Ted in spite of all the medicine and drugs just gets weaker
by the day. I didn't realize how weak he was until last
night. He mowed one swath in the back yard and had to come
in. I went out and was surprised at how easy it was with
the electric lawn mower. I finished it but it makes him
feel so ashamed that I am going to interview a lawn service
today. I would prefer to do it myself, I could use the
exercise and I actually enjoyed it.

We have booked a cruise on Oceania's Marina. It will start
in Athens and end in Rome. It is a dream come true for
Ted and I certainly want him to enjoy it and see everything
we can. It is not until November. I have been to Spain
and Morroco twice and it is my favorite trip. I love the
lifestyle but he wasn't interesterd so I let him choose. I
just hope we can get the pain regulated. He is going to
a pain management seminar.

It is so sad when your companion and best friend is ill.
