Hello From Rockville

I went in early to spend time with Harlan as I wanted to find out what I could about Harlan's sore leg and get his medication changed for his depression.

About his leg - it was determined that the bracelet he wears around his ankle was causing the problem, his symptoms didn't indicate a clot so the bracelet was shortened and moved to the other ankle. This bracelet has a small white box on it that sends out an alarm if he tries to go out the door, gets on the elevator or goes down the stairs, if he did any of those things and got out of familiar surroundings he would not know how to get back to his building. It is really necessary for his protection and my peace of mind.

I took him to see Dr. Kemp and he will try some other meds on him, first he has to be taken off of what his taking and this a slow process taking several weeks and then put on the new medication, I sure hope he feels better when his medication is changed.

After everything was done we went to McD and he had hot chocolate and I had coffee. He likes Perkins hot chocolate better then McD, McD's is too sweet.

I was invited out for grilled chicken along with Harold and Marilyn from this building, Ed who used to live here invited us to his place in Cold Spring. The food was great along with the fellowship.

Today was a good day and tomorrow will be too, until then good night........Fran
