Iffy Morning, Good Evening
Movement for 8/23/08:
- Although she made it to the dinette without being wheeled, she was slow and iffy and I must have mentioned at least three times that I had the wheel chair handy, but she refused to sit in it. She didn't have much energy and, frankly, looked, the entire morning, as she usually looks when I know she's ready for a nap. She made it into the living room on her own, though.
- I let her go for three hours napping. When she awoke she said, "I can't remember feeling this good in a long time." I'm not sure what the difference was. It isn't like she's been going without sleep. But she was perky and easy on her feet. In the bathroom, her right knee started giving her trouble, so I suggested the wheel chair, for which she opted, but it wasn't for a lack of energy. She headed into bed on her own, stood for an unusually long tooth brushing, and, as I was winding up her oxygen cord so she wouldn't trip over it, made it from her bedroom door to her bed without my usual helping hand. I cautioned her to stop and wait, but she said, "Oh, I think I can do this on my own, all right." And, she did.
