Holding Below High Plateau
Movement for 11/15/08:
- Mom's "morning" proceeded as usual. When she awoke from her nap she walked into the bathroom, but there was something about the way she was negotiating the hall that led me to believe that the wheelchair was in order for the rest of the evening. When I brought it in, after post-nap prep, she settled into it and said, "Ah, that's nice," so I guess I was right.
- Last night and tonight she was not interested in standing so I could pull her slacks down for her evening full leg rub, so I did my best underneath her slacks on her lower legs.
- Today, when she awoke for the day, she complained of her shoulders being unusually tight. I tried massage, which didn't seem to work, but scratching her entire back lightly for about 10 minutes did. I think we'll be incorporating this into her routine, now.
