There was a trace of snow on roofs and temps below freezing.
I had planned to take Harlan to church but several things came into play that made me change my mind. When I got to the VA he was sleeping and had a hard time waking up and when he did I could see he held his head to the side and his neck hurt. I could feel his neck muscles were very tight and when Denese rubbed on his neck he nearly hit the ceiling it hurt so bad and I knew he would have a hard time sitting through the church service. The weather was so cold and windy the best place for him was any where but outside. Denese and I went to church then Denese went to Grizzlies and picked up dinner for us. Harlan enjoyed the BBQ ribs and I enjoyed the chicken.
As Harlan was walking down the hall one of the nurses noticed Harlan was missing a lens in his glasses, we checked under his bed and sure enough it was there (if anything is missing - his glasses or hearing aids that's the first place to check). They will be sent down to be repaired.
I put heat on his neck and they gave me a topical rub to put on his neck and that seemed ease his pain

After eating we took a little rest time, then it was meds time and after that we went to the lower level (basement) and took a walk. We went to building #51 and found a candy vending machine and got an Almond Joy candy bar to share. We enjoyed the candy in the sun room then up to his room and it was dinner time, time for him eat and me to go home.
Today was good even if it was cold....Fran
