Earl and Henry are unusually friendly today. They aren't used to me being gone such long days. They missed 2 pet therapy gigs at the hospital because of the cold. We'll have to make them up when the weather moderates. Today was a tough one for my patient. He was talking about suicide all day, and when his retired cop friends stopped over he asked them to leave a gun. It was a difficult situation. His minister came to visit with communion and that helped a bit. Pastor was very encouraging and found just the right scripture passages to try to comfort. Hope this weekend will be better for him. His daughter is scheduled to visit from Milwaukee, and hopefully that will help the situation...that and a change of meds, or rather an increase in his anxiety med dosage.
