Journal entry by Paul Schoenkopf

Dear Family and friends,

After last post Paul is stable...  but from last week he getting stronger, eating more, his memory is much better. He is much more understanding and his reply for the question sometime have sense of humor and sarcastic.... for sure, that is a real Paul!

The something  like a ball the fist size in his tummy that I mention on the post on 13th is disappear that make me big relief. 

We have friends visited from time to time. Thank you all friends to visited and give Paul the support.

September 25th, 2020 At 5 in the morning Paul cried for help.... I'm panicked but still under control, I gave him the oxygen.... it's end up that he want to poop but can't go by him self, so I gave him the enema!.... I learn if people want to poop, not give them oxygen but give them enema :)    Late afternoon I look through the window, saw P'J and Nook took Paul to his car, I thought Nook might give the a ride but he jumped in the car and start the engine.... that scared the hit out of P'J.... It's took us almost half an hour to calm him down and take him back in to the house, now I put the car key away..... as I can't trust him to drive he..he...

Yesterday September 30th, 2020 was the first dining out in  this 2-3 months. At first I called to order food from Billy restaurant but after 10 minutes Paul asked 'shall we'...... ?!?!?   I'm pretty sure that he said he doesn't want to go out when I asked is he want to go out for dinner, It's might be the missed communication... but anyway it's good that he want to go out, so I call  the restaurant and told them that we will eat there.  Billy, the owner of the restaurant so surprise that Paul can walk from the parking lot to the restaurant by him self.  The dinner was great as usual, and it seem like Paul really enjoy food!  I'm not worry about his tummy as I know how to deal with constipate and diarrhea very well now.... you can call me Gastroenterologist ha..ha..ha..
