READ THE LABELS, AVOID UNPRONOUNCEABLE ITEMS

This is what I call a filler week.  She had to come up with 52 changes.  Obviously we need to read the food ingredient list on the labels.  Obviously we should avoid the chemicals and sodiums and sugars.  This is a wasted week.

I always had a secret desire that I have never talked much about.  Its because this desire cannot come to fruition unless I am alone…not travelling, not taking time from my bestest buddy in the world, staying in one place for a dependable amount of time etc….

I have always wanted to work in a hospice…palliative care.  Its something I instinctively feel I can do and do well.  It involves taking the hospice care course which seems to run every few weeks.  And in the ward with Spod I think I am getting a hint of what it might be like!

Spod is easy.  He needs help now and then to get up to the john, but other than that he just sleeps.  But the other guys in the room need blankets, beds raised, bottles of pop opened, books found, phone calls made (on my cell).  Now and then Spod yells out, "Hey! She's my wife!"  But he doesn't mind.  I was telling Cookie on the phone about this and she said it was good practice!!

They took 6 litres of fluid out of Spod's abdomen today.  His tummy is much flatter and he looks so skinny!  He was pretty cranky today.  I think he is looking forward to getting out of there.  I am still not sure what is what…things are always changing.

Anyway, I am off to bed.  I shall report more tomorrow!  TTYL
