George hasn't wanted to go outside in three days, so I've been trying to get him to move around inside the house. I managed to get the laundry done, and the trash out but I really do hate the rian. It was mist as I made my way down with the recycling. George has been letting me clean his stoma, but doesn't want the drain sponages. G I was told he doesn't need them if there's no ooze or blood. There was minimual discharge from the stoma, but that was it. So after I cleaned it off, I just left it open to air.

I'm sorry it's raining. Be thankful it isn't snow. I read how much snow they got in Pensacola and other places in the south this morning.

It would hurt the same. I've been hit in the face with snow when I was in DC. If we got even half as much snow, I sure wouldn't be outside.

@kaylachan I'm sure you wouldn't be outside. If you got hit with sleet, I'm sure it hurt. Snow doesn't hurt.

@just4him Snow shouldn't hurt, but It did for me. All I know is it's not something I want to be in. Especially when it has to be to cold to feel properally.

@sallypup Well, George's family hasn't exactly disowned him, they're just far away.

@kaylachan I know where you're coming from. You just do what you got to do. My hubby's family has basically disowned him and neither of us can figure them out and don't want to.

I can't control that. I just have to get him to move every so often. Even if I can't get him to stand, He does get in akward positions on the couch.
