I would give a weekend update. We had visitors, Janette's family on a couple different occasions. Friday her sister Joyce and Mike are brother-in-law came over for pizza Friday night. As we were talking Atlas was a little surprised that he was in the center of attention. So he grabbed his new toy which I thought was an otter but I've been told it's a beaver, he flipped it around in the air and then jumped on top of it. He added that is involved and lifted it up and shook it. It was as if he was saying "look at me, look at me, see how much fun I am!"
Eventually someone threw it down the hall for him to patch and he was a happy camper.
Now much on Saturday this time of a rest day for both of us. My wife at a back spasm and took some muscle relaxers and then slept pretty much the entire day. Matt came over so we did a few things like let the dog out and give me my afternoon set of pills.
Sunday was a surprise engagement for my one who lives in Guttenberg. I didn't go for my wife and her sister went long with her mom and aunt. It was vineyard near their. The weather report and not being wrong because it said it would be close to 90. It was in the low 80s so is more comfortable than anyone thought. Matt came over to take care of me, babysit me.
We ended up taking Atlas to the dog park because it was breezy and in the low 80s so I can tolerate it. He loves the dog park but we don't know why because you really doesn't interact with the other dogs. He seems to really like it when they try to get the ball away from him or just in buyer that he has a great toy. He seemed to make friends with a poodle type dog. She wouldn't chase it but she was waiting for him when he got back and ran around him like he was some big cool guy.
So it was a pretty nice weekend overall. It got to enjoy family, pizza, resting and going to the dog park. I've been using my B PAP machine. It's kind of strange because when my wife comes to bad she turns on an LED that I bought so that my face is lit up so I can use my smile mouse. It sort of works even when I have my breathing nose connection on. I call my hose knows and I feel like an elephant. I can turn the pages on my Kindle book this way. For some strange reason though it seems to work for quite a while and then all of a sudden just quit working and I can't turn the pages. At this point I end up just closing my eyes and going to sleep eventually. It drives the engineer in me a little crazy because it works and then it stops and I can't figure out why and fix it. To me it should work the same as long as nothing changes but this just stops working. Maybe someday I'll figure this out.
So I wanted to report a little bit about my breathing machine. It does rest my diaphragm and I'm able to cough up the phlegm that accumulates overnight. This really helps because I used to not have enough breath to clear my lungs. I so run out of breath in the evenings as far as talking. I could try more time on the machine but I hate to do it when my wife is at work. Maybe I will gain more confidence in as we progress.
Thank you again for reading my blog. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for me and mine.
