Last week, I was watching President Obamas 'state of the union address and got a call from the nursing home. the person was quite insistent that she speak to me, that it had to be me and no one else. I thought, oh boy, what bad thing has happened?
It turned out that my brother fell in the bathroom, but that he was ok. My husband went the next day to check him out and confirmed that he wasn't in crisis.
Of course, you always wonder why he fell. Was it afib again? Just balance issues? Or did he have another TIA?
I saw him for breakfast this Saturday. He now is the leader of the current events discussion group. He says that people are "forced" to come, and that they don't talk. I believe that they don't talk because most of them don't talk, period. I asked him if it was hard to fill up an hour with current events and he said no.
I am very curious about what it's like. I have never heard my brother talk for more that 3-4 sentences at a time.
