The weekend was actually pretty good. We played pool on Saturday and also went for a long walk. We watched some silly movies as well. Al felt well enough to mow the backyard yesterday. He started sleeping a little bit elevated and that seems to be helping a lot. I don't know why I am having such a hard time sleeping at night. It's so frustrating. I'm tired, but toss and turn all night. Al's voice is very hoarse right now and his throat is really bothering him. He took some hydrocodone last night, which they told him to use for "breakthrough" pain. I have to keep telling him to take what they give him. He just hates taking all of this medication. The kids are having fun with their aunt and uncle. We talk to them several times a day.
