Life after Death Sentencing

Movement for 7/24/08:

• Walked under own steam to bathroom for bathing. Walked under own steam to dinette for breakfast. Walked under own steam to dinette steps under own steam, took steps and walkered well to rocker.
• Stayed up a looong time before napping and was a bit stupid-silly so I insisted on wheeling her to the foyer banister. She took the steps on her own, though, although when I suggested she walk to the bathroom she opted for the chair. Walked under her own steam to the bedroom, though.
• Walked under own steam to bathroom after nap, then to foyer banister and took the steps. I offered her the walker and she took it but her right knee threatened to give out so we switched to the wheel chair. Also wheeled her into to foyer steps, which she took, then to the bathroom and then to bed. Again, she'd overstayed her "welcome", so to speak, and, frankly, she was so tired I was afraid to let her try to walk. She suggested it, I nixed it.

    Even though it seems as though she used the chair a lot, overall it was a good movement day; great transfers, too; stood very well at the sink for teeth brushing in the evening; even added a little flourish to our usual "stretch, drop shoulders, wiggle hips" routine this morning.
