The oops test...

Today began very early since Kenny only was up for a short time on Friday. Friday ended up being a frustrating day for him since he seemed to not be able to hold things well in his hands. He spilled his coffee four times, I think and missed his mouth a couple of times with his cereal; he really got very irritated with himself. So this morning he asked me who was coming to see him and I told him no one in particular. "Well, what about the cholesterol test (the blood sugar test)?" Dr Sasser said that was no longer necessary. "Well, what about taking my blood pressure?" The nurse takes his BP each time she is here and it is always fabulous. "Well," he asked, "what about the "oops test"? I said, "What is the "oops test"? "The one to test if I am going to spill everything today..." What a memory and what a guy!

He awoke several times before dawn and wanted to know if it was getting up time. I told him the time; he decided to go back to sleep. So we decided to try to stay up longer today and stay up for meals then take a nap in bed, so perhaps he would sleep better tonight. Here's hoping. So far he is doing a lot of talking in his sleep. Today during the day he read every page of the newspaper, watched a bit of TV and napped in his chair for a few "cat naps". After supper, he became very lethargic and rather unclear in his speech and in his thinking. That has continued through the night so far. But we have a had a good four days in which he had a lot of clarity in his thoughts and his speech, so we cannot complain.

We have a cute picture of Papa with his Superman tee shirt on (with his oxygen aparatus as well) but I cannot figure out how to post it on the blog. Maybe one of my kids can help me do it. I think you all would enjoy seeing it. If I can learn how to do that, we will take some more photos - he gets his feet and legs massaged everyday with Arnica Gel, which he loves, and today he got a partial manicure. What a life!

Thanks for the comments. I relay them to Kenny. He is thinking about all of you. In fact this morning he and I went through his little black book, noting phone numbers of those friends who do not have email. I managed to keep him from calling them at 6:00 AM West Coast time.
At least you all can peruse the blogspot at your leisure.

Keep him in your prayers.
