first of all thank you to larry and lynette for an absolutley excellent time last night, im so glad, for those of you whoo dont know for the last 4 or 5 years every christmas eve , Big guy, Romel and very others have all congregated at Larry and Lynettes(two of the most fabuolous people Ive ever met) For Hor's de oures. It was an absolute excellent occcasion that i got the three hor pass, i laughed and had such a good time. Thanks dad for making that happen
Secondly THANKS to all the support over the last 6 weeeks while i have been in the coma and drugged beyond my blief. I make the nurse go through every pill every day. Im not sleeping so well and they keep trying to give me a sleeping pill. If I need a pill to sleep i dont need to sleep, sheesh ive been sleeping for a month!!!! Ive been rehab hospital at Paradise Valley since Friday and its ok, some crazy dreams I hate being in this room alone at night. I stopped taking the pain pill, becuase I HAVE NO PAIN!!!!! The nusrses are all learning that i dont just take pills, I have kept taking the blood pressure medicine (however last night they wouldnt give to me because my blood pressure was so good.
MY GOALS: get this trach out, with xmas holiday its a ghost town so im stuck with it and its useless
Get home by Friday.
ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO ALL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AS I AM REALLY MOVING NOW!!!

FA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA....
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope everyone has had a great holiday. We will see how many get the Title and what it is referring to. I talked to Dad last night, and it appears that PJ was able to make his first trip out on the town last night. PJ was given a 3 hour pass yesterday and was able to go over to Larry and Lynettes for Christmas Eve last night. Dad and PJ were allowed to go over about 6:15 last night and allow PJ to continue in the Christmas Eve tradition that we read about in a previous blog.
PJ is also no longer with a patch over his eye. He was having difficulty focusing with his left eye, so they put a patch over his right eye to allow his muscles to work more and help his eyes to focus. That is no longer the case according to the Christmas Eve report that I received. PJ is also going to be off the Methadone by today if he isn't already. He is still given an anxiety pill, but PJ has said that he hasn't taken that in a while. The doctors are as pleased as they can be with the progress that PJ is making. I am sure that getting to go out last night was a big boost in his spirits!
I was able to talk to him again yesterday, and boy was he busy. He was doing about 6 things at one time and going 100 miles per hour. He was trying to get his laptop fixed, so he would talk to me for a minute and then say, "I can't get the mouse to work!" Then he would say, "How did you like riding in my jeep." Then, "I need to get the drivers for the card." It was great, he was trying to get back into the swing of things and, it seemed, getting a bit frustrated doing it. Then just as quick as the conversation started, it ended. "OK, I am going to go now." I was so happy to get to talk to him, and he sounds like he is doing great!
He is ready for the trach to come out. Dad tells me that the doctors are thinking that Tuesday (Tomorrow) he may get the trach out. He wants that out in the worse possible way. He sounded even stronger yesterday than the day before, and makes great progress every day it appears.
Merry Christmas everyone! I can honestly say this is one of the best Christmas's that we have had in a long time. The kids are having so much fun, and we are really blessed to be where we are. It is sad that sometimes it takes an event like this to make you really appreciate what you have in your life and how fortunate you are. I love you brother, and don't ever doubt that!
Hug your loved ones, and tell them you love them.
