Wheeling on the Plateau
Movement for 10/17/08:
- Maybe it was the flu shot she received today...or maybe it was the reverse placebo effect of the flu shot: My mother expects for react to flu shots, so she does. At any rate, after breakfast, when we moved into the living room, she was noticeably shaky and feeling unsure of herself on her feet, although she walked and walkered to the rocker as usual. After her nap, though, she just didn't feel up to walking and grasped the possibility of using the wheel chair with gusto. I was fine with that, especially since she'd had a four hour nap, which is unusual for her. We ended the "day" wheeling her into the bathroom and bedroom, even though, when it was time for bed, she insisted that she could "take the steps". Once she got to the steps, though, they looked daunting, so I quickly whipped out the ramp and away we wheeled. She was clearly very tired by the time she made it to the bed.
