Mike told his Silver Sneakers class that he was going to bring pictures of his colonoscopy for show n' tell. I told him I'm sure they are just thrilled. I teased him and told him to ask the doctor to look for my keys while his in there since I haven't been able to find them for a month or two. Ron said they just need to look for Mike's head!
Mike's doing OK but his memory is just completely gone. We have the exact same conversations with him all day long. He got the idea that the only way people can access 911 is by texting and he doesn't know how to text. I have told him over and over that texting is just an additional service that is available and it doesn't change anything about the current system. I don't know how long it will take before he can understand or remember what I've told him.
I worry sometimes that he shouldn't be living alone but we are in constant contact with him and check on him every day. But...sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough.
But tonight we will celebrate Ron's birthday and relish in the fact that in spite of cancer he is here to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh....speaking of birthdays....ok well, birthday suits to be exact. I've decided that my new diet strategy is I will be consuming all my meals from now on while buck naked in front of a full length mirror. Now, that should be the best appetite depressant I can find.

What a unique new diet technique. Le me know if it works - maybe I will try it!
That is too funny. I think that if I had my meals while naked in front of a mirror, I would definitely lose my appetite. Let us know how this works out for you.
