Climbing Lower
Movement for 11/26/08:
- Because of the way Mom's day pre-started (see today's post over at The Dailies) I thought today was going to be mainly a sleep day but, even though Mom's day started later than usual, she was up for a full 9.5 hours, just about average. Her movement for the day involved her "new" average, as well. Her initial rising involved the wheelchair, completely, from bed to bathroom and back to bed. But, after her "real" arising she chose to walk into the bathroom and performed fairly well. She chose the wheelchair to the dinette. Then chose to walk, as much as she usually does, minus the open space between the bottom of the dinette steps and the rocker, to the living room.
After that it was wheelchair to bed for her nap; walking to the bathroom after her nap, with some hesitation but doing pretty well. Wheelchair the rest of the evening, EXCEPT, and this is notable, she decided she wanted to walk from the bathroom into the bedroom. She faltered a bit but was determined, and was clearly ready to sit when the bed loomed. Good for her.
