Latest Health Update
* Last week I had severe pain in the pancreas area. On Saturday, I had to leave Sear one hour early to go home. I felt hot, so I took my temperature and it was 101 degrees. That's when I figured I was starting pancreatitis, so I began taking hydrocodone every 4 hours all night long. By Sunday, I was still feeling hot and my temperature of 100 confirmed that, but I continued my regimen and actually got 8 hours of sleep that night. Then I had enough energy for Sears for 6 hours on Monday. The pain is under control right now and it such a blessing.

* Monday night we went to the hospital to visit with Otis and Perthana and play one rubber of bridge. It is nice to focus on someone else for a change. They seemed to enjoy our game time.

* Today, we mowed Wanda's rent house yard. I continue to take the drugs, and I am drowsy most of the day. I even fell asleep last night while I was using my back vibrator/heater. I woke up after about 45 minutes.

* Tonight, we go to the Goldenagers to play pitch and I hope to still be alert enough to play a game which requires very little thinking.
