Monday, June 10, 2019

5:00-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was relaxing in his recliner watching TV.  While he perused his mail, Stephanie brought me up to speed on the day’s events.  It was a quiet start to my shift which continued through the evening.  When it was dinner time, I took his order and began cooking.  He received a call from his sister, Mary, just before dinner was served.  When they were finished chatting, he came to the table and enjoyed a hearty appetite.

7:00-9:00     After dinner, Dr. Vesper returned to the living room while I cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, took out trash, and set out breakfast items and morning medications.  At bedtime I gave him his evening medications and waited while he performed his night time routine.  I helped him into bed, tucked him in, and said good night.

Dinner:     Salad, baked lemon-pepper tilapia, peas, wild rice, toaster corn bread round, diet cherry 7up, and ice cream (Lactaid)
