There may be such a thing as normal but I wouldn't know how
to define it. Our life right now is abnormal and that is
easy to define but I think we are getting used to it. I have
been spending a lot of time with my son and finding items to
make him more comfortable. His diet is limited and I cook
things he likes. Oddly enough it is high carb so he can
really go to town on pasta and sweet things. He has lost a
lot of weight. It is truly a "one day at a time" ordeal.

I am enjoying watching the Republican candidates destroy themselves. It has gotten so ridiculous. Can Mit Romney
buy the Presidency? I guess we will have to see. Newt,
once disgraced, sporting his newest wife, is trying for
the brass ring and the deplorable Santorum with his
antipathy to birth control leaves me speechless.

Reading keeps me entertained. I just finished Rescue by
Anita Shreve. It was good. I have a whole bag of books
to go through in the next two weeks.

Ted is about finished with his course of chiropractic
treatments. It got rid of the nerve pain but he really
needs back surgery. He has very little balance and it
hurts him to walk. He has an appointment with my internist
on Feb third and we will go from there.

This has been a much warmer winter than usual so I have
been able to get out and walk a lot. I am grateful for
that and grateful that Bobby has good health insurance, a
disability policy and a healthy wife and children. My
daughter says that she has clients whose cancers are not
treated because they don't have health insurance, so they
just drink. Just another reason to write our congressmen.
