American Home Health (Alex Birch)  –  Physical therapy evaluation

COMMENTS:  Dr. Vesper got up around 11:15, he took his a.m. meds with breakfast.  After breakfast, he read and watched TV until mid afternoon.  He wasn’t in the mood for a full shower, but we did a complete sponge bath and dressed before Alex arrived around 4:30. Alex was his therapist when he first came home from the hospital in August 2017.   After a short catch up and pleasantries, Alex did a thorough evaluation, gave him three specific exercises to do twice daily,  set up a schedule  to see him twice a week, usually Tuesday/Thursday, this week will be Tuesday/Friday. Dr. Vesper will be expected to do designated exercises, with my assistance the remaining five days. His eval showed good strength, but lacking in endurance.  Alex and I will be working to improve his endurance over the next nine weeks. It was almost 6 PM when Alex left. I made a salad and warmed up leftovers for dinner. After dinner He relaxed and watched TV. I prepared morning meds for tomorrow and set the table for breakfast.

COMMENTS:
Dr. Vesper was up at 9:30, ate breakfast & took morning meds. After breakfast, I helped him get ready for his doctor appointments.  First was a 2 hour dental appointment for a crown, followed by an appointment with the Podiotrist.  We missed lunch, but he had a glucerna when we got home. He opened his mail, read the WSJ and snoozed a bit while I did laundry and started dinner.  After dinner he watched a little TV before deciding to turn in early.  It was an exhausting day for him, and it was our first really cold day in a while, not a good day to be out.  I set the table for breakfast and prepared morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and I helped him get ready for bed.
