Flu Plateau
Movement for 10/18/08:
- She's actually performed normally, today, including an "exercise session" during the first half of her day, but her nose has been running like gangbusters, which has been bothering her, and, although her spirit is valiant, her legs are a bit on the iffy side. On her way into the bedroom from the bathroom for her nap she mentioned that her legs felt "shaky".
"That's because you're walking and standing with your knees bent, Mom. That puts a lot of stress on the muscles. Straighten up."
"I did." This is true. Any time she walks, I have her stop and tell her to straighten up three or four times a session. It was no different today.
"Well, try it again. There. Better?"
"If you say so," in her ironic tone.
We'll see how she does after her nap. - She did well this evening, using the wheelchair only between the rocker and the foyer steps. She had a bit of difficulty rising on her way to bed, which was funny, really, considering that she was conflicted about heading for bed. She was clearly tired but she was also locked into a History Channel special about the significance of Star Trek in regard to technological change since the original series aired. Bed won out.
