COMMENTS: I did chores before getting Dr. Vesper up this morning.  He ate breakfast and took a.m. meds. After breakfast I gave Dr. Vesper a shave/shower and helped him get dressed. In the afternoon, he had lunch, watched TV, did exercise and napped. After dinner, he watched TV until bedtime. I set the table for breakfast and morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed.

NOTE: Dr. Vesper was on his side of the bed this morning, all bedding and pajamas were dry, only underwear wet. A little early to tell, but I think Mossy and the pool noodle might have won this round. I cruised Amazon today in search of incontinence products and I found a couple items I think may help our situation, I want to do a little more research before ordering.

COMMENTS:  I took care of Kemper and Hillary and emptied litter box.  I got Dr. Vesper up a little earlier than usual so I could get started on shampooing the carpet and mattress. He had morning meds with breakfast. He had a sponge bath and dressed after breakfast. In the afternoon, I had to go to IGA to get more shampoo and decided to pick up sandwiches at Front Street Cafe while I was out. After a short lunch break, Dr. Vesper relaxed and watched TV while I finished the shampooing. We did an abbreviated version of exercise before dinner. Dr. Vesper watched TV while I did the dishes and set the table for morning breakfast and a.m. meds. Dr. Vesper took his p.m. meds and prepared for bed. He got to bed a little later than usual, we had to wait for the mattress to dry before I could put the sheets back on. The carpet was still damp, but should be completely dry by morning.

COMMENTS:  Elena fed Kemper and Hillary while I did the grocery shopping. I got Dr. Vesper up, he had morning meds with breakfast. While he ate breakfast, I carried in the groceries and put everything away. He had a sponge bath and dressed after breakfast. Elena helped me get the new 6-sided waterproof mattress cover on. It was a pain to get on (like a large bag with a zipper) but it will be worth the effort. In the afternoon, Dr. Vesper had lunch, did his exercise and watched TV. I finished up a few chores before preparing dinner. Dr. Vesper did a great job cleaning his plate and giving a good glucose reading-115.
