Two hilarious things happened today. First, when I arrived, I saw an alarm bracelet on T's wrist. The story is is that Bob was found in the parking lot yesterday looking for his car. He was in his wheelchair after lunch, so no alarms were activated. The doors have the automatic handicap buttons on the wall. Bob pushed it and exited the building. Another resident saw him, then summoned for help. My T is on "house arrest".
The second incident happened while I was at home this evening. I received a phone call that had a male's voice on the other end. He said, "Hello". I didn't recognize the voice until he continued his conversation. He said, "I'm at the gas station across from the VA, and I don't have my billfold, so I don't have any money. Can you bring me my billfold?" Oh, now I know whose male voice this is. It was my T. I took his wallet and cell phone to him to make him feel more human.
"How ya doin, Bob?"..."I need to take a break from all of this. I miss being with you all the time. I need to come home."
