Hello From Rockville

Last night I was so tired I just went to bed and had a good night's sleep, results no blog.

My wake-up call came about 6:30 this morning from Harlan and he wanted to know what he should do today, I told him to go for breakfast and shave.

I went to the VA after stopping at McD to get Harlan ready for church, when I got there he was sure it was not Sunday I think he thought it was Sat. He does a good job of dressing himself if I take things out for him, buttons are hard for him as they are so small for his finger to work.

We went to church and after church we always go back to the VA to change into something more comfortable before we go out to eat. Today as we were getting ready to leave one of the nurses asked me if he had his ring on as they had found one on the floor in the bathroom I checked his hand and his ring was gone, it was his. This is not the first time he has lost it, several months ago it as it was found on the floor under his bed. At that time I asked him why he had taken it off (it's rather snug so it can't just fall off) he said he was exercising his finger by sliding his ring off and on. Denese suggested I pick him up a cheap ring for his finger so that if he looses it it's no big deal. We told him we were going to look for a new ring for him and he didn't think it was necessary and we told him he had lost it twice already he reply to that was, "It was not lost it was still in the building!"

For our lunch we went to IHOP then did a little shopping and gassed up the Van then back to the VA and watched the Twins loose, it was a good day and I had a good time with Harlan..........Fran
