COMMENTS: Dr. Vesper got up at 10:30a, he had his morning meds with breakfast. I gave him a sponge bath and helped him get dressed after breakfast.  He had lunch in the afternoon, exercised, napped and watched TV.  After dinner, he watched a little football, but mostly did a lot of channel surfing. I cleaned up the kitchen and did dishes. I prepared breakfast and a.m. meds for tomorrow.  He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed.

NOTE: Dr. Vesper slid off the edge of the bed this morning, he wasn’t hurt, but he did scratch up both arms just below the elbow, I think on the carpet while trying to get up. His skin is so thin, it doesn’t take much to do damage. Unfortunately, the battery on the lift was dead,which means we had a tough time getting from the floor to the bed. I placed a call to the Lift company and helped was told it would take a full eight hours to fully charge. Also was told we should never unplug it, it will not overcharge and sometimes after a long disconnect, the lift will not recharge.
