COMMENTS:
Rose had a nice hot shower (no more cold water issues), she had a nice long nap was in the afternoon, which gave me time to get lots of chores completed.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast and slept until 3:30p.  He had a protein shake when he got up and wasn’t ready for dinner until almost 7:30.  The rest of the evening ran smoothly, bedtime meds, A.M. Meds and breakfast set up for tomorrow and everyone tucked in.

COMMENTS:
I stopped at Sam’s for a few items, and also picked up dinner at Dewey’s on my way in. Rose & Sandy were just coming out of the bathroom when I arrived.  Dr. Vesper was watching TV, Danny and Tyler were in the man cave watching football and Jessica was starting to pack the car for their drive home tomorrow.  Jessica and Danny had a late lunch and wasn’t ready for dinner, said they would eat later. I warmed up the pizza and got the salads ready so Dr. Vesper and Rose could eat. 5 to 9 is a snap (compared to all day) especially when you do carry out!  Hillary got her medicine and tucked in early. Breakfast and AM meds were prepared for tomorrow morning. Dr. Vesper & Rose had their pm meds and everyone was tucked in long before midnight.

WISHING EVERYONE A HEALTHY & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

COMMENTS:
Rose  tolerated her shower well, except we ran out of hot water for some strange reason at the end of her shower and the water was cold a few seconds before I realized it, the shocked look on her face was priceless.  I felt really bad, but we have never ran out of hot water before, not sure what happened. The rest of the day was all uphill after that, she ate well and was awake and alert most of the afternoon, I’ve heard cold showers will do that.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, I got him up in time to leave for church and the gym, he spent the afternoon reading and watching TV.

NOTE TO CAREGIVERS:
I checked the water a couple of hours after her shower and it was hot, but if there are any more issues with running out of hot water, please let me know so I can call the plumber.

COMMENTS:
Rose was relaxed and awake most of the day (very short nap), she ate very well today.  Dr. Vesper slept in this morning until almost 11a, got up for breakfast and then went back to bed and slept until 4 o’clock.  I had started dinner prep in hopes of an early dinner, but when he got up he was dressed and ready to go to the gym.  He has been very weak the past few days, and he attributed that to not working out this past week while he was sick.  I didn’t think he should be working out (still has a bad cough)  and tried to talk him out of it, but he was determined.  Dinner was ready when he came home at 6P. I had just enough time after dinner to give Rose a manicure before bedtime.

COMMENTS:
Rose was very rigid this morning, dressing was difficult, but she did relax after breakfast. She ate well and had a nice nap in the afternoon.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast and I had a hard time getting him up for church, I’m sure he was at least 10 minutes late. He had an appointment with Dr. Adams (podiatrist) after church and then came home without going to the gym. He complained that he was still very weak, also his cough is still pretty bad.

COMMENTS:
Rose had a quiet and peaceful day, very relaxed, which gave me some Christmas picking up and putting away time. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, but got up in time to go to church. He decided not to go to the gym afterwards, still not up to par. He spent the afternoon reading and watching TV. Jessica was out for the evening, we made do with a few leftovers and a couple of new sides. Made it to bed fairly on time for a change.
