breakfast

Today I drove myself for the first time in 3 weeks to go see my brother.  I took him out for breakfast.  He looked a little shaky today and wasn't walking very strongly until he had some food in him.  He looks like he has lost more weight so I asked him about it.  He said he had, and said they were giving him supplemental nutrients.  (I already knew this from several months ago.)  I asked him was it the food, was it no good and he said it wasn't that, but then he also said the food was unappetizing.

He ate about 2/3 of a waffle.  It's hard these days to remember him when he was so overweight (only about 7 years ago).  I have read on the Internet that loss of appetite is correlated with congestive heart failure.

But he was in good spirits.  It's still very hard to keep up a conversation with him, his world is pretty confined.
