Slipping off the Runway!

Yesterday was a slow and easy kind of a day although it had to be that way because Mr. Indi was not feeling up to par and had to spend more time than usual resting on the bed. He had had an unfortunate experience in the middle of the night when (in the dark) he went to sit on the toilet and came up short of the runway by about 6 inches and slid down the side of the loo and onto the floor. He managed to push his walker out of the way and hang on to the sides of the loo and pull himself up! I bet that's the first time he's ever done that - sober! I slept through the whole performance.

We went to the grocery store just before lunch and I made my rounds of the veg, milk and bakery departments while he left a trail of destruction behind him driving one of those electric carts for the disabled. He knocked over at least 3 displays in the aisles and backed into a woman with two small children, who, according to his Lordship, should watch where they are walking! And, while I was buying the essentials needed for life itself - he was buying himself a miniature helicopter to fly around the living room! Well, we each have our own priorities!

In the afternoon, we watched the movie High Anxiety. It is donkey's years old but still as funny and clever as before. It's a spoof on all the Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, including Vertigo, The Birds, North by Northwest and others. The shower scene from Psycho is hysterical! What a good laugh we had.

This afternoon, Mr. Indi has an appointment with Dr. J. He will learn the results of his last round of blood tests and whether or not it is worth trying another regimen of chemo. We know that the last combo of Taxotere and Cisplatin was no longer effective and his PSA numbers were climbing again. It will be interesting to see what Dr. J recommends next - maybe nothing!

Rain is on the way - Yahooooo! and I have chopped enough wood and bought in enough logs to last us for a few days. We should be snug. All of my Christmas shopping is done - that's because I haven't done any! I have sent out money. I think that people always like money and if not - Sigh! And - I have enough food in the freezer to feed anyone and everyone who might stop by.

After I posted my blog yesterday and included greetings to my addressless friends - I remembered 2 more very special people. Dear Lexi - Love you babe, have a wonderful Christmas - stay warm! And, Dear Brenda, May the New Year bring you lots of good things, I'm thinking of you. xxxx

Today's picture is another one from the Mission Inn - he is about 4 feet high and kinda looks like Mr. Indi!
