COMMENTS: I received a phone call yesterday from the trucking company delivering Dr. Vesper‘s new chair. They were scheduled for today between 9 AM and 3 PM, I requested a phone call 30 minutes prior to their arrival, I received a phone call this morning at 8 AM letting me know they were in Georgetown and would be arriving in New Richmond in 30 minutes. I left my house immediately and arrived here about five minutes prior to the delivery. I arrive to find a mess throughout the family room, Kemper had diarrhea and or vomiting during the night in several places. I just barely had enough time to get it cleaned up before the driver arrived with the chair. The driver was very unhappy to be delivering on such a narrow road in his big truck, he got the chair inside without any difficulty, but would not assist with unpacking. Andrew came up after work and helped me get it out of the box and set up. I got Dr. Vesper up after the driver left, he had breakfast and took his AM meds. After breakfast, he had a shave, shower and got dressed.  In the afternoon, he had lunch, exercised and napped while watching TV.  After dinner he watched TV In the comfort of his new chair. He loves his new chair, especially the heat.  I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and prepared morning meds and breakfast setup for tomorrow. Dr. Vesper took his pm meds and prepared for bed.
