Decreasing the hours that caretakers are present.
I am thinking of increasing William's independence. I will try to cut down on caretaker hours. An hour at the beginning and end of the day. I think that it is time to try some independence. William told me that he thinks that the caregivers have primarily given him company. This has helped with his state of mind. They are company. But, they do not do alot while they are here and they are a hughe drain on the budget. I cannot wait to have them gone ...but, I know that we still need them for awhile more.
WE had a gread walk in the pool today. THe lap lanes were really busy today. When we first started, WIlliam complained of pain in the left leg. Just above the knee and quad. After 15 min. of walking the pain disappeared. It seems that it needed a little stretching and walking.. That was good! I was a little concerned at first. Because, William does not complain about pain.
Yesterday, it was raining and lightening and thunder. WE had to skip the pool. We used the arm pedal and the recumbant bike. Five minuets on each. My straps worked well.
Today, William had his pills with yogurt and grapes for breakfast.
