This Day Is a Blur
Movement for 9/23/08:
- We had a construction company over here putting in grab bars. He arrived about 1000 and worked until a little before 1500, even though I had hoped that he would be out before 1400. I let him continue because Mom seemed thoroughly ensconced in sleep. I finally awoke her at 1500. She was clearly ready to arise by that time, but she was also iffy on her feet and obviously confused about our half grab-barred bathroom. One her primary supports was missing and this was difficult for her, although we managed. I decided, previous to awakening her, that it would be a good idea to make the entire day a wheelchair day. She didn't refuse. She had a fair amount of trouble with transfers, though; so much so that I changed out the pillow on her rocker to an "over-stuffed" one to make it easier for her to sit and stand. I'm not sure, but I think it's possible that her hemoglobin is dropping again. We're also having trouble with feet swelling. Some of this could be due to the acetaminophen, which I've cut out, as of today. Her arm is improving, though, slowly but surely.
