Message 988

I am still improving. I have not thrown up since I left the nursing home last Saturday. Last night I watched a DVD of the movie Texasville. It was another Jeff Bridges movie bason on a book By Larry McMurtry. Like all of his books, it is bizarre in many ways, but it also reflects true human nature. I give it three stars.

Message 987

I started to write this message this morning, but then I went with my caregiver Lily to get a haircut, after which I had lunch and took a nap. I had a better night’s sleep last night, and I feel a little better today. Last night I watched Les Mis on PBS, and then the news and Charlie Rose. This afternoon I will take a shower.

Message 986

Julian has asked about the dates for our Sandbridge house this coming summer. We arrive on 9 July 2011 and leave on 16 July 2011. My sister Mary called me this morning from the Detroit airport. She was on her way home after spending a weekend with Kirsten. They drove to Cincinnati and back to visit friends. I got through the night OK, and Lily, my weekday care giver is here today, and I have finished Breakfast.

Message 985

Yesterday I came home after spending a month in the hospital and nursing home. I am better now, although they never did figure out exactly what was wrong with me. I now have a professional caregiver that comes in 8 hours a day. Yesterday Jason and Julian came in for a few hours also in the afternoon and evening. I made it through the first night home without throwing up any more, and so far this morning I have taken my pills and my Ensure and prune juice OK.
