Sorry I dd not post last night.     The evening was very difficult and it just did not work. 

Richard and Brenda were with us until about 11AM or so so we had more visiting time and a good breakfast before they left.   Richard put the storm door in the front for us.   I am so grateful as it was very cold today.

The afternoon was quiet, though Dick has been coughing a lot and seemed to be having trouble concentrating.  Heather came at 6:30PM and I went and did some shopping then drove over to Mother's to see how she is doing.

She is really tired and I stayed until her caregiver came to ask for some help that Mom was concerned about.   I was pleased with the response and the concern of her caregiver.

I got home shortly after 8PM.  Heather was putting Dick to bed.    That worked all right but the night was difficult.    I had to get him up in the middle of the night to sit in his chair.   I catch naps between the problems.    Last night the cough medicine finally helped with the coughing at and after sitting up for a couple of hours, the pain in his legs stopped.

We had a pretty good morning but the coughing was rough after lunch.   His sugar level was off too.  I called for advice to Aurora but Dick refused to go in.    The doctor said that he should be OK until Monday.  

Tonight I helped him to bed at about 7PM because he is in such pain in his legs.    He seems to be settled so I plan on going to bed soon also.    I am really in need of sleep.

I appreciate all the prayers and concern that you all have for my sweetheart.    I just feel so helpless sometimes and hope you don't mind my venting.
