open-mindedness

August 25, 2006 Ben’s home! He’s doing great! I’m doing great! I was upset that he started bumming cigarettes at the Lodge- apparently he has RIGHTS- imagine that. After talking to his doctors it’s far more dangerous for his heart for him to get upset and there is something in the nicotine that helps the brain to relax. When he freaked out one night at the Lodge, I actually suggested that they give him a cigarette and it worked to calm him right down. So, once again, I’ve had to open up my heart to things I was TOTALLY against. Never say never.
I’m busy getting ready for the work party tomorrow- our caregiver (who we call Ben’s assistant) just took him downtown for a bubble tea and then to the library. I’m so happy he’s home. I feel so much more at peace knowing he’s being looked after one on one. Bones is much happier too- however I haven’t seen anything of our kitty Bogie in the last couple of days- hope he makes it back but there’s a big rangy coyote living in the ravine…
