Hello From Rockville

DeeAnn called me this morning to see if we could get together over dinner, good idea and it worked out.

I did laundry before I went in to see Harlan, he is having a difficult time and I don't think his new antidepressant will start until after Labor Day so he has to wait several more days for help. The medication he is on has been dropped from 80 mg to only 20 mg and that's much too low. He is aware that he has a problem and he does not like it. He played bingo and again he plays well missing very few numbers. After bingo we went for a drive around the back side of the VA near the river, it is so peaceful and pretty back there. Before we left one of the staff asked Harlan where we were going, and Harlan told them we were going to take turns pushing each other into the river, I don't know if they believed him but Paula says, "Do you know the paper work involved if something happens?". Harlan was only kidding, we had a great time back there. We then went to Culver's for ice cream, we shared a banana split. We went back to the VA and, Harlan did his meds, we visited and just before supper Rick stopped, Harlan enjoyed seeing him, then off to supper. I joined Rick, DeeAnn, Sarah and Wes for dinner at Antons, we had good food and a fun time together and we then separated and I came home.

Tomorrow is another day and Harlan and I will go to Church until then good night!..........Fran
