Money to burn.
Posted 6 hours ago
Brian has some money set aside and he feels it is just in his way and something needs to be done about it. I suggested that he could maybe trade it for a new pair of shoes for dad, or maybe invest it something that would help put food on the table like a new fishing rod. Or, and he just shuddered at the thought, save it for a rainy day. He didn't like any of my suggestions. And...today it's raining.
No, he thought it would be best to invest it in the new video game that came out or maybe a couple of toys. I tried.
So, if he feels up to it, I'm going to take him shopping for that new game he just can't live without.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid he won't feel up to it. The last couple of nights have been rough. His pain levels have been so high that he can't get to sleep until he just wears himself out. He begs me for more pain meds to dull the pain but there just isn't anything else we can do. The night before last he actually fell asleep sitting straight up, with his head hanging, and the lamp and TV on.
Once he gets to sleep he does pretty good, only waking up once or twice needing some meds and then he goes right back to sleep. Then he will usually sleep until around 11am or so.
Except for the last couple of days Brian has done pretty good. Sunday, he sat outside on the deck for about 30 minutes while Carol raked leaves in the backyard and he sat in the living room a couple of times and played his video games for short periods. He seemed to be doing much better. Hopefully he'll feel like getting out today.
I really could use a new fishing rod you know.
Thanks for praying for us,
Doug, Carol and Brian
