Grandma sent us this email this afternoon, P.S. he doesn't have a computer or cellphone with him at the moment. :
 
I just talked to Kim, and he has decided that I should wait until tomorrow to take his glasses to him.  He was shaving (!!) when I called, and told me he had a clean shave now for the first time in who knows when.  He asked that I bring something to read -- I have a Will Durant book, The Life of Greece, that Barrett had given to me a couple of years ago, and he wanted that.  Also suggested a crossword puzzle book, since he doesn't have his computer. Said they are running all kinds of tests on his lungs, so is mostly sedated and busy today.
He admitted that he had resisted going back to VA but is glad to be there, and "feeling safe" now.
I told him I would call him tomorrow about bringing the things out to him, and he was good with that.  He doesn't, however, want to see anyone just now, so will receive the package.
He was happy to know that Cavanaugh is in good hands.
