Hello From Rockville

Happy Birthday Denese!

It's very quiet here this evening, Denese went to St. Paul to spend time with Jenny and the girls and celebrate her birthday.  She'll be back tomorrow.

I had a surprise phone call from Shirley she was in town and spending time with Harlan, he enjoyed that.

I went in and spent time with him later and did not see Shirley. He played bingo and was able to win one game and then we went to McD for a treat, we each had a burger he had coffee and I had a side salad.  When we went back he took his meds and neb which he needed, his breathing has been more difficult and I came home, I try to leave before dark when it's cold or snowy.

I haven't brought him to Rockville or Cold Spring for a while and he seems more content when he stays close to the VA.  I do notice he is haveing more difficulty expressing himself not being able to find the right words and this frustrates him, it seems to satisfy him if I tell him I'll check on it or we'll talk about it later and he drops what ever he is trying to tell me and that seems to take away the frustration. 
We had a good day and as I always say each day together is a special blessing.........Fran
