Yesterday was heavenly. I slept in, went and got a massage, came back and had lunch, went for a haircut and then for a mani-pedi. I feel like I am livin' uptown.
This morning I went to the neighborhood ladies breakfast. It was my lunch too because then had to pick up two band members and head to the VA home for our gig.
It went really well. We played over an hour, the motorcycle club brought in beer and snacks and really seemed to enjoy themselves. Cowboy was brought over (we played for the general population wing) and sat and listened and smiled. He got up to leave and I lost my place and messed up "Danny Boy" but no biggy. He headed for the mens room but I didn't know that. Afterwards I found out he soiled his clothes. I took him back to the memory unit and asked them to clean him up.
While there I talked to the nurse. She said this morning he was trying to get out of the unit. Kept trying the door. When she asked him what he was doing he told her he needed to out and check on the tarps on the trucks that were being loaded. Some kind of reference to his army days. They were able to distract him and everything was OK.
I was talking to the girls coming home. One of them used to be a nurse at the VA. We were on the subject of agent orange. I am fairly convinced that Cowboy's problems are all related to that. He comes from a family with members that live into their 100's, has always been very concientious with his health, exercise, diet, etc. It makes one a little sick sometimes.
Came home tired and plan to do little if anything this evening.
Tomorrow a handyman is coming to install the water softener and the microwave and do some wiring for me. Am going to use Cowboy's old closet for a room to do makeup, etc. and some linen storage. There is no linen closet in the master bath. go figure......
Will go see Cowboy again on Sunday/
