Stiff Day
Movement for 8/17/08:
- She started out stiff and, despite a regular strength acetaminophen at breakfast, pretty much stayed that way throughout the entire day. When I offered her the wheel chair, on a hunch, on her way to her nap and her way to bed, she took the option, which is unusual, but I was glad, as she was fairly unsteady on her feet when she did walk or walker, today. Despite being wheeled from the rocker to the bathroom both before her nap and on her way to bed, she walked into the bedroom both times. She complained of her lower back hurting on her way to bed but refused acetaminophen, saying that sleep would "work out the ache", which is does. She also stood well for brushing her teeth but didn't have much stamina. She tried to stop brushing after about 30 seconds; I prompted her to continue, and she did, but was not happy about it.
