9:34a.m.I had another night of nightmares. But I received good care. The aides came in twice to change me. Also I didn’t have very many muscle spasms. I must of slept some because the aides got me up at five this morning. I had a good one. She cleaned me up, changed my briefs, got me dressed and into my wheelchair. So except for the nightmares my night was good.

I was still tired when I got up so I slept in my wheelchair. I woke up around 6:30 and called Chocolatschip. She said she had a slight fever and had a bout of diarrhea. But she seemed in good spirits. We talked for a half hour about her doctor’s appointments. Chococolatechip has so many I don’t know how she keeps up with them. We said goodbye around the time they served drinks and breakfast.

I had pancakes and ham for breakfast. It was pretty good. I also had two coffees but no orange juice. Coffee and a good breakfast finally woke me up. I read in my book The Drawing of the Three for about an hour. Then it was time for the Coffee Social

I’m at the social now. I already had my third cup of coffee for the day. I’m feeling pretty chipper right now. Also, I’m not havig too much trouble with arthritis except for my right shoulder . Despite that I’m having a go.

1:06 p.m. I stayed at the social for an hour then made it back to my room. I began reading The Drawing of the Three. I read a very interesting chapter in my book. I read a lot for about ninety minutes. I called Chocolatschip. She was outside for awhile talking to people. Chococolatechip said she had a nice time. I was glad for her. We talked until she wanted to get some lunch.

I enjoyed my lunch. I had fish, potato wedges, a dinner roll and a cup of mixed fruit for desert. Lunch was delicious. Best part was I didn’t get sick or bloated I also had a fruit punch and a cup of coffee This makes four coffees today.

I’m having a great day so far. I am getting care in timely matter. I also had two good meals that didn’t make me sick. Plus I had plenty of coffee. Beth still I’m not experiencing arthritis pain or muscle spasms. Because of this I’m in a pretty good mood. Life is good.

6:16p.m. I did a lot of reading in my book The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King. I also talked with Chococolatechip for a long time. And, I didn’t have arthritis pain and only a few muscle spasms. I haf a good dinner of macaroni and cheese. All of these factors added up to a great day

Chococolatechip went to bed early. She had a doctor’s appointment for her monthly B12 shot Also she got some good news for a change. Chococolatechip was reimbursed by the Walter Drake catalog for an unauthorized charge on her debit card. Then she said she ended up not making chili. She just did not feel up to it. She said Sunday might be a good day for chili. We talked briefly until they served supper.

I hope to do more reading tonight. I really got into The Drawing of the Three. Once again I got lost in the world of the Dark Tower This is a fascinating story in my humble opinion. I can’t get enough of it. So it is back tommy book until I fall asleep.
