We are having a busy time of it, going to our house in Chateauguay, to make sure we have things given to the right people and bringing home what we want.  Fortunately, Deb, our homecare worker and friend has found many thing she wants there, so that's great.  Managed to get stuff to the St. Vincent de Paul, check out Communitaire Chateauguay to pick up what's left - all this while Mac is saying can't we just go, what do we care - but now i'm seeing why ... he really is tired and what is more coughing....he could hardly stand up at 8;30 p.m. and was practically asleep on his feet.  So once we got him in bed, he said, 'now i feel better...so now I feel worse, as I'm hoping he is not getting anything - especially not the flu..as he refused to take his flu shot..which is a first..he always took it before.  That's one  of the problems with living in a seniors residence where many of he people are not in tip top shape...and ambulances come and go....

This is what i wrote to put in my blog yesterday....

well another downer -another friend here not well.... i mentioned last night to my friend Muriel in transition room, that Dec 1 i would bring her a little gift , a small table wreath with a candle in the middle, and when we get together in the evening for approx 15 - 30 min before they put her to bed, we will feel christmassy talking by candle light.  This afternoon went down to check her out and tell her the candle light conversations would begin monday night as we would probably get home too late from the birthday party for daughter gaye. -

 

Was so sad, to fine she is back in hospital that makes 3 x in 4 weeks....she has tummy prblms can't seem to hold down her food....she has pains constantly - rheumatoid arthritis,  can hardly scratch her ear or move her hands- sleeps with her knees up as she can't put them straight...it's awful. but  her mind is great and lovely...and i'm praying that she will be well, but 87 and so many health problems it's an uphill battle for her.

 

So here it is the night we were to have our candlelight conversation...well it probably,would not have taken place anyway, with Mac  so tired...but who knows...he hates it if i'm doing something he can't really partake in, like playing a dice and card game - which i did at 6;30 p.m.  i try to get him involved as its a very simple game..but no way, he just sat and sulked..and then at 7:30 when we left he just steadily went into sleepy mode until he finally got in bed.  saying I'm so happy to be with you, don't leave me, i feel safe when  you are here...i said i haven't been away from you for one minute all day.  You had supper with our friends in the dining room, had a great time, and we are now in our apartment...so relax and enjoy your bed.  he said, yes i sure will...are you coming to bed,

in a bit i replied....just going to answer emails but forget that....

 I'm kind of tired now as well so guess i'll take my book in there and join him, g'nite.....
