Harry has just started leaving the residence once per monthfor a day to visit his daughter and her husband on her farm. Theycome and pick him up and then bring him back after the day is over.You notice after one of these trips that he has bruises all overhis upper arms. You ask him how he got the bruises and he justshrugs it off and says it’s nothing, he hasn’t even noticed them.Harry is rather melancholy but you can see he is upset and he keepsrubbing the bruises.
