Roger continues his upward climb up the “getting better and better each day” ladder.  It’s a wonderful thing to witness.

Monday started off with him shaving himself, washing his own hair over the kitchen sink and dressing himself for our bi-weekly trip to give blood.  He was so pleased that he actually was wearing a pair of jeans (size 30) for the first time in almost a year.  Wow, huh? As you will see from the photo, he’ s looking more like his ole’ self each day. 

We made the short hop over to the lab for the blood work which is required each Monday and Thursday to check the liver levels.  From the outside, it appears that he’s doing well on all counts. The results of the test take about 24 hours so we shall see.  The doctors will then adjust the medications according to the results.

I brought him back home for the rest of the day.  I had to go to work so he was “on his own” for part of the day.  He was fine.  He’s walking so well with a cane that he’s able to fix his own breakfast and lunch.  Just navigating the house has become a breeze for him.  It’s so good to see him walking unassisted.

John Wilson stopped by for part of the afternoon to chat and see Roger in his home environment instead of that hospital bed and to bring him a new hat with a Powercat on the front. It has flashing lights around the logo.  He was pretty proud of that and couldn’t wait to show me when I arrived home.

We may venture out to the Mall today just to do a little light Christmas shopping without the weekend crowds. Mostly, get him out to see what’s going on. 

SO MANY CHOICES

WHAT A GREAT BURGER!!

On Friday of last week, we decided to have lunch out.  We chose a little bar and grill called Blue Moon.  It was fun to just sit and have lunch together but the best part was watching him check out the menu and then watching him devour his Blue Cheese Burger and fries….At this rate, he should gain about 10 lbs per week. 

LOVE THOSE ZEROS!!

Thanks to Brad and Lee Lowell, Concordia, KS for sending Roger a whole package of Zero bars.  He isn’t sharing either…Love you guys, thanks so much!!
