Sunday morning update!

If some of what I write seems disjointed of even more marginally logical than normal, it is because little Tom is assisting me in this post. His writing style is very different than mine. He prefers soft and fluffy prose, while I’m more into the hard driven style you’re all used to.

I’ve been into town to see Richard already this morning. He was in good spirits and seemed to be better. He had a test yesterday (barium swallow), which showed nothing special other than he is old and decrepit. We knew that already!

His doctor is trying a new tact. He has Richard on a plethora of new medicines. Okay, four new medicines, two for nausea/indigestion and two appetite stimulants. They are going to keep him in the hospital until at least Monday, to make sure he has no unfortunate reactions to the medicines. They have no real idea what to do for Richard’s difficulty swallowing, as they have no idea what causes it.


And a happy day to you all!
