Dad had an active weekend

Dad had an active weekend (After an active week-Ilene asked if his medication had been changed). We spend Saturday afternoon at my house. Dad watched some golf. Then we went back to his house for a chicken enchilada and snapper meal. We watched an Iwo Jima movie about the men who raised the flag.

Sunday Bettie watched Dad. I told him I would be back at 9 p.m.-he was wide awake (Sometimes he is asleep when I get back at that time) . Bettie said he was very active walking around, getting cheese out of the refrigerator, etc. Dad started talking a lot, asking all kinds of questions--He kept asking how much the electric bill was. He actually got up and turned off the lamp in the living room, as well as the light over the dining room table.

On Monday Dad had gotten up in the middle of the night and left the toilet seat up. He was sitting at the end of the bed watching TV. (Usually he stays in bed until I get him up). He seemed more alert than he has been recently. Plus he was getting around a lot without his cane.

When we got to the podiatrist he told the assistant that his wife had died. He seemed to think it was just a few days ago though. We talked about the upcoming trip to Florida. I hope he enjoys seeing Jennie and Anice and my cousins.

Panthers Win this Weekend

On Saturday we had a nice fish meal from the dining hall.

It was exciting to watch the Panthers beat Atlanta on Sunday evening. Dad followed the game fairly well. We had Pizza and salad with ice cream for dessert.

This morning Dad woke up. He said he wanted to "mustard" his money, not sure what that means.

Dad put together some simple puzzles last week. His favorite one was "Santa Claus" according to Ilene.

Dad's Wednesday

I woke up and took Dad to the Senior Services before lunch. Then I went to my yoga class.

At dinner time I took off work and picked up Dad and the dinner at the dining hall. Dad had fish with shrimp, potatoes, tomatoes, and zucchini. I had the pork fried rice with eggroll and Dad's leftovers. Jack Hughes across the street came over for dessert. They had apple cobbler and I had some fancy apple and walnut dessert.

Suzie and Jacob came over about 7:30 and watched Dad until I could come back from work.

This morning went quickly. After breakfast Ilene came by. I then went out for a jog. I came back and talked awhile with Ilene. She plans to make a fall wreath.

Dad's Weekend

Not much happened on Saturday. After a rainy Friday it was very sunny.

On Sunday Dad and I did some yoga in the morning. He sits in the chair and moves his arms up. In the afternoon I went to the symphony. When I came back I fixed my favorite Sunday night meal--Pizza! There was cheesecake as well, leftover from noon dinner that Dad and Bettie ate.

Monday morning Dad got up before me and walked around; he even went into the computer room (which he never does) and looked outside. Then he peeked in my room. but I couldn't quite make myself wake up. When I got up he was sitting in the dining room looking out the window. He was watching the Monday morning traffic on the main road. He said he was waiting for "the army to show up".

Visit from Bayada

I received a phone message from the Bayada nurse who visited Dad this week. She reports that all is fine. She gave him the B12 shot, took his readings - all good. She examined the swollen area on his arm and reports no change, no redness and no soreness or pain, so there is no concern. He has a rash on this back, which is being treated with powder. She will return on October 9th at 10am.
