Hello From Rockville
Today being Sunday I helped Harlan get ready and we went to church. After church we had lunch at Culvers, Rick and Sarah stopped to see us there and we decided a trip to the Northern suburbs of the Twin Cities would be a nice mini trip. Rick suggested we go see Adam's house. It needs some tender loving care in the form of cleaning and painting. DeeAnn is so good at painting she will do a good job of making it look nice. She had already found a sectional at a garage sale that she could have for the taking so his living room is "furnished" as the sectional is fairly large. Rick drove our van down and Sarah drove it back to where Sarah lives.
Oh, yes, Sarah is back from her basic training and she feels very positive about her training, it was a good experience for her.
After seeing the house we went for treats at the restaurant where Adam works, I can't remember the name of it, Adam was not working today.
Then it was time for Harlan to go back to the VA and he was not happy, but was okay until I got him to his room, he said he would not take his neb and he would not go for supper. I can only feel that he has to be on a schedule and not deviate from it. On Sundays we go to church then out for lunch and back to the VA and I stay until supper time. I thought a short trip would be a nice variation on a mundane Sunday but I don't think we will do that again as it is so hard on him, me and the staff. I hate to see him so sad and upset. He called me several times but was upset each time he called, tomorrow should be better.
Until tomorrow, good night.........Fran

  1. I'm so sorry it didn't go well after you left us. It is sad to see him sad and, you're right, staying in a routine for him seems to work the best.
