After I had Harlan ready for church and I was doing last minuet things to get him ready like clean his glasses a lens popped out and they couldn't find a screw driver small enough to loosen the screw so the lens could be popped back in. I rummaged through his odds and ends draw and found a pair of glasses that would work for him, we were heading out for church and they had them fixed so he didn't have to struggle to see. After church we went went back to the VA changed clothes and had lunch at Perkins, there were five of us, Denese, Rick and DeeAnn and all but DeeAnn had a senior meal, I sure do "hang around" with OLD people don't I? After eating and saying "Good Bye" Harlan and I went back to the VA and just rested, it was a lazy afternoon.
Harlan has been having a lot of trouble with his breathing and I just thought that it was the time of the year as he seems to have problems in the fall and August is just around the corner but that is not the reason. I found out today that he is refusing his maintenance meds which he is suppose to take twice daily, AM and PM. His breathing will go down hill if he refuses to take them. He just does not understand, my heart breaks a little when I look at him and see what dementia has done to him and it can't be fixed.
Each day I can spend with him is a treasure and I cherish each one.
Have a great day/night and I'll write again tomorrow..............Fran
I cherish the time I have with him.
