I improved a lot yesterday . . . after my PCP allowed me to refill my Vicodin ahead of schedule. Plus my pdoc ordered me a refill on Ritalin - which I'ld been out of. Taking them made quite a difference.

Thanks, Raindrop. Yes, I have hung in here for quite a good while. He would have gone to a facility by 2014, if not sooner (2012), were it not for me. That's a big hunk of my life. His daughter who's way far from us, told me yesterday to seriously consider the n. home option.

Today I feel so good. But I have to see if I can sustain that. My right arm is bad this a.m. He's been demanding since 2:30 a.m. to be gotten out of bed. I did just get him up @ 6:30 a.m. Now I go back to bed.
