COMMENTS:
Rose appeared to be in pain when I tried to get her up this morning, even yelled at me to stop. Since it was shower day, I got her up onto the shower/commode chair, she got immediate relief when she was able to pass some gas, and then had a very large and loose BM. She was very uncomfortable while I was trying to get her dressed after her shower, but once she was dressed she was ok, the rest of the day went well. Dr. Vesper went to the gym after church today, which was the first time since spring, I think he was a little disappointed with his performance. He spent a couple of hours reading a new book his sister gave him for his birthday, and then decided to take a very late nap at 6 PM, dinner was not served until 8 PM. Jessica helped out by doing the dishes while I got Rose ready for bed.

NOTE:
I called Culligan water softener, they were able to walk me through resetting and regenerating the water softener, which solved the problem, however we will not have soft water until we empty the water that is currently in the hot water heater.

COMMENTS:
Rose was a happy camper today, she wasn’t talkative, but happy and relaxed. She sat in her chair for a couple hours, but didn’t go to sleep, she listen to music left the afternoon. It was a beautiful day with very low humidity, we sat outside and enjoy the pleasant weather for while in the afternoon. We had a late dinner tonight because Dr. Vesper had a planning commission meeting in the village at 6 PM, the meeting ran late and he didn’t get home until almost 8:30 PM, fortunately we had a dish that simmered well.

COMMENTS:
Rose was somewhat quiet today, but relaxed, she had a late nap just before dinner. Dr. Vesper was ready for church when I arrived this morning, he spent the next hour reading the WSJ, which I bought, and then left for church. He returned home after church, unlike other days, he did not change out of his dress clothes. He stayed inside all afternoon, took a nap, but mostly watch TV.

COMMENTS:
Rose was very rigid in the a.m., she was pulling her head backwards to the point of almost looking at the ceiling. I gave her breakfast before her shower, trying to give her time to relax. I gave her Xanax a little early in order to make bathing possible. After her shower she was much more relaxed, cheerful and happy. Rose had a nice long nap in the afternoon, she was much quieter after her nap, but still relaxed.

Jessica had sent me a text earlier saying Dr. Vesper had been up, ate his breakfast and went back to bed. He didn’t take his morning meds, or give Rose hers, Jessica gave Rose her morning meds at 9:45. When I arrived Dr. Vesper was mowing the lawn and his pill cops were empty.

COMMENTS:
Rose  had a pretty average day, she napped in her chair until dinner. Since I’m  going to be off  for a (4) day weekend,  I moved Roses normal Friday shower to Thursday night.  Rose was in the middle of a BM when I undressed her in preparation for her shower,  requiring a major bathroom clean up, which also required washing the lift straps and hanging in shower to dry.

The very large tree crossing the driveway behind the middle school was cleared away today by Tuke landscaping.
