COMMENTS:  Elena took care of Kemper and Hillary before I arrived. I got Dr. Vesper up, he had a sponge bath and dressed before breakfast.  He took his morning meds with breakfast. Dr. Vesper did not want to get up this morning, he made it through breakfast and was awake for a very short time before going back to sleep and sleeping the entire day. He didn’t want to get up for dinner until I finally forced the issue at 7p. Naturally, he was wide awake and ready to sit up and watch TV after dinner. I let him sit up a little later than normal, since I still had laundry to finish. I did the dishes and set the table for morning breakfast and a.m. meds. Dr. Vesper took his p.m. meds and prepared for bed.

COMMENTS: Dr. Vesper was up at 10:30, had his morning meds with breakfast. After breakfast I assisted him with shaving, showering and dressing. We left at 1:30 for his appointment with Dr. Seibert, It was a double  appointment, cleaning, x-rays and a temporary crown. We didn’t get home until almost 5p. He was hungry (missed lunch) but his mouth was still very numb, I gave him a Glucerna to hold him over. I waited for the numbness to dissipate before giving him a soft dinner.  Dr. Vesper watched TV until bedtime. I cleared the table, did the dishes and set the table with AM meds and breakfast for tomorrow. He took his p.m. meds and I helped him change into PJs and get into bed.

NOTE: In addition to the dental work that was postponed from last summer, he had lost another crown. Dr. Seibert had to prioritize and do what was necessary to make him comfortable until they could schedule him back in next week.
