Here ya go....straight from the fingertips of Mom.

"Roland and I are doing fine.  It was rough in the hospital he would wake up quite early like 4:30 and he was ready to go home.  He is now retired and at home and it is raining and cold and can't do much outside.  He wakes up early and then is sleepy yesterday he went to see the Dr. that removed the growth on his tongue and that is all well.  He still has some blockages in the right side of his neck and the back of his neck but they said they would treat that with medication or just follow a strict diet and no smoking.  Hunh!  he is trying but with no avail.

I went to the Chiropractor yesterday and told him I was stressed emotionally. He worked on me and prayed for me. 
Yesterday we were leaving to go to the Dr. and he had a hissy fit because he had no tic tac's and there was things in his console that he needed to clean out so he started throwing things around and getting pissed off OMG  I said stop it eh was throwing things outside and I said we are going to get a ticket.  Peanuts what is that doing in here I can't eat that.  I said if you don't shut up i will throw your cap out. 
So off we went pouring down raining and I am trying to just stay on the road in that awful weather and not use to this truck of his that he bought with the company or enterprise.  Tells me what to do and drive. 
Later down the road guess what his head starts bobbing and he falls asleep.  Amen, alleluia, and then he is cold all the time so I smother in the vehicle.  Ha.
I usually have to control the temperature often I put my side on AC and his on high heat. 
Well, we made it I dropped him off happily and went to my Dr. appointment. 
ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD HE IS ALIVE.  MY MOM USE TO CALL AND COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT DAD AFTER THE HEART HOSPITAL AND IA WOULD SAY THAT.  NOW I AM SAYING THAT TO MY SELF SHE IS NOT HERE TO TELL HER.  YES, I KKNOW I CAN STILL TELL HER BUT I FORGET MILLIE.
Anyway he fell asleep and when I finally turned around to look and see his mouth was open, his cap all crooked on his head and snoring. ha. Wish I would have had a camera to take it in picture.
Told Cindy the story and she laughed her fool head off.
We will survive.  He is not suppose to drive but eventually he will.  Scott and him went to the sale in Carencro one day.  To see the cows and horses.  So it is not all bad he really is going through an adjustment.  
Noel his tongue Dr. said all is good."

I asked if I could have her permission to post her message here.  Then came:

"Yes, you may have permisssion to put it in the blog/  Daddy just fell asleep at the computer he woke up at 4:30 went to town.  But after hearing the dog banging on the utility door.  He went let him out.  Then later after going back to bed he heard the dog banging  on the outside door.  so he let him in and put him back in the Utility.  Then I think he stayed up and then the dog started whinning  he wanted out and then he went to my door in the bedroom and started whinning.  He had fed him dry food but did not want to use the canopener to wake me up.  So I got up and pet him on the head he comes to me and looks at me like OMG  time you get up Daddy says he don't know what he wants.  So I feed him and let him out and everything is fine.  So later when Daddy went to town he started whinning again outside and I said NNNNO!

Never heard him again.  Every thing is cool now.
The dog did not wake Daddy up he just woke up and then the dog must have heard him.  When he put the heaters on.
So him and the dog don't get along but he did not get pissed off thank God. Or Falllllllll!"
And a little later came:
"That is the topic of the day.  We I started cleaning his closet looking all over for a sweater that (name) had bought him could not find him then I saw his closet needs organizing.  We found all kinds of stuff and organized.  Then he said look I need to get at my desk , again the second time I try to clean and I am distracting him.  Ok I said go to your desk I will take care of this.  then later it is all over he comes to the computer and falls asleep.
Looking up stocks and is sleeping with his head down.  I told him to go lay down and then he did not and then the second time I said go to the sofa Roland.  He is now laying down."
Cindy's Footnotes:
You've got to picture the events that unfolded as they were driving to their appointmets!  Dad is annoyed because there are no tic-tacs (keeps them in the console for fresh breath after smoking), but he does find peanuts (he cannot eat them because of past diverticulitus).  During his tantrum over these, Mom threatens to toss his cap out the window.  Shortly after letting off his steam and throwing his tantrum, Mom glances over and sees him SLEEPING; head nodding, cap tilted to the side.  YEP, I laughed til I hurt myself.

I have a young nephew who insists on sleeping with his favorite toys, or new gifts.  When Mom told me that Dad fell asleep at the computer (newly learned skills for him), the image in my mind was that of a small child with a newly acquired toy and insisting on sleeping with it.

Later in the evening, Dad phoned here to chit-chat.  I asked him if he were taking up Nephew's sleeping habits.  He asked why I'd say that.  I told him why.  He had a good laugh on that one.

And later still, I laughed even harder as I imagined the above stories unfolding.  Mom is continually mentioning how slow her computer and internet service have become.  Dad is usually quite impatient with this.  He actually has threatened to toss it in the trash.  But on this particular day, he falls asleep!  I wonder if that means that he is "adjusting" to the Golden Years.

Hey, Mom and Dad, don't forget to ENJOY those Golden Years!
