COMMENTS: I went in at 10:50 a.m. To wake Dr. Vesper up. He said he wanted to rest a little longer. So I told him I’d be back in about 20 minutes. I returned at about 11:20. I said, ok. It’s time to get up. Mossy just called. She wants you up and he said well Mossy is not here today. So I want another 30 minutes 🙂 He wasn’t actually sleeping either time I went in. He was just laying there with his eyes open. So I decided to allow him the extra time because it didn’t matter if he was lying with his eyes open in the bed or in his recliner. Finally at 11:50. He agreed to get up but choose to use the wheel chair this morning. After breakfast, into the LR. He is doing well today, alert, not sleepy but his urinal was only about 1/8 of the way full and his brief was completely dry. At his afternoon restroom break he was going to walk but before even getting off the LR carpet he decided to ride.

At first Dr. Vesper refused to go to the restroom in the afternoon. I told him ok we would wait awhile. When approached again he gave me a polite but firm no thank you.
