Short Plateau
Movement for 10/16/08:
- I had a hell of a time getting Mom up. I started at 1300, thinking maybe I could "trick" her into awakening an hour before her 12 hour sleep mark (actually, an hour and 15 minutes). I'm not sure she even heard me try. So I gave up and tried again at 1415. That was a bust, as well, although she did rouse, but only enough to tell me to "come back later". I came back at 1500. I thought it was going to turn into another champion sleep day, but I was wrong. She was ready to arise at 1500. Movement-wise, we were back at the plateau, although she complained of overall stiffness (I wonder why?!?!). She agreed to take a 325 mg acetaminophen at breakfast, but I forgot it. When I remembered, after breakfast, she no longer ached or was stiff, so we tabled it. She's down for her nap, now, and, so far, the day has gone as usual during this plateau: One exercise session and only one wheeling, from the rocker to the foyer steps. Otherwise, she's stepping smartly.
- The day continued as a usual plateau day.
