Hello From Rockville,

Today was a quiet day spent with Harlan.  The day was hard for him and I don't know why.  My first call from him came early this morning before I was up and when I looked at my cell phone he called me a total of 9 times today.  When I checked with the nurses he had taken all his meds, I thought maybe he had refused some.  He was really down and teary eyed, when he is sad I hurt too.  I needed a few groceries we shopped at Cashwise, I needed to make an appointment for an oil change we stopped at McKay's and we needed a treat we stopped at Park Diner.  When I took him back to the VA he was so sad, he walked me to the elevator but called me just after I got home and I could hear the sadness in his voice so I talked to the nurses and asked them to try and pay some attention to him and give him some extra love.  He has not called this evening so I hope he is resting and doing better, I will see him tomorrow.

I enjoyed my time with him even if I couldn't take his sadness away and I know tomorrow will be better......Fran
