Where are we today?
Stratford, Ontario
George had a good sleep last night. We both did. The pain pump arrived at 10:30 last night. He will receive little bits of medication every 5-6 minutes. The pump is attached to his port where they have been administering his pain meds. He was very comfortable all night.
When he got up about 8, he wanted a scrambled egg, toast, orange juice and milk. To him, it seemed to take a long time to come, so he said to me "has the chicken died" and "did the chicken drown". The last comment was because we are getting a lot of rain today.
Then, about 11 today, he wanted a beer. I told him it was too early for that and agreed to wait until 2. A friend of ours texted me this morning wondering how George was doing. I told him the comment about the beer. He wondered how I could tell George that he couldn't have one until 2 to a face that George has. George got a laugh out of that and picture that came along with it.
George didn't want what was for lunch today, but his son was coming for a visit and brought his Dad 2 small hamburgers from McDonald's, another craving.
When Ken arrived, he gave George a card that our granddaughter made for her grandfather.

Later daughter Jess and family arrived. It was great to see the kids. George started talking about the RV and the work that has been done to it. Great over view.

"Did the chicken drown" Well George you got an honest laugh out of me when I read that tonight. With that appetite of yours I think they are going to have to bring in a whole flock of chickens. Our thoughts are with both you and Suzi.
ReplyDeleteROFL - I'm with Al "Did the chicken drown?" George's wit and humor show thru his hunger.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, Suzie. Praying for continued restful, painless times ... 'One Day at a Time'.
I'm still here reading every day and sending prayers and healing thoughts.
ReplyDeletePraying the pump keeps George's pain under control.
ReplyDeleteGlad the family was able to visit.
It's about time.
Glad you both had a good night,the pain pump will help a lot. Nice to see you smiling, and enjoying visiting with your family.Hugs
ReplyDeleteGood to hear George slept well and the increase in meds is helping to keep the pain away. Nice visits today for the family.
ReplyDeletePrayers for You Suzie and of course George! Keep smiling George. One Day At A Time
The pain pump will work wonders, glad you both were able to sleep well. Nice to have family visit and I'm sure the granddaughter perks things up just being young and cute. I too had a chuckle about the chicken. Keep smiling George.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear George is feeling little more like his old self again. Lots of visitors to keep him occupied and he is lucky to have you by his side, Suzie.

ReplyDeleteI am catching up on your blog and was concerned after reading the prior one.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear he is once again pain free and I am sure the visit from family helped a lot. Not to mention having you by his side.
Take care of yourself as well Suzie, I personally know the toll it takes being a caregiver for a loved one. Sending you both Cyber hugs.
Good report from what appears to have been a good day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear he had better day and the pain was controlled. I'm sure that helps you a lot too. Prayers sent for the both.
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the chicken!! Any less-pain day is a good day. Granddaughter surely makes you both smile!
ReplyDeleteVery nice to have all the family visit that did! Your little granddaughter is just too adorable, quite the charmer! I'm glad George had a pain free day and they are figuring something out. That's cute he wanted a beer at 11! It would be hard to turn down though, good for you Suzie! Someone's got to keep him in line LOL. Prayers and hugs for you both!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good nights sleep and the pain is under better control. I agree with Suzie about 11 am being a bit early for a beer! but I could enjoy a champagne at breakfast occasionally. Thinking of you both.
