After a nice family dinner together for New Year’s Eve we watched a little tv together and went to bed to end the night like any other. Daniel had a really rough night that almost ended us back at the Emergency Department but we tried really hard to relax and work through very bad chest pains. On the universal pain scale he reported to the on call doctor at about 1:30 a number 7 and as far as heart and chest pain that is a GO directly to the ER. But some calming exercises and giving medicine a chance to work resulted in total relaxation and sleep came around 2:45. I think it was more of a deep heartburn and indigestion that is typical because of the state of his gut right now. His poor intestines are so vulnerable and when he wants to eat he doesn’t limit his meals. He really should eat more small meals all day, but then again so should we all right??? Anyway we eventually slept together sitting up on the sofa which helped a lot but as far as restful, not so much. The dog woke us barking early and then Rob and Matthew were up and getting ready to go skiing by 9. Daniel and I stayed on the couch all morning after finishing morning med rountine and watched the Rose Bowl Parade and went back to sleep. After nap Daniel was ready for a full day of college football. My cleaning woman called to tell me she is sick and is afraid to come to the house so I got right to deep cleaning bathrooms and changing sheets. I typically wash the floor every other day anyway so no big deal to do it again today. Today I also got a chance to clean another cabinet and another corner of a room. It amazes me that it never ends and there is always more to go through. We bit the bullet today and I went and bought a large piece of exercise equiptment. I feel that Daniel has settled into a pattern of inactivity and it is not a good thing. With the weather being cold out now it is difficult for us to get outside and he is very hesitant to go walk at the mall before they open. I am convinced if he doesn’t recondition his body he will not get better. We will put this large new piece of furniture in Matthew’s old bedroom which was going to become our master bedroom extension. This of course was the plan as we moved him into the basement but NOW we can’t have and construction or projects like this for another year so see how it all works out. Priorities have changed and I take this as a sign that it is a chance for our whole family to get into a bit better shape. I hope we can all take advantage of this new opportunity that is now a built in feature staring us in the face. Funny how it comes at the new year when we all make that same silly resolution.
Daniel and I ended up having a fun day and evening together having dinner and renting a very funny movie together and after finishing all night time IV meds actually ended up getting to bed at a decent hour. At least I did. I hope we both get a restful sleep and Rob and Matthew are equally enjoying each other’s company. Tomorrow we will have a day together at home as well but Daniel has already informed me that he has reserved the day for some football marathon something or other (I know shocker) He does not have his radio show so he will watch his marathon and I will attack another job at home. Maybe the basement, that is a full days work. I better go start resting up.
