OFF DAY YESTERDAY FOR MIKE-MUST HAVE HAD A BAD DREAM.

MIKE WOKE UP TALKING ABOUT NUBERS THAT DROVE HIM CRAZY ALL NIGHT.  HE WAS PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT TOO, AND WHEN I TRIED ALL THE ITEMS WITH NUMBERS THAT I COULD THINK OF AND BOMBED, I TOLD HIM MIKE JR. WOULD BE HOME ANY MINUTE AND MAYBE HE CAN FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOU..  I ASKED IF HE WANTED TO GET UP, BUT HE SAID " NO, I'LL JUST STAY IN BED FOR A WHILE". WAS NOT HIS NORMAL HAPPY SELF, BUT THEN MIKE JR. CAME, AND TALKED WITH HIM FOR A WHILE AND HAD HIM PRETTY MUCH CONVINCED THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN ALL THE NUMBERS IN THE RUMMIKUB GAME (WHICH I SUGGESTED EARLIER TO WHICH HE SAID NO-THAT WAS NOT IT).  GO FIGURE!!!   ANY HOW HE IS IN ANOTHER ODD MOOD THIS AM, PLUS I HEARD HIM MOAN LOUDLY LAST NIGHT IN HIS SLEEP.  I WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH HIS HOSPICE NURSE ABOUT INCREASING THE DOSE ON HIS PAIN PATCH. THIS AM HE WAS UP BEFORE 6AM, AND I ASKED HIM WHERE HE WAS GOING, AND HE SAID TO BED.  HE WAS HEADED OUT INTO THE HALL WAY, SO I SAID THE BED IS THIS WAY.  HE DID COME BACK TO BED BUT KEPT MUMBLING SOMETHING.  HE DID ASK ME IF I WAS GOING TO GET UP, AND I SAID IN AN HOUR OR SO-IT WAS BARELY 6AM..  TODAY OUR DAUGHTER FELINA AND HER DAUGHTER (OUR GRAND DAUGHTER) JAKKI WILL ALSO BE COMING OVER FOR A WHILE.  MIKE IS HAVING A HARDER AND HARDER TIME WALKING FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS.  I KNOW IT REALLY BOTHERS HIM, SO I HOPE THE NEW PAIN PATCHES WILL HELP ENOUGH TO MAKE HIS LEGS GO A LITTLE BETTER.  I GET SO AFRAID HE WILL FALL, BUT HE IS STILL MIKE, AND WHEN HE WANTS TO DO SOMETHING, HE FINDS A WAY.  OUR DEAR SON LEAVES TODAY, IT IS SAD FOR US, BUT I KNOW THOSE TWO GIRLS OF HIS (NOT TO MENTION HIS LOVELY WIFE) WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO GET HIM BACK HOME.  I REALLY DO APPRECIATE LAURA FOR LETTING MIKE JR. COME WITH OUT THE REST OF THE FAMILY.  I KNOW IT CREATES A HARDSHIP FOR HER, AND SHE DOES IT SO THAT MIKE CAN SEE HIS FAMILY, BUT PRIMERILY HIS DAD AGAIN.  WELL, I NEED MY COFFEE MORE THAN USUAL TODAY, SO TILL TOMORROW-FORGET THE ROSES, SMELL THE COFFEE!!! JUST ME
