COMMENTS: I arrived early this morning, because of the weather forecast. The sirens were going off as I arrived, the high winds and rain started as I was coming in, but it blew through so quickly I didn’t have time to get Dr. Vesper out of bed. After taking care of Hillary and Kemper, I started chores. I went to the bedroom to check on Dr. Vesper and found him on the floor. I first assumed he had fallen out of bed, but not really sure. His head was at the foot of the bed, with his his feet at the head of the bed. His walker was only slightly moved. He could have gotten out of bed and then fallen, but I think he simply fell out of bed, he sleeps very close to the edge of the bed. He did not remember how he got on the floor. He had no cuts, bumps or bruises. It was tough getting him up because of the tight quarters, but I was able to maneuver him into a sitting position and helped him use the bed to get up. I used the transport chair instead of the walker for the next couple of hours, just in case it was a vertigo issue. I observed no issues the balance of the day. He ate breakfast and took morning meds. After breakfast he relaxed for about 45 minutes before doing sitting exercises only.  I gave Dr. Vesper a sponge bath and helped him get dressed. I made lunch, he ate and then took a short nap. After dinner, he watch TV until bedtime. I did dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, set the table for breakfast and morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed. I made sure he was closer to the middle of the bed, but that will only work until the first time he needs to use the urinal.
