COMMENTS: Mossy called to say she would be stopping by. I told Dr. Vesper and he was out of bed by 10:40 🙂
1:10 restroom assist, changed brief and pj bottoms. 3:15 rr assist and aided with changing clothes. He shut the bathroom door and locked me out. I don’t know if was accidentally but I will be the one shutting the door in the future because there have been times he needed help getting up from the toliet.
Rr assist 4:14.
Watching tv most of the afternoon. No nap today.
The bathroom door sometimes locks itself. If you open the bathroom door too hard, the door knob can hit the closet door knob, which lines up perfectly with the lock button. Always walk in the bathroom with Dr. Vesper, all the way to the commode. If you’re behind him, he can’t close the door. This allows you to leave the door slightly ajar when you exit the bathroom, so you can monitor his movement from the hallway. In the event you still find yourself locked out of the bathroom, there is a key over the bathroom door. Because of the hard surfaces, I consider this one of the most dangerous rooms in the house, never disallow yourself access.
I do walk in with him. But in the future I will do as you suggest. Thank you for the info.
