 BOBS BEEN BUMMED





When you get  T-shirts made to describe how you are feeling, you know things have gotten bad. The first time Bob came to my house with a T-Shirt that described how he was feeling, it said, Diarrhea 70. I knew what Diarrhea meant but I was curious about the 70. He explained that that is how many times he had been afflicted with it in the last 5 years.  I told him maybe it would be better to go home and come back on a different day.  A few weeks later he came back on Ulcer 100 Day.


Anyone that knows Bob will tell you that he is usually a pretty upbeat guy

                                                 (see pictures Below)


                              











Then one night about 5 years ago I ask Bob if he would like a Raccoon Hat....
The fun stopped...

All of a sudden Bob could not even remember his name!

At first he thought maybe it was Kenny....



Or something like Roy or maybe Gene....



Susan Assured him that even if he never remembered his name she would still love him.




Susan ask Bob what he would like to be called, he thought maybe  Barry.






                                   My Name is Bob!

One night several years later Bob came over on Constipation 30 Day. I suggested he come back on Ulcer Day again. Two days later when he came back on Ulcer Day I was relieved to see he was still at 100. As he sat on my couch I offered Bob some fruit. Suddenly Bob had a break through.  My name is Bob!
                                               
                             

 

                          How did this whole thing happen??

                                        What could fruit and raccoons have in common?

                                     (hint: traumatic experience explained in previous blog)





                     Bob's quest for answers!

He searched......




                 

and he searched.....

and he searched.....


He even searched in his sleep....


Then one day....

           
                                                           when he was about to give up...




                                                                He found it!
