COMMENTS:  I came in a little early this morning, in order to get a urine sample from Dr. Vesper. His urine has been very dark and infrequent this week. I talked to Dr. Wilson’s office yesterday and they thought they should do a urine analysis. I stopped this morning and picked up a specimen cup and came straight here to get a sample and take it back to the office. after finding glucose in the urine, Dr. Wilson decided he needed another specimen on Monday and a personal exam. When I arrived back at the house, I fed the animals and then got Dr. Vesper up, he ate breakfast and took a.m. meds. After breakfast I gave Dr. Vesper a complete sponge bath and helped him get dressed. He had lunch, watched TV, did exercise and napped while I finished chores and did laundry. 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.
