Sluggish
Movement for December 1, 2008:
- The only walking she did, today, was from the dinette around the table after breakfast and down the dinette steps to the wheelchair to be wheeled to the rocker. I had decided to insist on wheeling her from the bedroom after sleep sessions, but I didn't need to insist, that was fine with her. She was pretty iffy trekking around the table. I think it's because of the feet and leg edema, which I decided to address, tonight, with 10 mg furosemide after it increased significantly throughout the day. Fluid retention may have been part of the problem with her breathing over the last few days, although she didn't appear to be swollen throughout her belly or in her face until tonight. It will take the fluid off slowly but surely. If necessary, I'll give her another 10 mg tomorrow, sometime.
