Eyebrows

Infection, depression, and boredom, makes for sad days. Good that Dale is treated for the infection and his body is facing it alright, bad that he is still getting the same intestinal infection so frequently. Good that Dale's mind is clear enough to have the feelings of depression, bad that he is in such a state so frequently. Good that Dale is bored because that means he wants to be productive, bad that his body is not quite ready for the production Dale would like to do. Answers: stay out of hospitals where the infection jumps into Dale's system. Accept visits, calls, or notes from people. Dale is a people person and needs us around him. I believe the respect for his fragile immune system condition is high and appreciated, although, Dale needs people. Feel free to call or visit him, however I say this today and then I am taking him out of town for the next few days. He is healthy enough to road travel, (airplanes do not have infection clean air) we have business to complete, and the trip together will be good for us both.

Progress: eyebrows are visible now, his mustache is darker than before, and gray rules the beard, but the loneliness and depression remains in his eyes.  We had a little family visit last night that brought joy and colored pictures to display on the fridge. That helps.
