Changed his brief and pj bottoms. Used the wheelchair to get to the family room for breakfast.
I saw a car coming in the driveway but it turned down the side to the back of the house. I went to check on it but didn’t see anyone. I called Stephanie to see if she knew the car, than called the police. While on the phone with the police I heard a lawn mower start and checked and it was Sandy who cares for the grounds. I apologized to both Stephanie and the police.
Dr Vesper is weak, he used his wheelchair today. Assist in the restroom. Let him hold the bars while you assist with his briefs.
