Hello From Rockville
Today was wash day, then into see Harlan. He said he was cold when I got there and he was on top of the blankets, it is so hard to understand why he doesn't understand that he has to cover up when he is cold if he lays down on the bed, I kind of "lost it", I felt so bad about that. He even told me I could leave if I was going to be mad at him. I got him warmed up, I took off his shoes and had him get into bed and under the blankets, I then put the heating pad on his leg with the clot which helped him warm up. His legs were cool to the touch so he was cold. He said he did not eat breakfast or lunch and when I checked with the staff they confirmed his lack of eating. He had called me earlier in the day and told me he didn't feel good, his stomach hurt he probably was hungry. After our confrontation and I got him warmed up we went to McD for coffee and today I got him a cheese burger with fries and he "inhaled" it, he was hungry. When he decides he is not going to eat sometimes they can get him to but many times he just won't.
Tomorrow will be better.......Fran
