Today was not too bad.Pastor Ed Hird called and John was able to talk to him on the phone for awhile.
It was the Christmas dinner at the condo tonight and I was very encouraged when John said he felt well enough to attend. His strength has weakened considerably in the last few weeks so he could not walk that far with his walker, but I pushed him and we made it OK. By the time grace was said, he had to come back home as he was beginning to feel quite miserable. Gus helped me get him home and settled and then we went back and had a beautiful Christmas supper. I brought up some nice chiffon style dessert for John to have when I got home (which is all he would have been able to eat if he had stayed) but he missed the fellowship. I only stayed for the supper but not the Christmas entertainment that followed.
John is experiencing more pain these days - namely in his feet, now his hands, and his knees..
It may be neuropaphy from the diabetes but that is only a guess not a diagnosis.
It is the Christmas carol night at Gateway tomorrow night but I do not see us being able to go because John's evenings are not good at this time. I am going over to Gateway to work in the office and help Margie tomorrow afternoon and Gus will come and stay with John so I can do that.
I also talked to the Home Care worker and the neurologist's nurse today. We will have to see if either can offer any solutions for us at this time.
One thumbs up for the day and one thumbs down for the evening.
