ATTEMPTING NORMALLCY


SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2011 11:34 AM, PST

We are trying to bring in some semblance of a normal life.  We still need to deal with police reports, insurance adjusters, medications of all kinds and making a living. It's nice to know that there IS a light at the end of this particular tunnel.  Not the kind you "go towards" (where your never seen again Pre-2nd Coming). It's the kind that gives you hope that there are sunnier, happier days around the bend.

Today Mike has a Bro-Date.  He's trepidacious about leaving his re-discovered comfort zone (the couch) and entering out into the Cold Cruel World without me. I'll trust that Larry Sewell can take good care of him for an hour or two. He just needs to pretend it's one of his grandkids.

Advice for the Care and Feeding of Mike Doyle:

1)  If he says he has to go potty...DO NOT MAKE HIM WAIT!!!  He means it and you DO NOT want that mess on your hands!
2) If he's hungry and insists on being fed, please note that he is temporarily "allergic" to beans.  Less internal bowels and intestines (which were recently EXTERNAL) cause MORE propulsion, not less.
3) Don't chastise him for eating too much candy.  It's not candy, it's MEDS. 
4) Enjoy any smile that may appear on his face. Give him encouragement for this behavior. We want to see it become a habit.
 
Love to all,
Lorrie
