We scheduled his next (4) appointments, which have been posted to the calendar. He had breakfast as soon as we return home, along with his a.m. meds.  Elena  arrived just as we were leaving, I took a few minutes to instruct her on the rather unpleasant chore  of cleaning the bathroom (Hillary suite), after the sewer back up last week, I wanted to make sure she was aware of the situation and that she took safety precautions, such as wearing gloves while sanitizing and cleaning.  After breakfast and reading, Dr. Vesper took a long nap.  Jessica and Tyler were out for the afternoon, a little longer than They planned, had a flat tire. Jeannie  came for a couple of hours in the afternoon to pay a few bills. Jessica and I pulled dinner together  after she and Tyler got home.  Dr. Vesper watched TV until bedtime, which was much later than usual because he wanted to finish watching a TV program.  He took his p.m. meds and I helped him get ready for bed.

COMMENTS:
I came in today because Dr. Vesper had a followup appointment with Dr. Wilson. When I arrived he was at the table having breakfast, Jessica had assisted him and made his coffee. After he finished breakfast, I got him into the shower and ready for his appointment.  Dr. Wilson was concerned about his mobility and ordered both physical and occupational therapy to start in January. Dr. Wilson was also concerned about his  hand tremors, with  Parkinson’s and his family, he tested Dr. Vesper, and said that he didn’t believe it was  Parkinson’s related.  It was almost 3:30 when we arrived back home. I gave him a light lunch since Susan would be arriving soon and would be preparing dinner.

COMMENTS:
Dr. Vesper was up at 10:15, had his usual breakfast and did his reading.  He appeared to be finished, but sat at the table for a long time with his head down.  I didn’t disturb him because he is sometimes saying his rosary when he appears to be sleeping.  We did a good round of exercise in the afternoon. He didn’t really take a nap, but dozed off a few times. In between meals, he watched TV. I gave him his p.m. meds before he went to bed
