It has been an interesting week. Leland came down with the stomach flu Sunday night/Monday morning, and spent a miserable night up vomiting every two hours. He was sick all day on Monday with the usual stomach pains and inability to eat that we all had with the addition of a fever of 100.5. About the time I was ready to take him to the ER, he sat up and asked for some applesauce and was feeling better. Tuesday was a quiet day and Wednesday we got the Christmas things taken down and put way and I went to Soup Kitchen to help out. Leland still did not quite feel up to going out and stayed home. We planned on going to The Dalles to shop on Thursday, but I woke up sick with that same stomach flu for the 2nd time in a week!
I was feeling better enough by this morning I had almost decided to go to church. I was drying myself off after my shower, and suddenly my lower back locked up in a spasm which made me freeze and have to call Leland to help me dress and get to the couch. He stayed home with me and has been waiting on me hand and foot. Ibuprophen, ice and my mom's old walker we had stored in the garage are my friends today-after Leland of course. Hopefully this is a spasm which will correct itself in a short time.
Leland continues to bandage his fingernails, his hair is growing out more each day, and he is doing well at the moment-is out in the kitchen fixing our lunch. A real labor of love for him-as well as an act of desperation : ).
It is a beautiful cold day, low of 14 last night and up to 28 right now at 1pm with blue sky and sunshine.
