CANCER.  IN HIS CASE, I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT ALZHEIMER'S MAY BE A BLESSING.  HE NEVER SEEMS TO REMEMBER BEING IN ANY PAIN-SURE WISH I COULD SAY THAT!!  I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING ALL THAT GREAT LATELY, AND I HAVE A STRANGE LUMP ON MY LEG THAT I JUST SAW LAST NIGHT.  GUESS THE CAREGIVER IS IN NEED OF SOME CARE.  I WILL MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY PCP FOR WHEN OUR OTHER DAUGHTER FELINA COMES ON WEDS. OF NEXT WEEK TO WATCH HER DAD FOR ME.  IT IS JUST NOW 5:30 AM, AND I HAVE BEEN AWAKE AGAIN SINCE 3AM.. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY, AS I AM POOPED WHEN I GO TO BED.  MY SISTER VICKIE BROUGHT OVER A DRAWING BOOK AND A SKETCH PAD FOR ME TO USE TO GET MY MIND OFF THINGS.  I USE TO LOVE TO DRAW WHEN I WAS YOUNGER-MAYBE THAT LOVE WILL RETURN-WHO KNOWS?   I'LL GIVE IT A TRY LATER TODAY-DEPENDING ON HOW THE DAY GOES WITH MIKE.  THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS FROM YESTERDAY'S POST-IT'S NICE TO KNOW PEOPLE ARE CHECKING UP ON US!!  I WAS REMINDED OF ONE THING THAT I HAD HEARD ABOUT PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S.  NEVER ASK THEM QUESTIONS, AS THEY WILL FEEL BADLY THAT THEY DON'T REMEMBER.  IT IS BETTER TO SHARE MEMORIES WITH THEM THROUGH PICTURES-JUST A THOUGHT.  SPEAKING OF PICTURES, WE HAD SEVERAL TAKEN A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN MIKE JR. AND HIS FAMILY WERE IN TOWN.  WE WILL HAVE THE NEWEST FAMILY PICTURE WITH ALL THE GRAND KIDS (MINUS MINKA WHO WAS STILL IN HER MAMA'S BELLY AT THE TIME) HANGING IN THE LIVING ROOM SOON!! WELL, MIKE SLEEPS ON, AND I NEED MY COFFEE ABOUT NOW, SO TILL MONDAY, HAVE A SUPERB WEEK END-SPEND IT WITH THOSE YOU LOVE!!  JUST ME
