Good Morning and post holiday depression is verboten.

Talked to broke back Bob fer Christimas. Only a couple of minutes then he had to go back to sleep. Was really proud that he sat up and went thru his emails for an hour. Says he is mostly sleeping off and on. Told him after a couple of weeks on pain killers for my foot I couldn't sleep at all. Spent all my down time watching TV and playing iPod games. That is why I bought my 65in TV with internet and the iPod mini.

He still sounds pretty drugged up. The thing I noticed was he did not complain. Nothing about the pain and nothing about not having any money, or that his 2 kids won't talk to him. That was different. Especially about his kids it being a holiday. His only concern was that he only had 4 more days of pain killers and did not have a doctors appointment with his regular doctor for another month. Told him to call the doctor's office of the doctor whose name is on his prescriptions (the surgeon) and don't let the person that answers the phone tell him they can't extend his prescription, that he wants to talk to the doctor. And pharmacies will deliver. And to start calling today! Said I went thru similar when I had gut surgery and my foot both.

Nephew had power problems where he built his home. For gas service he had a propane tank. It was under ground and had a filler at his gate. On the back of his property he had a shed with a propane powered generator system. The power was always going off and on and his house never even noticed. Had a couple of times this weekend the power when off around me.

The nurse taking care of the lady behind me called to see if I had power. Since I did she asked if the oxygen tanks got to low could they run a extension cord to my house. Told her to just call and I would hang a cord over the fence. Evidently the power did not stay off long enough for her to get low on oxygen.
