another marker day
John has had a very hard time getting around. His gait is off and his right foot barely comes off the floor. He's also slept most of the day. This is a first. breakfast/TV/nap/lunch/nap/visit with Mama /nap/dinner/news/nap/TV/bed
And this is snoring sleep, not just resting with his eyes closed.
The nurse came this morning. John's blood pressure was 130/80; lungs clear. She was surprised at how large the bulge has grown. We think a detachable shower head would help along with the shower chair. The nurse is bringing us one tomorrow along with more non-stick pads. larger ones
I also asked for a handicap parking permit. John agreed we walked too far at Publix the other day.
**interesting side note: temporary car tags are $15; permanent ones are free**
Mama came over for a few hours. An old friend from church brought over eggs and muffins. She was volunteering with the local thrift store that also gives away food.
Mama asked John if he ever uses his walker and he told her no. He said he might need it one day.
sooner than we all know
