Says he's better...

When I visited Les this afternoon, he said he was much better (as opposed to well or fine). When we returned after dinner, he ate a bowl full of grapes and drank lots of juice. He actually put on his glasses and watched all of Wheel of Fortune with us (that's right, 30 full minutes with his eyes open!). This hasn't happened for a long time!

Mom said physical therapy was difficult after so many days laying in the bed. The pain in his neck is still very painful...he didn't even want lotion on his head today because it hurt. We're not sure what to do about that. Hopefully tomorrow will be better as well. Thanks for checking!

  1. Three cheers for a good day!!! Let's make this a trend Uncle Les! As for the eyes open for the entire Wheel of Fortune...I'm guessing Vanna had a hot dress on tonight! :)

  2. LOL....I'd have to agree with Kimmie! I hope you continue to have more of an appetite. We have the grandkids tonight and Riley said to tell Uncle Les to try the cookies that have the little chocolate stripes on them. He said they always make him feel better. :) Heck, it's worth a try!

    Love and to all!

  3. Hi Uncle Les,

    I'm so glad you're feeling better. Please give Auntie C a big kiss and a squeeze from me.

    It's been a big week in the Drake household. A new puppy was added to our family and Jim went to the casting call for the next Food Network TV Star. Whoa! What has gotten into us?

    We wish you all the comfort in the world.

  4. Its comforting to know that every time someone clicks on this blog a prayer is sent... knowingly or not.

  6. Thought and prayers are coming your way. I came to see you one day but you had just gone back to the hospital. Hope you are doing better.
