"Coldish" Day
Movement for 12/3/08:
- Another sluggish day, swollen feet, unusually high BGs regardless of me watching her diet like a hawk; she also complained of feeling "coldish", which she hasn't over the last few days. She was definitely sluggish, but decided to move a bit more than she has in the last few days, saying she felt she "should". Since her movement profile has been so low, lately, it could be said that her movement improved, today, because she walked into the bathroom from the bedroom before breakfast and walked through the dinette and down the dinette steps while heading for her rocker after breakfast. In the evening she gave it the good old college try after her nap when we were due to head into the bathroom but, after standing and trying to take a few steps, she complained that "[her] legs don't feel like [her] own" and I encouraged her to sit back down so we could use the wheelchair. As the evening progressed she had some difficulty standing momentarily for me to remove her pants for her leg rubdown. She transferred fairly well throughout the day, though, with a few blips along the way.
