Homebound
William's new schedule. William is now home bound. I do not take him out. It has been summer and miserably hot here is Texas. He is refusing the pool workout. So no pool for the summer. I may try again after the kids go back to school. But, it depends on William. He gets so ugly when he does not want to do something. I fortunately go to the gym every morning by 5 A M. I get my swimming done and yoga. I usually get a 3 hour respite from caregiving. I get home and take the dogs to the park for their hour walk. I don't get to exercise William , so I exercise my dogs.
I get home. Bathe the dogs and then walk William to the living room and prepare his breakfast and give him his morning meds. He cannot walk by himself. I move the left leg and he moves the right. I set him up with you tube and he gets interested in a documentary. He will stay out there until 11 or noon. I will walk him back to the bed and he will nap for 1 or 2 hours. I get him up and give him lunch or a snack. He will stay up and listen to music or play ping pong on the Nintendo. Or I will find a movie ( either Patton or the Tuskegee airmen). I usually clean the house and do laundry or shop. When I get my work done , I work on my quilts. I need to go and let William get up to listeten to the news on hurricane Harvey.
