Still Smiling!

I was so excited about the good news yesterday that I could not sleep last night!  I was too busy packing in my mind.  Today I have begun to settle a little..............still smiling though!

Lee had a very good day at The Center for the Living.  I dropped him off at 12:30, returned to the condo, almost asleep as I was entertaining thoughts for a good nap.  Moments after lying down, I remembered that Lee and I had not only forgotton to check his blood sugar before his lunch, he had not had his insulin!  (We did have some interference because the nurse came and changed the dressing on his PICC line and we just became distracted.)  Anyway, I gathered the monitor and the syringe and the insulin and headed back to the CFL. 

Lee was on the floor doing the "floor exercises" and they use weights on their arms and legs.  I waited until that session ended and proceeded to give him his insulin.  I left immediately because this nap was still possible.  I arrived at the condo only to remember that our neighbors wanted to share their supper and decided to make a pie.  Nap was still on hold.  By the time the pie was done, it was time to pick Lee up at the CFL @ 4:00.

When I got there he told me that during his walk, he did walk without the rolator, however; he just felt like his legs had weights on them.  He continued walking and from there went to the stair for practice.  He told the therapist that he was having some difficulty today because he just felt like he had weights on his legs.  She promptly lifted his trousers and said, " Well, that is because you do have weights on your legs!"  He had forgotten to remove his weights after the floor exercises!  Guess I distracted him from his routine when I stopped in to give him his Insulin.

As you can see, it doesn't take much to distract us from our now very normal routines. I suppose age has a way of doing that to you.  All in all, we manage very well and the light at the end of the tunnel is glowing brightly.    YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Never did get that nap...................tomorrow maybe............................

More Later......................................Brenda
