Physical:
For someone who hasn't the strength to stand alone, he certainly pulls off some amazing (and frightening) feats.
Sunday was a fairly good day. The dialysis was off, due to my negligance. But, it ran smoothly and I stopped it approximately half way. I got him up and dressed just as DSS got here, so DH ended up sitting in his chair around 6 hours. He also ate surprisngly well. He had a bowl of grapes and watermelon; then a small bag of Cheetos; then 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. He asked for a 3rd, but I told him dinner was in the works. He ate 2 (smallish) servings of meatloaf and mashed potatoes. By 7:30 he was starting to doze and exhausted, so I took him back to bed .. and by 8:00 he was sound asleep.
At 12:30ish he woke up. And, of course, so did I. He was sitting up (albeit holding on to the railings) with his feet hanging off the end of the bed where the railings stopped. Scared me good!! He had decided to get up and explore the room. I persuaded him to lay back down; and I know he slept at least off and on, if not soundly, until very early morning. I, of course, did not. :(
People
DSS and TGF and the 2 little boys came over. She helped me get my cell phone programmed; and also got a new cordless phone set up (old one was dieing, would no longer hold a charge). She forgot part of what she needed to cook so we went to the store and then grabbed some burgers for the kids (lunch). Naturallly, I paid for everything. Everything ran too late, so we didn't get the shopping done that we intended - which means we will run out of things before next
Emotions:
I'm weepy again; but that's at least in part because I'm tired again. At 4:30 I quit trying to sleep, and turned on the news, got some coffee, and did a bit of handwork on a sewing project. I tried to doze again around 5:30, but no luck. At 6:20 I gave up and got up, ; and another day has started.
