Bob got up right after I did, between 7 and 7:30. He is back asleep now. I have to run Pedro to the vet for a check up, but Bob knows that.
His sleep seems to be a better quality. I do not know if that is from the medicine or from finally beginning to eat more. I am just thankful.
Today he sees the cardiologist as a follow up from his hospitalization at St. Teresa's. It will be more news of more heart failure, and the fact that he is not well enough to have surgery.
I am in conversation with his VA social worker. I will be honest and tell you that I am giving serious thought to a Memory Care unit that the VA will pay for. It will mean he is safer and getting more care than I can give him on my own. I will have some other people giving me input into this, though.
So I have to go catch the cat. I will catch up with you guys later.

I don't know what does mean, but I hope you will still be with him everyday so he can feel more secure and love.
When I am sick, knowing that my mom is there beside me makes me strong.

I don't know what 'Memory Care' entales but it could give you a chance to recoup after what you've been going through and just end it when you've rested and he's doing better.

That might give you a lot more peace of mind. Poor Bob and Poor you.

I'm sure Memory Care isn't what you prefer but if that's what is best for him, then I hope you can find one with a bed for him.
Good luck with everything!

I think it's good that you are giving this some thought
I think I would go down that route if I thought it would be better all round for Bob
Difficult decision to make

A memory care center can be very helpful.
Hope you caught the cat. They know when something is up.
