furlough

I'm on government furlough, so the first full day I had off I took advantage of to visit my brother.  He seemed a bit grumpy, and kept on making comments about the fact that he wasn't a cripple and not disabled.  I'm not sure where it was coming from.

The nursing home has managed to lose his brand new pants, it's always something that I have to follow up on.

His oral surgeon appointment was finally made by the caretaker I pay to help me manage his medical issues.  Her mother just passed away and it took her a while to get back on her feet.  My brother, husband and I sent her a condolence card, but when I told him there was a delay in gettting the appointment he was not very understanding.

Nonetheless, he seemed to enjoy the sunshine at the outdoor restaurant I took him to.  The main challenge is to keep him stimulated, it's pretty difficult to do it    even for an hour, not to mention 24/7.
