Survivor week 38 day 4

Barbara slept late today. Then she ate a protein lunch. She was very alert and wanted to do things like get up by herself. She couldn't but her mind told her that she could. Good sign

Then the therapist came and talked to Barbara about what she can do and he checked her range of motion on both left and right side. He got her walker out and worked a little bit with it. He said he would be back tomorrow He said that he felt that he could help Barbara gain strength and mobility. At the same time the health care assistant came. She talked with Barbara about taking showers and dressing herself.

We talked about modifying the bathroom to allow for Barbara to take a shower. The health care assistant is going to go get smelly (girl stuff) for Barbara. She said that she was going to make Barbara look and feel like a girl. Something about putting a bow or barrette in her hair. Anyway she will come twice a week to work with Barbara.

When they both left Barbara was exhausted. But she said that it was good that they were trying to get her more mobile.

Tonight Barbara took the last chemo of this cycle. She is glad because it just zaps her energy.

So we had a busy day but a good day.
