COMMENTS:
I got Rose up and dressed at 10:30, she had her am meds and breakfast. Dr. Vesper was up @ 1045a, had his am meds and breakfast. He watched TV & read in the afternoon. Rose spent most of the day sleeping, another difficult day for feeding her, she did OK until dinner, only finished approximately 3/4 of her meal before going to sleep. I got her ready for bed and all tucked in before starting my normal bedtime routine. Dr. Vesper watched TV while I got Rose into bed and finished cleaning up the kitchen. He then had his p.m. meds and followed his normal routine. After everyone was safely tucked in, I said good night before leaving.

COMMENTS:
I made my usual Tuesday run to Panera‘s for scones, stopped at Meijers for depends and then a quick stop at Kroger‘s for fresh fruits & vegetables. They were sleeping when I arrived, I put away the refrigerated items before getting them up for breakfast. Rose had a shower after breakfast. She was very sleepy this morning which made for a difficult shower, she was asleep before I could get her dressed. After lunch and pm meds, they spent the afternoon watching TV and napping. After dinner I cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes, set out breakfast items & morning meds for tomorrow, gave pm meds and prepared for bedtime routine.

NOTE:
Dinner ran late tonight because Cincinnati Bell didn’t arrive until 4:30 to solve our telephone issue, it was almost 6 when he left, but we now have phone service.

COMMENTS:
I got Rose up and dressed @ 10:30a, she had breakfast and am meds. Dr. Vesper got up at noon, had his morning meds and ate breakfast. After lunch and 2p meds, they watched TV and napped most of the afternoon Dinner, PM meds and bedtime routine all normal.

NOTE:
Rose was very lethargic today, had her eyes closed and mouth open most of the day. Mealtime was difficult, it was hard to get her to open her mouth. It took much longer than normal to get through each meal.

NOTE 2:
I spent a very unproductive day with a couple of tree trimming yahoos. They assured me they had Worker’s Comp. and liability insurance on the phone before they came and I told them they must bring copies with them. They showed up without insurance documentation, I told them they couldn’t start work until I had their insurance information in my hot little hand. They decided one would start cutting while the other went back to get the papers, I said no, no work until papers. One man sat on the ground with his chainsaw while the other went back to get the ins info. When he arrived back with what appeared to be the right forms, after further scrutiny, the Worker’s Comp. expired a year ago and the liability insurance was ensuring someone other than the person cutting down the tree. I said sorry boys no job for you here. I’ll call the village for recommendation tomorrow.

COMMENTS:

I did a few quick chores and started Rose’s breakfast before getting her up @ 10:30, she ate breakfast and had her am meds. Dr. Vesper got up 11a, had am meds and breakfast. After lunch & 2 PM meds, Rose had a shower, followed by her usual nap. I assisted Dr. Vesper with his shower. He spent the rest is f the afternoon watching TV, napping and reading. After dinner, they watched TV while I did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, set out breakfast items and morning meds for tomorrow, p.m. meds and normal bedtime routine.

NOTE:

A1 Pools refilled the cracks in the concrete around the pool and tested the water, no chemicals needed. They were unable to vacuum the pool because the breaker kept tripping and they couldn’t get the cover open. I placed a call to our electrician, but got a recorded message saying he was on vacation until 8/13, I left a message for a callback.
