I left a little early to go see Harlan, he met me just outside his room. His comment to me, "You are early". Me, "Maybe ten minuets". Harlan "You are early". When I looked at the clock I guess I don't get there until about 2:15 and it was 2:00, so he was right. Karon was about to take his lunch tray away, he had not eaten anything and decided to leave it in case he would eat something. Well, when I took a good look at him his teeth were gone (again) only this time it was his upper not the lower so Karon and I began a search of his room, in his bed, under his bed, in his closet, in his night stand, Karon even "patted" him down checking his pockets, no luck. We checked the bathroom and the room across the way (they were found there once before). I got down on the floor next to him to do a good search under his bed (I have found teeth and hearing aids there) and when I got on my knees Harlan commented, "Are you praying?" My response to that, "Yes, to find your teeth." About that time Mary came in (she cleans) and she had seen them right next to the phone but they were not there now, I guess she knew where to look and found them behind his chair in the corner, another place to check next time.
I cleaned his teeth and returned to his mouth and decided he needed a hair cut after the hair cut I changed his t-shirt and sweater to get rid of any hair clippings that would make him itch and we went down to the dinning room for "Happy Hour" and a treat. They were serving scones and juice which we partook of, after that we went back to his room for our afternoon naps. We did a bit of napping but then he wanted to sit up on the bed and would fall asleep just sitting on his bed but I was not able to convince him to lie down so he wouldn't fall down, his understanding and being able to follow directions just don't work for him.
At 5:30 I convinced him to go for supper and I went home, so was my day.....Fran
