"THE NURSE CAME TODAY, BUT I WASN'T HERE"

WHEN OUR DAUGHTER FONDA ASKED MIKE ABOUT NURSE PEGGY COMING OVER-THAT IS WHAT HE SAID (THE ABOVE).  OF COURSE HE WAS HERE, AND HE SAW AND SPOKE WITH NURSE PEGGY.  SHE AND HIS HOSPICE DR. HAVE PUT HIM ON A STRONGER PATCH, AND A STRONGER DOSE OF THE MORPHINE TO HELP CONTROL HIS PAIN. I AM PRAYING THAT IT HELPS!! MIKE DID SAY SOMETHING THAT REALLY SHOCKED AND SURPRISED ME YESTERDAY.  HE WAS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING, AND I ASKED HIM TO REPEAT IT AFTER TRYING MY BEST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY.  I THEN FINALLY TOLD HIM THAT I WAS SORRY, BUT I JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING.  TO MY SURPRISE HE REPLIED "THAT IS BECAUSE I AM NOT SPEAKING CORRECTLY".  HE SAID THAT AS CLEAR AS A BELL!!  THAT MEANS, HE DOES UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS NOW SPEAKING MOSTLY GIBBERISH.  IT MUST BE TERRIBLE FOR HIM TO BE TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING, AND SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH MOST OF THE TIME.  TODAY, I HAVE A HOSPICE VOLUNTEER COMING TO WATCH MIKE THIS A.M., AS I HAVE NOT HAD MY HAIR CUT IN MONTHS.  MIKE KNOWS HER (SORT OF), AS SHE HAS SAT WITH HIM A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE.  MY LEFT KNEE AND UPPER LEG IS NOW KILLING ME WHEN I WALK.  I FELT MYSELF PULL SOMETHING YESTERDAY WHEN I GOT UP TO FAST.  MIKE WAS TRYING TO SAY HIS KNEE PROBLEM WAS CONTAGIOUS-IT WAS NOT CLEAR AS A BELL LIKE BEFORE, BUT I STILL GOT IT.  HE STILL HAS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR LOCKED UP IN THERE AND I LOVE IT WHEN I GET A GLIMPSE OF THE OLE MIKE.  IT LOOKS LIKE MY BATTERY ON MY COMPUTER IS DYING, SO I WILL HAVE SAY SO LONG FOR TODAY.  HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK HERE IN THE A.M., AND THAT YOUR DAY WILL BE LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK!!  JUST ME
