Marge is spending 22 hrs. aday in bed.

Yesterday, Dec. 18, Deb uncovered the start of a bed sore. I guess the
continuation of the slow down hill slide.
I'll try to keep up better here.

slow. slow going

Marge and I are both facing different paths to the same ending. Marge is
sleeping up to 22 hrs a night, but can't carry on much of a conversation. My loss is mostly physical. Walking across a room is almost beyond me.
I do want to see the end results of the current political games.
As you know if you have followed my blog, I am an ardent republican, while my wonderful daughter is an equally ardent democrat.
My choice would be Romney pres, and Gingrich vp, but I can't see that happening. I'll try to clarify my thoughts soon.

It's slow, but Marge contiues to fail. I keep remembering good things from over the years, I'll try to post some shortly.

88 wow !

Today, 9 14 23, is my birthday in a 4 family flat owned by my grandmother in Detroit, next door to Gar Wood.
Marge is slowly going farther downhill. Hospice is fully involved now, so that will tell you more than I can. She spends about 20 hrs a day in bed most days. While I still have a brain that mostly works, my physical strength is fast disappearing. So I spend most of the time dosing and readimg from my i-pad. Any activity, like taking a shower even, leaves me exhausted!!
However, looking back we've had a great life. I'll try to post some thoughts soon, including some political thoughts.

A scare yesterday!

I got Marge to the bathroom in her wheel chair. When the trip was over, I couldnt get her back in the chair.  We ended up with her on the floor. and try as I would, I could not get her off the floor and in the chair. After struggling for over an hour, I gave up and called Deb at her office. She arrived in about 10 mins., and got us squared away in nothing flat This was a thourghly frightening episdode. It made me very aware of how far we have failed physically                             !

same old, same old

Marge stays about the same. Slow downhill. In a re-evaluation,that was the result. Call us again when there's a change.
Oh yes, Sat. night I had a slight stroke, a TIA.
Spent tbe weekend in the hospital,but no permament damage.
Also known as "getting a little older"
Political thought. Maybe high testosteran levels trigger both a need for rape,
and a surge of political aims.
Witness our ex cal. governor, and France's nearly president.
Anyway, it's "same old,same old" for Marge and me.
