Sunday with Dad

This morning I awoke and found Dad in the easy chair with the afgan over him. He continued to sleep while I drank some coffee. When I took him to the bathroom I noticed the toilet had been used. Not sure if he used during the night or when Bettie was there.

Dad said that He had lost his......[I don't think he could think of the right word, so he looked down at this plate] and then said...bacon! He does that a lot. I know it must have been something important to him though. He also said he cousin lost his... bacon as well! He said it was his cousin on his mother's side, so I assume the cousin must be older than Dad.

I just got back from afternoon spent with Suzie. We went shopping for a few items. Then we went to my house and I looked at a Barbie doll clothes pattern and figured out what to buy at store. Then we went to the park. Suzie read a book and I jogged. Then we fed the ducks there.

When I got back Bettie reported that Dad walked around a lot. He also talked a lot. He worked on his hidden object puzzle and colored in the objects. He seemed to pick out quite a few objects.

Dad is now watching a football game and we will have leftovers and some pizza.

Bettie's Report on November 10

Bettie stayed with Dad while I went to exercise class, took an afternoon nap and went to a pops concert featuring Amy Grant and the Winston-Salem Symphony.

Dad walked around the house a lot she said. (for some reason he never does that with me--just basically sits in the chair).

They worked on some Hidden pictures puzzle. Bettie said they were too hard for both her and Dad. They did find a few and Dad colored the pictures.

Bettie reported that Dad didn't eat much for dinner. She saved the leftovers--about 1/2 serving of tomatoes and okra and some pork.

Visit by Nurse

I received a call from Rene Russell, the Bayada nurse this morning. She had to come early for the visit due to other commitments. She reports that Dad is doing well, no changes apparent. His temperature is 96.7, heartbeat 60-regular, blood pressure 124/72. She gave him his B12 shot. Rene expects to return for the next visit on December 4th.

Halloween at Dad's House

I had the Halloween Lunch today with Dad and Ilene. The menu included hangman's chicken (the chicken bone was sticking up out of the chicken piece like a tree, with a little string noose attached). Dad had the Ghostly Goulash. There was also Brains (molded corn), sweet potato cakes shaped like pumpkins, light rolls shaped like a cat and a witches hat. Fun!

I removed the seeds from the pumpkin and attempted to make some toasted seeds, which I burned slightly. Ilene will finish up the pumpkin and place the light inside.

Dad's Weekend

Bettie stayed with Dad most of Saturday. I helped Suzie make her Olive Oyl costume. We picked up some clothes at Goodwill. Suzie covered some old boots with brown cloth and buttons to simulate her "big" boots.

Dad and Bettie watched the Panthers game on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Panthers lost. On Sunday evening we had some pizza and salad after I got back from the symphony.

I noticed that Dad had not had a bowel movement, so asked him if he had to go to the bathroom. He said no, but made a lot of farting sounds, and soon he realized one was too much. I took him to the bathroom and he had some loose stools in his briefs.

The rest of the weekend went okay. We did some yoga today. Dad did a lot of arm stretching and touching of his toes.
