January 26

Judy had a rough night last night.  She was awake several times because of a sore back.  When I visited her this afternoon, her catheter had been removed.  She wears a type of Depends, but the hope is that she will use the washroom.  Of course, she will have to wheel her IV pole to the washroom.  We will see how this arrangement works.  Judy is still on full foods.  She pecks away at the food on her food tray and still receives TPN in the evenings, but I believe they are cutting back on the amount of TPN.  Apparently, her nausea may be caused by having to digest too much nutrient.  Her system is not able to digest as much as before.  In other news, wedding plans are moving along.  We booked the ACT Hall this evening.  I had the pleasure of traveling out to Prairie View School today to see my old colleagues and deliver cookies to them.  For the last three weeks, I have been playing volleyball with my buddies in the Saskatchewan Senior Athletics Association.  Most of the volleyball players are people who I play 60+ slow pitch with in the summer.  Volleyball is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30-11:30 am.  On Friday nights, I am the old timer at hockey and at volleyball, I am the young pup.  Well, I better hit the hay so I can bump, set, carry, tomahawk, and swallow my pride tomorrow at volleyball.
