8/17/2009

August 17, 2009
Today Dad surprised me by being awake well before 8:30.  Normally he gets up at about 8:30 but when I woke up at 8:11 he was already washed and dressed.  Usually this means he had hallucinations.  Thankfully he was ok, just reading an obituary he got a few days ago.
Overall, 8/17 was a normal day.  I got him his medication plus his two vitamins.  As usually (nowadays) he asked me when he should take the vitamins.  I let him take his 10 AM np and when he woke up at 11 I took his blood pressure before he went to the center for lunch.  His pressure this morning was at first 200/92 then 184/92, then 175/89.  This was all between a five minute period so I let him go to the center.  He usually gets excited when he goes.  Dad usually gets excited in general when he is about to go somewhere.  With the center he is afraid he will not get a seat.  Apparently some of the ladies get there and bum rush the seats so Dad thinks he has to get there early to get a seat.  I got him to relax (for now) and he went for his lunch.
I have to call another lawyer regarding Dad’s financial affairs.    The attorney I tried to contact on Friday has not called me back yet.

I decided to add the Alzheimer’s Association and Cancer Treatment Center on my links.  I hope I did it right.  As I learn more and the more i come in contract with I will add.
