Friday

I took Mom to the PCP today. She was hard to keep up with. She is really getting around well, maybe too well. She did get winded by the time we got to the second floor waiting room. We got there 15 minutes early and got in 20 minutes late. Mom had her questions at the ready and the PCP took her off 3 medications and altered another. I could tell he was not happy about the surgeon prescribing an antibiotic as a precautionary treatment. Hopefully the changes will make Mom feel better and less nauseated.

Dad continues to work hard on his exercise program but his legs are not responding and he is losing muscle mass. It is very discouraging especially to him. Chanetta takes him on daily walks but has a wheelchair at the ready. Otherwise he looks healthy and his heart is still in sinus rhythm. His short term memory is suffering more than in the past and he repeats stories more often but engaged in conversation on current events, he is still sharp and lucid.

Cindy and Mike are here and after driving around a while, finally found Mill Creek. They are not the first to get acquainted with Springdale trying to find 126 Rhodes Ave.

God is good.
