Hello From Rockville

My day started with a phone call from Harlan, what a surprise, the Dr. changed his medication and he was able to use the phone, unbelievable!   He had such uncontrolled jerks he was not able to hit the right numbers on the phone and it appears the meds he was on caused the problem. 

I got my hair cut and stopped for breakfast and picked up my mail before coming home.  I had been home a short time when Ricked called me, he was visiting Harlan, we chatted a while and decided to take Harlan to eat at the canteen.  Harlan had a lot of coupon books to be used at the canteen, he had enough to buy us lunch.  We enjoyed eating then Rick took him back to his room.  I took him for a walk on his floor  and he did so well I seized the opportunity to give him a much needed hair cut.  He was tired so I just gave him a buzz job then he could lay down for a rest.  I put heat on his leg and we both took a nap. Today I stayed with him until supper time then left for home and guess what he called me when he got back to his room after eating.  He is so thin that anything I can get him to eat should help as he eats so little.  Many days he may only eat one meal or maybe none.  It seems each day is a surprise and I never know how things will go for him....Fran
