Still on the Level
Movement for 10/21/08:
- Mom performed at plateau standard, today, although she was slow and tired and iffy on her feet. I think we're going to be switching over to spit bowl teeth brushing completely and permanently, because she always gets a lower back ache when she brushes her teeth at night standing at the sink. It was especially obvious last night. Although she usually hates to do this at night (this is how she brushes her teeth in the "morning", though), when her back was obviously bothering her last night, once she was sitting on the edge of the bed I suggested that maybe it was time to forget about standing at the sink at night. "I think you may be right," she said, rubbing her lower back. I imagine, during evenings when she feels especially good and strong, she'll insist on standing at the sink, but I'm thinking those evenings will be fewer and farther between, from now on. Got in only 1.25 exercise sessions; which means, at night, I was only able to coax her into doing the ankle rocking, nothing else.
