Last night was the first night Mom took her new medicine to calm her down. Yeah, right! Apparently, it does not have an immediate effect.
She was, once again, up all night long and not only up, but very active. She jabbered all night long, but in a voice twice as loud as usual. She was also all over the bed. At least three times, she put her legs through the railing and then tried to get the rest of her body through there. I had to get up to “unstick” her.
At one point she had moved so much, her feet were on her pillow and her head was where her feet should be.
She tried to slide out through the bottom of the bed, but I had the foresight to put a chair on one corner and her bedside table on the other.
Wow… I get tired out just thinking of her efforts. This morning about 9:30, she fell and sprained her left thumb – amazingly the first time she’s ever really hurt herself falling. The nurse came to see her this afternoon and said about the only thing we could do was put ice on it. Knowing Mom, she won’t have any of that – she is always too cold. Her blood pressure was great and her heartbeat was steady.
I’m just glad she didn’t hurt herself worse. She still gets up and walks whenever she wants, even though I have asked her not to.
Please keep us in your prayers. Thanks…
Until next time…
