Friday, March 11, 2011

John did not  go to sleep last night until I gave him more sleeping meds at 3:30am. However he slept well after that.Neverthless he was wide awake when the worker came at 9am (he is usually still sleeping).
He had a much better day today.
I read the prescription information that London Drugs gives you with any new med. The one for the new Sinemet under side effects says, "Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: fast/shallow breathing, unusual muscle stiffness, unusual sweatig" Sound familiar??? so does that mean he should take less of the med? The nurse told me to give him more. Hmmmmm
Will talk to her again on Monday.
The one time John began to feel bad today, I loaded him into the wheel chair and took him with me to take the garbage out. It seems as if he gets moving the symptoms lessen. Anyway it did seem to stop them and although he was a little rigid and had to be sat back up in his chair once, it was nothing like the last few days.
So very thankful for today
My one concern today is that the disc in my back is very tender and I have to be very careful how I move or turn or it reminds me real fast. It's very hard to do everything I need to do for John if my back is not good. Please pray that the disc swelling will go back down quickly.
Was sad to hear about the earthquake in Japan today. Checked on all our former students and staff who are living there, or have family there, and thankful to say they are all OK. One girl is without gas or electricity and transportation is down - it took her brother 7 hours to walk home from wherever he was. But they are all fine.

One thumbs up for today. Hallelujah
