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.
