A day full of surprises.

Today is Sunday and also race season. George had mentioned to me about the races so I found them for him. I decided to take advantage, and took a bath and washed my hair. Normally I wait until George goes to bed to do things like that, but I knew he'd be glued to the t.v. for about four hours. During that time he came to visit me in the bathroom, and let me get my hair washed.
Later, a few hours ago, not even, when it came time for me to get him something to eat to take his nighttime pill, he actually asked me to do his final tube feed for the night. I didn't quite get what he was saying (he kept saying chicken) but he had his tube out and ready for me. His tube was being tricky, but pushing his food through with a plunger seemed to help push his formula through, a trick you can use if you think a tube might be getting clogged. And, it helped. His tube flushed real well after.
He also seems to be staying up and going to bed about the time he used to before the stroke.

I hope you two are always fine. Do some exercise to make you fit and healthy at least 3 times a week.

I don't take a single day for granted. I love it. Hell, he's wanting to get going to the VA.

@just4him He is. Funny, that outing made time go by so quickly. It's time for his next tube feed.

Sounds like a good day! Finding the races, taking a bath, and helping George with his routine - you did great! Plus, it's awesome to see his sleep getting back on track. If you ever have any questions about his care, don't hesitate to ask a doctor or nurse.

@RebeccasFarm I seem to know how to do that in spades.

I've done enough of that already. I am sure I pissed someone off when he was hospitalized.

Nascar cup series. Although he will watch the trucks and bush cars sometimes, too.
