Today, Mom got up late (about 9 am), ate a pretty good breakfast, sat in her recliner and went to sleep. She woke up hungry around 3:30, so we had an early dinner, after which we watched Glenn Beck. Shortly after that, she went to sleep in her chair again. She went in to bed about 7 pm.
Although she still looks better than she did in the hospital, she seemed very tired today. I wonder why ---> Before last night, she had been awake for hours and hours.
She has been regularly taking her medicine, though we have had some incidents where she tried to spit out her heart capsule. Directions say that this capsule must be taken in its entirety; it may not be crushed and put in her Dan-Activ like the rest of her medicine.
She seemed even more confused today than normal and it was very difficult to understand anything she said.
Maybe tomorrow, after so much sleep, she’ll be doing better.
I did decide to cancel the lady who was coming to bathe Mom. It seems crazy to have someone drive here for less than 1/2 hour of work. I also like to get Mom cleaned up early in the morning and the lady doing the work didn’t come until 2 pm. Because Mom gets up at different times every day, it’s difficult to set an early time for the aide to come.
Well, I guess it’s time for me to get to sleep, in case Mom wakes up really early.
Until next time…
