9:41a.m. I read Chapter 5 inp The Drawing of the Three. I finished it around nine and went to sleep. Again I didn’t sleep well because of nightmares and muscle spasms. The spasms were terrible coming one right after another.i woke up early this morning. I waited for the aides to come and get me out of bed. They let me sleep in until 6.

I felt like a train wreck when they got me in !y wheelchair. I started to have muscle spasms again.i was sleeping in my chair when one hit me. It was the worst ever and I screwed out in pain. On a pain scale of one to five the pain level was a five. I was one miserable old fart until breakfast Breakfast was pretty good consisting of sausage paddies and French toast casserole.

I chatted with Chococolatechip on ! Messenger. She filled me on on a serious physical problem that recently developed. As Chococolatechip was telling me this I thought poor woman whatl else can go wrong? Then she told me a juicy story about some tenants in the building. Chococolatechip said I’m boring because I don’t have gossip to share. I said I can tell you all about the Dark Tower. She said no thanks.

I’m at the Coffee Social now. I had a second cup this morning. I am still suffering from arthritis but feeling a bit better. At least the coffee helps with my mood. I’m going to read my book The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King.

10:57a.m. I’m back in my room. I didn’t have a good time at the Coffee Social. I had one spasm after another. Also had a lot of inconsistent episodes. I didn’t want to stay there smelling like urine so I left. I got changed when I got to my room. I’m in bed for the day now. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to get out of bed.

3:47p.m. I read until lunch. Lunch was good but I got very bloated. I threw up. Chatted with Chococolatechip after I ate Then I got muscle spasms again. They were very painful . I fell asleep after our chat. I slept until the nurse came with meds. I got Mylanta, carafe and Tylenol. I hope these meds help with the spasms. They were killing me.

6:18p.m. The Tylenol helped with the muscle spasms. I was a le to do some reading . I also talked to Chocolatechip. She had an early appointment with her foot doctor. She went to bed early. I read The Drawing of the Three until supper. I had two baloney and cheese sandwiches. Supper kind of sucked.

I’m making slow progress in my book. But I am making some progress. It is an interesting story with a complicated plot. I am enjoying every page. I’m a little over halfway through it. I hope to finish this story in a few days. Next up is the third volume in the Dark Tower series, The Waste Lands

I shouldn’t of eaten supper. I’m very painfully bloated. Unfortunately I have to eat. As much as I’d like I can’t stop eating completely. I used to enjoy a good meal and always had an appetite.But no more because I end up getting sick whenever food goes down my mouth. On a scale of one to five pain level is a three right now.

I talked with Chocolatechip. She slept for about an hour and woke up hungry. She was fixing something to eat. I said isn’t as it good to have food on hand. It is the middle of the month and she had plenty of food left. She might not have to visit the Urban Mission this month provided she doesn’t give any to Eddie the Moocher.

It is after seven. I’m going to read some more. Sunday is shower night. I hope to read until I get a much needed shower then get some sleep.

9:10p.m. I got my shower. I feel very good now. There is nothing like a hot shower ,unless it is a hot coffee, to make a guy feel good all over. Trouble is I’m wide awake. I feel so good I don’t want to sleep. I’m on an interesting part of my book so I think I will go read.
