I woke after eight hours of sound sleep.
The nurse that I thought was going to arive at 0800hrs yesterday never did. I called both DeBakey VAMC and th community provider (MYnurse Home Care Inc.). The associate" at DeBakey said the scheduled appointment was with the community provider and the community provider associate said that I'm not scheduled for another visit until May.
Today is veteran's court day and the meeting at HCEC that follows. I'll make it to the meeting, but not the court session. Eloy informed me last week that Steve Cook, the mentor coordinator, is leaving. He's moving out of the area to be close to his grandchildren. The court baliff and his wife, Ray and Barbara Marin were both in church Sunday after a long absence. Fr. Preston was the celebrant and he added a special prayer request for Ray, who was scheduled for a biopsy this week. Fr Preston also added a Hail Mary to the prayers of the people. I truly found that to be a special addition as it's the first prayer in addition to the Lord's Prayer that I learned, and was admonished by my older brother James to never recite in his presence. James was virulent anti-Catholic. I'll have to ask Fr Preston if he received any negative feedback about it. I'm under the impression that the hail Mary never passes Fr Travis' lips.
Speaking of Fr Travis, he asked Doc Carpenter about OTC medications for liver health. We, Doc Carpenter and myself, both responded that there are none.
It's been my impresion is that Fr Travis is heavy drinker and may have been informed that he has a liver condition that will only be "mmade less harmful" by the absence of sugar and alchohol. Two people in my life have been through a horrific deatth by liver failure or COPD from cigarette smoking.
