Good morning everyone,
It's 5:45 PDT and I had a quiet and uneventful night. I do know I coughed a lot because I have an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I have been able to wear my Passey Muir Valve for nearly a full day now. It makes life so much easier and I do not have to worry about a stray piece of this or that getting sucked into my Tract tube and blocking it up.
This morning I'm tired but feeling just a little bit better than yesterday. Well Duh! you say. I'm speaking in the broader sense of my well being. This morning when I had to yawn there was almost no pain in my throat. Yesterday it was very painful to yawn. It's these little things that are accumulating and making me feel better and stronger.
This will be a very short post as I would like to grab some more ZZZZZZZZ's before Brock wakes up. Yesterday I felt hungry, imagine that, I was hungry. It has been a long time since I've felt that HUNGER. Brock did not have to berate me all day about eat this Dad, eat that as he so often has to. Even my food tube feedings were manageable.
Bye for now, as usual look for more later.
Love, hugs and good wishes to everyone.
Rick

Oh Rick my dear:
Did you ever think that I would be at a loss for words...........imagine that. I'm trying to write something witty here and my mind is drawing blanks. You must be elated that day by day there is improvement and light at the end of the tunnel on a daily basis and of course all along you have had far more hope than imagineable. I spoke to Brock on the phone when you first went to Surrey Memorial and I told him then how proud you would be of your son for taking such good care of you Rick! You have really had a bumpy ride lumpy (hey that rhymes). As you said yourself, it's the small things that count.
Here is a quote that I feel is very fitting:
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
You have kicked fear on it's ass Rick!
Keep up the good work.
