I got a call Friday that Bob needed looser clothing because he is retaining water and has gained some weight. We went to Cal Ranch and picked up a bunch of long sleeved T-shirts. We also went to Walmart and got some knit/sweat pants. He has such delicate skin he keeps tearing it, that is what the bandages are for. We also took him one of his fire magazines and more Ensure. When I brought him his magazine he did not recognize me, although he smiled a little at the site of the magazine. They said his face is like that because he has gained weight but it looks more like it is swollen from water retention. The whole time I was in there he just stared at me like you see below. It creeped me out so I left while my wife hung up his clothes.

Bob's Assesment
I had a conference call with Bob's care facility yesterday here is what was discussed:
His cognition was tested and he scored 2 of 15, so he has impaired cognition (DUH!). Bob did not know any of his chronological coordinates.
They stated his goals are "no significant decline" (good luck with that)
He had one episode of wandering, (wanted to know how to get out).
likes to read and look at magazines, slow to respond to the "air ball" game, and has to be coached to catch it, wants to hold the balloon when he gets it.
Is engaged when they have music, but has trouble dozing off.
They listed his Meds.
He is on a bowel program.
He has no uti's
he is on supplements for weight gain (ensure).
He is provided with 8oz of water every 4 hours while awake.
Has 2 cavities and will have a dentist fix them.
