Chuck has agreed that he's getting worse by telling me yesterday to remind him about watering the bougainvilleas before 5:00 when he's not good.
Couldn't finish dinner tonight; it wore him out and he's now sleeping at the table.
I realized today that I need to check the time of our flight back to Phoenix. I think it's around 5:00.
The Lord is the Rock of my Salvation, and it's His grace that gets me through each day.

I never promised you a rose garden
I just heard something on the tv that reminded me of the song that went: "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden." In this life, we have thorns, but God through Jesus has provided a glorious future in our own rose garden.
Chuck is getting worse. I've noticed it, but I asked Charlie and Sarah today and they agreed.
This week I noticed that I had to answer the same question several times before Chuck understood. He is also tiring more easily and has trouble remembering if he took his medication.
We've tried three times in the last several weeks to eat dinner at the Queen Creek Cafe on Friday nights for all you can eat fish and chips (Chuck's favorite). The first Friday night four or five weeks ago and the last two Friday nights we've had to leave the restaurant quickly as he started to "lose it." Last night people had to help get him out of the cafe and into the car. Last night he made it into the house easier than other times when I had to run in the house, start his house air, and bring it out to him before he get himself out of the van. Last night, he made the comment that the restaurant that he couldn't see. Scary!
Tonight after dinner at home, he said he could feel it starting again, and was asleep almost before he sat down on the sofa.
I don't expect him to do chores around the house while I'm at work, but he does them. The last few weeks I've noticed that dishes he said he would do in the morning are not done, and other other things are slipping. I'm not complaining, its's just concerning. I've started doing more of the chores, like washing the dishes after dinner, and it angers him because he says he can do it because he has all day.
Chuck has seen both of his doctors in the last week, but he won't tell me what was said, and as I think I mentioned in a previous post, he went ballistic when I said I wanted to go with him to see his pulmonary specialist.
