Visiting Days
Movement for 10/8 - 10/10/08:
- MPS visited from early 10/08 through early 10/10. Mom moved very much as in the previous post every day: Into the bathroom on her own after night sleep and naps, into the dinette on her own, into the living room after breakfast on her own and using the walker, in the wheel chair between the rocker and the foyer steps, up the steps on her own and into the bathroom before bed. The only difference was Thursday night, when she had some difficulty breathing, I gave her 10 mg furosemide because she appeared to be retaining water in her chest, and I wheeled her into the bathroom, although she decided to walk into bed on her own (within environmental and me support assumed whenever I write "on her own").
- We didn't start the PT exercises until yesterday. She did two sessions yesterday. She does them easily and well, except that she isn't particularly slow on the leg raises, so we're working on that.
