Hello From Rockville

Harlan and I had a good day. We went to church, then back to the VA to change into jeans to be more comfortable and kill time so the restaurant's would have taken care of the noon rush. We chose IHop and guess what when we got there the waiting list was L-O-N-G, (they told us about 15/20 minuets) we did wait but the wait was only about 10 minuets, the wait for food was very long. Harlan didn't seem to mind.

We got back to the VA at about 2:30 and turned on channel 2 and watched their spiel for money but the programing they used was the Big Band era and Harlan enjoyed watching and even asked me if I couldn't find some money to send them.

He has been doing his meds and the neb machine with no complaining, but his routine has been the same from day to day the only change is Sunday and his Sundays are all alike. We hope it stays that way, I enjoy good days with him. Until tomorrow good night........Fran

Harlan called me to tell me his glasses were broken, I called and talked to a nurse to see if they could fix them as several week ago a lens fell out and they were able to put the lens back in for him, no luck this time, the little screw is gone so they can't be fixed until Monday. While he was in the hospital (2 years ago) I got him glasses so he could lay in bed and watch TV they have no lenses in them for reading (no trifocals) just distant so hope they work for tomorrow. He used them today to play bingo and that went well.

I had a good day with Harlan, we took a walk to check on the peacocks, the three little ones are still small but have their big feathers, after his walk he played bingo then we had our treat at McD and back to the VAfor meds and I went home.

Denese has been working on pants for me and I think they will be great, a pair that will fit me. I bought stretch fabric and that should make the pants very comfortable.

Will be in touch tomorrow.........Fran

Harlan had an appointment with Dr. Fox and he is doing okay.

After my Crosslake excursion I need to put some fuel in the van, Harlan likes to be helpful and pump the gas. There is a used clothing etc. store (similar to Good Will) next to Fleet Farm Harlan and I checked out then we went to the Park Diner for our daily treat after satisfiying our sweet tooth we headed back to the VA as Harlan was tired and wanted to rest. Today we didn't do much, after Jeopardy I went home, we had a good day together...........Farn

Hello From Rockville

I had a great time while I was in Crosslake, I saw many friends and got oh so many hugs. We had lunch in Pequot lake at a restaurant called the Tiki and I had a Tiki Dog everyone else had intriguing salads, sandwiches and soups and everyone liked what they had, oh yes, mine was good too. I had a good time with Myrna, Peterson's and McGill's and we had a surprise visit from Roy and Betty. I got into CL at 9:00 AM on Wednesday in time to join the CL YAH's and left Brainerd at about 12:30 today and was at the VA before 2:00.

I took Harlan to Sam's Club after a short shoppong spree there we had out treat at Culver's when we fot back Harlan was so tired he slept and I don't think he had supper tonight, I don't know why he is so tired. I'll see how he is tomorrow when I see him.........Fran

Hello From Rockville

A busy day - 8:00 AM hair cut for me, 9:00 AM set my neighbor's hair, 11:00 "brunch" with DeeAnn (we went across the street), 1:30 left to spend time with Harlan, 2:15 shopped at Walmart, 2:45 treat at Culver's with Harlan and DeeAnn back to the VA with Harlan left the VA at 5:00. I ate supper at 5:45, stuffed envelopes for Rockfest at 6:00. Denese and I went shopping at 7:00, it is now 9:30 PM and I need to pack as I'm going up to Crosslake tomorrow and will come back on Thursday afternoon in time for our 6:00 PM birthday party here.

While I was at Culver's my car horn started blowing, very loudly. I had accidentally hit the sliding door control and the door opened, I rushed out but I could not unlock the car with the control I had to use the key and then put the key in the ignition to start it and at that time the horn stopped blaring. How embarrassing!!!

I will not write in my blog tomorrow but will write on Thursday.........Fran

Hello From Rockville

It sure is a hot muggy day but no indication we'll get any rain.

This morning I washed clothes and went for Bible study. After lunch I went in to see Harlan, he said his neck hurt, his little finger has some swelling and it's discolored and I think it will look worse before it looks better but it does not seem to bother him. Because his neck had some discomfort they gave him Tylenol which helped and when we returned from our treat he slept. We went to the Park Diner he had a Hot Fudge Sundae which she put in a bowl making it much easier for him to eat and I had an orange float, very good all very good on such a warm day!

That takes care of today, will "chat" again tomorrow........Fran

Hello From Rockville

I went to the VA this morning with plans to take Harlan to church but he chose to stay "home", he was tired and didn't want to get dressed to go, I joined Denese and went to Sunday School.

After church we went back to the VA and Harlan was ready to go somewhere for lunch. We picked Perkins for lunch then went to check out the new Sam's and the new Walmart which is across Highway #15 from Perkins, I'm not sure it will be a place for me to shop as to get there you have to navigate three round-a-bouts and they really intimidate me, the St. Cloud area are sticking them all around, I have to go through one to go to church but it's not a busy one so that one I can handle.

This evening Harlan called me , he said he had fallen out of the closet, this made no sense to me and I was in the area so stopped to check on him, I'm not sure what happened but he had a scratch on his knee and a sore little finger on his left hand, I think Tylenol should take care of the discomfort he is having but tomorrow he may be stiff and sore. Tomorrow I'll let you know more if there is more to tell.........Fran
