I apologize for the mistake in yesterday's date.  That's the kind of error I have to get use to.

it was 18° this morning.  Br-r-r-r-r!  No new snow came with it.  Bill reminded me of the 4-5
 inches we would get when we moved to the mountains of Southern Colorado.  He also reminded me
 that we were younger.  He never misses a chance to remind me of that.

Connor and his girlfriend, Taylor, came for Thanksgiving break.  It was good to see both of them.  She has a dog named Buckeye.  He came, too.

Today it is snowing.  Yippy, Skippy!  It is a good thing.  We really need the moisture.  We aren't getting a lot, but anything is better than nothing in my book.  But not for Bill.   To him, SNOW is a four letter word of the worst kind.  Every time I say it he threatens to wash my mouth out..................with chocolate.  That's OK with me!!!!!!  

Michelle knows what to fix for dinner.  Tonight we had chili and cornbread.  It was really good.  She is a good cook and we are well fed.

We had 4 inches of snow today and it is still comng down..

We have a friend, Gale, who can type Hunt and Peck style faster than most people can type.  Maybe I need lessons from him.  Don't ask JP about Gale's typing skills.  All he will say is "Oh, yeah.  He was the guy who threw my fishing line out in the middle of the river and I never got it back."  It was a very funny story, but too long to tell here.  Use your imagination from the eyes of a 10 year old.

Today was a throw away day as we call it.  I slept most of the time.  Usually, the next day is better.  Bill and I both hope so.

This was a busy day for the Geezer and his sidekick.  While I was at the PT, Bill tried to get me another doctor.  No luck. 

The new doctor is a neurologists who will try to determine if I have had a stroke.   I told Michelle I had never been to a funny farm before.  She said, what do you mean, Mom.  I  was raised in a funny farm,by you.  I guess she had me there.

Typing is proving to  be hard for me, so I will be writing short blogs until I get better at it.

November 14 - Loveland, Colorado

Here is yesterday's blog attempt:

Well, this is old "sickie" typing for the first time in a long time I have even tried.  My last attempt  was after my last episode with my heart.  It really did a number on my mental status.  I though if I tried getting back to my journal it might might help.  We'll see.  Please excuse any glaring mistakes.
Meredith has been helping me relearn.  If the next time you see her and she has no hair it is my fault. I have pushed her to the limit of her endurance.

I want to thank Lori for taking my place.  It was one more thing added to her busy schedule and I really appreciate it.

And I also thank all of you who encouraged me in my attempts toward recovery.  It has been a struggle, and I still have a ways to go.

This afternoon, Meredith and I watch the Denver Broncos beat the N. O. saints.  It was a good game, especally since the Broncos won. 

Bill came when the NASCAR was over. We had dinner with Meredith and Dwaine.

Today..... Bill made french toast for breakfast. It was so goo that it warranted a nap. I had blood work done and went to the bank. After the errands we went to Arby's and got lunch. Whenever the Broncos make 2 touchdowns in a game you can get their regular sandwich for $1 instead of $3. We love being in Broncos Country!! It wasn't In-N-Out but it is a decent substitute.

Mom had a busy day today.  Natalia came for breakfast this morning at Cracker Barrel.  Physical therapy this morning and the heart specialist this afternoon.     PT was good, she got dizzy towards the end.  Her heart doctor says that her heart is in good shape.   Great news, but it leaves us with more questions.

Mom had a surprise visitor today......me!!  While Michelle took her for PT, Dad made a quick trip to the airport.  She was very surprised when I came out of the house to help her get out of the car.   She said, "You're here!  Where is Brent?"   Alas, I was the only surprise guest, but she seemed happy.  We went to lunch at Arby's,  she ate really well.  After that it was back to the house to get Dad.  All three of us trooped over to the medical center to get some lab work done on mom.

The afternoon was spent resting and sitting on the deck soaking up the sun.  Michelle made angel hair pasta for dinner.  I think that we all slept soundly after a busy day.
