Procedure

Leon's Colonoscopy is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 2nd at 6:30 in the morning. He is scared about what they're going to find. I am just anxious to find out what it is. He was supposed to tell me when he bleeds but, never did. So I asked him the other day if he has had any more bleeds and he says, "oh yes". I reminded him he was supposed to let me know when these occur, but he looked at me like I was crazy. Well, I'm feeelin' a little crazy now.

Our Primary Dr said if it is Colon Cancer they will do nothing. It would be too invasive and complicated for what he has already. Gee, the guy can't catch a break.

It has been an ok week so far though. His memory is getting real bad, worse say, from a week ago. Man, he has gotten bad. But, I get up each day and just go with it. If he's in a good mood or not struggling so much with his memory, we laugh and joke. If he struggles and I see frustration, I put my seat belt on and prepare for the day. You just never know.

There is some preparation for this Colonoscopy. He can have nothing to eat the day before, only liquids and this stuff he has to drink. I told him he is going to have severe loose stool, be hungry and just plain feel lousy. I also warned him that he IS NOT to blame me for this. He just looked at me funny and I said, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THIS IS NOT MY FAULT". I now am reminding him every day. He blames me for everything and I said this will not be allowed. So, we'll see.

Jack had a job interview at Dion's Pizza. He is hoping to get the job. I told him he will have to pay me for the difference I am now paying in car insurance as I just added him to my policy. Because he gets good grades, I was able to get a discount, but with him being 16 and a new driver, yikes!!!!! He agreed to pay the difference. Said he also wants to open up a Savings Acct to save for a car. I told him what a great idea. Then he said he wants a Debit Card for the savings acct. Ah, no!!! He's young, but, no debit card. I can just see it now................................

As for me, just getting through each day. I love it at night when Leon's asleep and I can watch my TV without interruptions and just breathe. Kind of like getting the baby FINALLY to sleep so I can collapse on the couch. I cherish those times, each and every night.

Just another day in my life. And what a life it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
