HALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim slept 10 1/2 hours last night with this new sleeping pill. And today his thinking was much clearer. This was the first full night's sleep he has had in 4 months! He was a little too groggy this a.m.--wanting to go back to bed a lot. So the doctor wants him to try a half of the sleeping pill tonight. We told Tsega, the aide to come back tonight so we can make sure this is not just a fluke. He went to get fitted for his hip brace and although it looks very cumbersome he says it is comfortable. He doesn't have to sleep with it on but says he'd like to try it. It makes him feel secure that his hip will stay in place. I guess any one of us who had his/her hip dislocate 15 times we'd do the same. I know its been one of his big worries. Thank you Jason for giving up most of your day to us yesterday and to all the ROMEO's (Yes, it is "Retired Old Men Eating Out") for bringing the food, beer, soda, but most of all yourselves to Jim at home! Joe, Mike M., Dan, and YJ came as well and I think a good time was had by all. Barbara

This is really great news.
ReplyDeleteWhy not keep the aide for a few days? You must both be exhausted and need to catch up.
WE just returned from a dinner to celebrate our 43 anniversary and it occurs to us how much you have influenced our marriage...for the better. We couldn't ask for better big sister and big brother when it comes to great example of how to love one another. Thanks for all of it! Love always, Susan and John
ReplyDeleteYou ROMEO's rock!! Sounds like you all had a good time. Hope the hip brace and sleeping pills are working out and everyone is getting some well deserved rest. Keep up the pizza parties, Jim, and you'll be back to fighting weight in no time. Always in our thoughts and prayers...Love, Joanne and Sam
