Flying Low
Movement for 10/15/08:
- We're both flying low today; I'm flying a bit lower than Mom. She's having trouble catching her breath, partly, I'm sure, because her nose is stuffy, although there may be other reasons, as well. The plateau she established has lowered, a little. Although her spirit told her that she could walk into the bathroom from the foyer steps for pre-nap preparations, she was much too winded and discovered this when she transferred from her rocker to the wheelchair to be wheeled to the steps. After the short wheeling she hadn't completely caught her breath and decided, no, let's ramp it up instead of walking. That was fine with me. She was more than ready for a nap, but got caught up in the beginning of the debate and found it hard to let go until I assured her, three times, that we were recording it.
I'm going to let her go until 2100 as far as her nap is concerned. I'm hoping she'll revive a bit. - Although Mom's evening started out typically, by the time bedtime rolled around she had trouble standing so I could pull her slacks over her ass for her leg rub down...she almost sat back on my hands. She decided to use the wheelchair all the way to bed. That was fine. I'm not sure why today has been like it has, but I'm not sure it's important to know why, either.
