I got up a little after 8. Mom was
waiting for her Fosamax. I am not in favor of it, but … So I gave
it to her and some water, but she very quickly became unable to
swallow. I did my exercises, and made veggie juice. I had two
glasses, Dad had one and Mom got a spoonful. I then gave her an
Ensure, which after a while went down really well. So Dad gave me
her pills. She swallowed one and that was it. It was so
frustrating. I made and ate my breakfast, then tried to give her
pills again. I washed my hair and got dressed. Somehow drybrushing
got left out. I checked my phone and there was a missed call so I
googled the number to see if it was a telemarketer and it appeared to
be a personal number but Spokeo would not tell me who unless I paid
them money. I guess if it was important, they would have left a
message. Because I was on the computer, I took a moment to check
e-mail. There were over 200 unread. I tried to feed Mom again, and
she took a few more pills. There was a black cat on TV which
reminded me of a black cat I saw on our walk yesterday. We crossed
its path so I wonder if it will have bad luck? Anyway, as long as
she wasn't swallowing, I decided to take her for a walk. Dad put the
foot rests on the wheelchair, and away we went. We took a longer
route than yesterday, but still it did not seem to take long. Dad
and I talked in the kitchen then, while Mom enjoyed the fresh air.
Then I brought her inside to finish a bottle of Ensure. Kevin
arrived just after 2 with cooked chicken breast. Then I sat out on
the porch with Mom and checked my e-mail. I fed her an Ensure, then
took her to the bathroom. Due to the sudden onset of female
troubles, I had to put on a pair of her disposable underwear. Kevin
brought me a glass of fresh cruciferous juice. I had a taste and fed
the rest to Mom. Then she was done in the bathroom and I brought her
out to the den where Dad was watching TV. I went outside to rescue
my laptop which had run out of battery power. Apparently that outlet
is not powered. Mom asked for her sweet potato to be put in water to
sprout. I listened to an audio, then got out of Kevin's way so he
could clean. When he was done, he chatted with us, I wrote him a
check, and then he went home. I got to talk to William for awhile.
Dad was busy with his Lotus program. He agreed that the curling rug
in the foyer was not needed, so I rolled it up and William put it in
the shed. After he left, Dad and I agreed that it was time for
supper. I fed Mom one last Ensure and her night pills. I put the
kale in water to perk up. I ate an egg, and some cheese. I put some
of the Dr. Fuhrmans vegizest in a shaker and Dad labeled it. I put
some on my veggie casserole, then used some nori to make wraps with
it. I did not notice the taste of the vegizest. I checked e-mail
while Dad continued to eat. Mom asked to go to bed, so I took her to
the bathroom and got her ready for bed. She chose clothes for
tomorrow. Dad put her in the bed and I said goodnight to her. Then
I came out to check for new and urgent e-mail, write to my blog, and go to bed.
