This was a fairly good day for Jeri. When I arrived at the hospital shortly after eight and she was up and getting ready for breakfast.
There was a new CNA on the job this morning and he is young and big and strong; Jeri said she feels safe when he is helping her because she thinks he is strong enough to hold her up and carry her to her bed, and that gives her a sense of security.
We went for a stroll around the facility for a few minutes and then Jeri was ready to go back into her room and rest until it was time for her get ready for dialysis. She received the needed meds and her lunch, which she judged to be good so she didn't want me to get her any food from another source.
She had a conversation with Dr. Morris (he is a doctor at dialysis) and he gave her a prescription for all of the medodrine she needs to keep her blood pressure where it aught to be. It seemed to me that she had a fairly good day at dialysis.
When she arrived back to the hospital she returned to her bed for a short time and a inhalation therapist came and gave her another shot to her lungs, which is really helping, and then we went for another stroll; she likes to slowly go around the first floor and see what is going on. Shortly before six her supper was brought to her and it looked pretty good to me. I fixed her Thalidomide so no one else would have to handle it.
