Man, Doug sure is having a hard time, isn't he

You mentioned the other day that he liked Propel fitness water. I'm wondering if they could give him ice made out of Propel. When my Mom was in the hospital and there were times that she couldn't have water because of drugs or testing, they let her have ice chips. Also, nearer the end when she just didn't have the energy or the desire to drink or eat anything, ice chips helped soothe her mouth and her throat.

If you wanted to, you might want to check and see if you could bring some ice chips made out of Propel for him when you visit.

30 miles away in a nursing home -- that's gonna make your visiting more difficult, I imagine. My advice would be don't try to visit every day, but, do tell him when you'll back again and keep your word. You could see him every 3 or 4 days, as long as he knew when you were coming back again.

I've been working on my store and I've had to move all my little pictures because the free service that I had for my pictures is discontinuing. I haven't been on the forums as much in the past few days as I usually am.

I hope you're well and taking good care of yourself.

Even though I haven't been around as much, you're still in my heart and in my prayers -- you and your friend. BIG HUGS.
