Eating problems.  The most recent blood test showed her as being in great condition. Outlive me without a doubt.  Even though her eating habits leave much to be desired.  When I cook her breakfast I would at least like for her to eat it.  So when she gets up and starts eating crackers other things before I get it ready I take a dim view of this.  Sometimes she will eat a small amount of butter,  or dip out a bit of jam, I don't want this of course because if I take the time to make something such as toast and eggs, or cereal I'd like her to eat it.  Usually when I clean up I will find her breakfast plate mostly uneaten. Getting her to take her pills is a hassle too.  She always wants to know what they are for so I have to try to explain even though she comes back the next minute with the same question.  So I may find the pills there later.  It is not all that easy to just tell her to take them and she takes them.  But I do what I can and her blood condition seems great. Oh Well.   The Dr, asked about Kay choking which I knew the reason was that Kay's condition causes people in that condition to choke and get food in their lungs then pneumonia then die. Vi. Campbell died from  this although as far as I know she didn't have dementia. Kay does choke now and then so it is a constant threat. She did it again this morning. But life is uncertain and this could happen any time. No matter what her condition is I want to be with her and enjoy every minute of it.  I have her pictures to remember the good old days. I want to make things as easy for her as I can. Is any thing more important than this?  Have a nice day. 

I've decided to go over and visit with Virginia Sheldon next week. It's boring just looking at these 4 walls all the time. The uncertainty  of not being able to drive is not with me any longer so I might as well take advantage of it and go somewhere.

Take a look at Bills war. Virginia Sheldon created a story of his service with the 39th FA in WW2. Find it at Four years in the 3rd Inf in WW2
