Life after Death Sentencing

Movement for 8/15/08:

• Groggy when awakened at her 12-hour-sleep-mark; so much so that I swear she dozed while taking her breathing treatment, which is the first thing that happens once I get her up on her ass. Hard rise from bed and verrry sloooow movement toward bathroom, although she insisted on not using the chair (I kept it very handy, anyway). Slow progress to the dinette and to her rocker after breakfast. She hasn't taken a nap, yet, although I expect that will be happening soon. She seems more alert. We'll see how the rest of the day shakes out.
• The rest of the day shook out sloooowly, but we didn't use the wheel chair. Mom was determined and, although, slower than usual and shuffling more than usual, she stayed on her feet, walking and walkering, and did well.

    I'm noticing that Mom's "mornings" are becoming incrementally and successsively slower...but she's still perking up, mostly, throughout the day. Her naps are extremely important; but, curiously, aren't extending beyond their 2-3 hour period.
