5:00-7:00 When I arrived, Rose and Dr. Vesper were napping/watching TV in the living room. Michele and I chatted about the day’s events before she left. Dr. Vesper stated he had an appetite, so I took his dinner order, set the table, and began cooking. Rose slept soundly during the first half of my shift. When dinner was served, she was alert and ate fairly well. Though the going was slow, she completed about 85% of her meal. Dr. Vesper had his usual hearty appetite and we enjoyed good conversation. His blood glucose level prior to eating was 80.
7:00-9:00 The remainder of my shift ran in routine fashion. Rose and Doctor returned to the living room while I cleaned the kitchen and microwave, washed the dishes, and set out breakfast items and morning medications. I gave them their evening medications, then took Rose to the bathroom for her night time toilette. I washed her face and hands, then brushed and flossed her teeth. Fortunately, she allowed me to do a thorough brushing as I could only access a few anterior teeth for flossing. While on the commode she urinated and had a large BM, which started in her Depends. After clean up I got her to bed and applied her eye drops easily. She was snoring immediately after. I waited while Dr. Vesper completed his night time routine, made sure he got in bed safely, and said good night.
Dinner: Salad, broccoli and cheese stuff chicken breast, peas, and toaster corn bread rounds. Rose drank kefir milk and Dr. Vesper had diet cherry 7up. They both had ice cream (Lactaid) for dessert.
