COMMENTS: I ran errands on my way in this morning. I took care of Hillary and Kemper when I arrived. I got Dr. Vesper up, he had breakfast and took his morning meds. I did chores while he relaxed.   Dr. Vesper had a shave and a shower before lunch then relaxed for a bit before exercise.  He watched TV while I prepared dinner. After dinner he watched the Trump rally until the TV, Internet and phones all went out. We waited a while for it to come back on, but he lost patience and decided to go to bed. I prepared morning meds and breakfast setup for tomorrow.  Dr. Vesper took his pm meds and prepared for bed.

Dr. Vesper got up at 10:45a, he had his morning meds with breakfast. He got a sponge bath and dressed after breakfast. We did an abbreviated version of exercise before leaving for the dentist for his routine six month cleaning. He had a late lunch and a little more exercise when we got back from the dentist. Dr. Vesper relaxed and watch TV while I prepare dinner.
 After dinner, he watched TV while 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. Vespers’s dental appointment today was for a cleaning only. Unfortunately the dentist found a couple teeth that need immediate attention, the whole side of the tooth has broken off and not much left besides a very large filling.

COMMENTS: Dr. Vesper got up at 10:30, he had his morning meds with breakfast and read the newspaper. After breakfast,  I gave Dr. Vesper a sponge bath and helped him get dressed. He did his exercise in the afternoon, followed by a late lunch.  He was watching the last day of the U.S. Open when he suddenly got a severe case of chills. I covered him with a blanket and had to turn the fireplace on before he was able to recover. Stephanie called around noon and asked me to bring her dad to her house for dinner tonight. He relaxed and watched the rest of the U.S. Open while I made a blueberry cobbler for dinner.  We left the house around 6:30, had a delicious chicken dinner and celebrated Father’s Day with two really great dad. We left just as the thunder and lightning picked up again, in hopes of beating the storm home, but we got stuck in heavy duty rain. Dr. Vesper was pretty tired and ready to go to bed as soon as we got home, he had been weaker than normal since his episode with the chills in the afternoon. He has a dental appointment tomorrow, hoping he has a better day. I prepared breakfast and a.m. meds for tomorrow.  He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed.

COMMENTS: I took care of Kemper & Hillary and started chores before getting Dr. Vesper up. He was completely soaked, including the top and bottom sheets because he had rolled up in the top sheet and moved to the other side of the bed, off the pad. He got a complete sponge bath and clean/dry clothes before breakfast. He ate breakfast and took his morning meds, I did laundry and started dinner while he opened his mail, watched TV and napped. After dinner he watched TV.  I set the table for breakfast and prepared morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and I helped him get ready for bed.

NOTE: Dr. Vesper was very sleepy this morning and didn’t want to get up, I finally got him up a few minutes before noon. Because he was wet, it was necessary to get him cleaned up before breakfast. He ate his cereal, but not the scone or coffee, before falling asleep. I warmed up his coffee and scone later when he woke up.
