Turn Down Day
Movement for 10/19/08:
- The day started promisingly enough, but I think she may have overstayed her first-half-of-the-day welcome, even though she was in good spirits when she went down for a nap. When I awoke her from her nap she was clearly ready to awaken, but was unsure of herself on her feet. I asked her "what is wrong" and, instead of saying, "nothing", which is usual for her, she said, "I don't know." I took a survey of all possible pain points. None checked in. I asked her if she felt as though she had a cold. Her first response was, "No." Upon further thought, though, while I was changing her underwear, she said, "Maybe that's it. Maybe I picked up something."
At any rate, we proceeded, the rest of the evening, in the wheelchair.
I, frankly, think my own turned down mood is affecting her, even though I'm working hard to disguise it. She can usually see through my disguises, though.
In any event we got only one exercise session in today. I didn't bother to suggest any more.
Despite not feeling sure of herself on her feet, she transferred well in the evening.
