High Plateau (almost) Cold Day
Movement for 11/14/08:
- Despite very evident symptoms of a cold, today, Mom's movement profile almost moved into the High Plateau range. She walked, with environmental and me assist everywhere she's been walking except to the bathroom for bedtime prep and to bed. The only reason she didn't walk these paths was because she was overtaken by a couple of sneezing fits as she attempted to rise from the wheelchair at the foyer steps. I made the decision that the wheelchair would be in order and replaced the ramp on the steps. Her spirit was willing and, probably, her body was, too, because she argued my decision, then, halfway down the hall was overcome by yet another sneezing fit. She doesn't hold her position well when she's sneezing.
Still no walker, but my confidence that she might be using it again is higher.
