Monday

I didnt see Richard today because Im working. However he called me tonight and we talked for about 15 minutes. He read me his journal entries today. He has to write down once an hour what he does to help work on his memory. He said they are going to let him cook mac n cheese this week and eat it. He is really excited about that. He also said that Jose (case manager) told him he could leave on the weekends on a "field trip" with family. Im not sure what that entails but if they let me bring him to my house on a Saturday, Ill let everyone know. It would be nice for people to stop by and see him to encourage him. He really needs encouragment right now. He is tired of therapies and just wants to come home. He doesnt understand that its not safe yet for him to leave. He said he has no patience and thinks he is all better. As for anyone who wants to visit him at FINR, I would call me first (941-628-6206) so I can give you directions and make sure he is there and not in therapy. Also, it takes approx. one hour to get there-FYI!
