Sense of Humor

Ken definitely has a sense of humor. It is Sunday morning. He has had the hiccups since Tuesday. He gets them so quick sometimes that it takes his breathe away and then he throws up. It isn't pretty. But it hasn't stopped him. He has worked thru it and is doing just what he wants to do. Friday night, we went to Eaton days and he had a banana split, his favorite. Yesterday, he had a big day working in the morning on campus getting ready for music camp. Then the two of us went out to lunch. We spent the afternoon shopping with Ken's mom. We took her to get new shoes, to get a new bed and then to get all the bedding for it. Took all afternoon since we have to deal with the wheel chair. I'll be glad when Ken can lift more than 5 lbs, that chair is heavy. But we had a good time. Then we took his mom out for a Chinese dinner and didn't take her back to rehab till 8:00. They thought we had kidnapped her. Ken was a trooper. He hiccuped all day. Everywhere we went he carried his bucket. In both restaurants and all the stores. Luckily he only had to use it in the car.
But you are wondering about the sense of humor I mentioned earlier. I'll tell you what he quietly told me during lunch. He can always make me laugh. Since he has lost almost everything he has eaten lately, it hasn't been to fun for him. The nurses told him not to eat any of his favorite foods this week, because once you throw them up, you don't want to eat them again. He was recalling that and talking about it at lunch. He said that on Friday night when he was throwing up, it was the banana split that was coming up. He said that it was sweet and tasted good even the second time around. I know that is gross, but it made me laugh. He said that according to the nurses, he shouldn't want to eat one for awhile, but come on. It's a banana split. Ken would eat one every day.
So far so good today. No hiccups yet. He is out pulling weeds. We'll see how the day goes. If they have stopped, I think I'll take him to dairy queen this afternoon. I think we owe him a banana split. Hope you have a great Sunday.
