Almost a Sleep Day
Movement for 11/10/08:
- Now that I look back on this day from the vantage point of a bit over 24 hours later, I think she was probably coming down with the cold that overtook her on the afternoon and evening of Veteran's Day. On this day, though, the 10th, she started out pretty good: Walked into the bathroom from her bedroom, into the dinette from the bathroom, around the table and down the steps to the wheelchair while moving to her rocker in the livingroom, and, as we've been doing lately, we wheeled her from her rocker into the bathroom for pre-nap prep, then into the bedroom for her nap.
The "trouble" started when she didn't want to get up after her nap. It was clear that she wasn't feeling good, so we fashioned a bedroom night, including dinner served to her as she sat on the edge of her bed. Once she got going, though, she revived. Although movement for the evening involved only two trips to the bathroom, her usual after nap and before bed trips, and the wheelchair was utilized for both, she transferred well and even managed to stay up long enough to put in an 8.5 hour day.
