Less Slow
Movement for 7/28/08:
- Although again, this morning, when I attempted to rouse her at her 12-hour-sleep-mark, she asked for extra time (yesterday she asked for an extra hour...today she asked for an extra half hour; both days I gave her for what she asked) and was so drowsy she performed a sitting up mini-sleep during her first breathing treatment of the day, when I asked if she wanted to use the wheel chair (each time she needed to move from one place to another) this "morning", she refused. She was iffy on her feet, especially her right, but persevered. She walked under her own steam on her usual paths, walkered on her usual paths, took steps and performed our usual before-front-groin-bathing stretch-drop shoulders-hootchy kootch with elan. We'll see how she does tonight.
- No problems this evening, either...and no wheeling. Did her usual combination of walking with environmental supports and walkering. She was in a very good mood. Mentioned to me, "I haven't been outside today, have I?"
I confirmed that she hadn't...but didn't bother to mention that she hasn't been outside in a long time. "The rain seems to have abated as of today. Why don't we plan on spending some time in the yard tomorrow?" I said.
"Good idea!" She sounds enthusiastic. Maybe some of her recent drag has definitely been attributable to the rain.
