William managed to stay at work with me for 6 hours. But, he was up 2 hours earlier. That means that he was up for 8 whole hours. He has not done that since before his stroke. He rambled around the store in his electric wheelchair and sat in one of the lobby chairs at time. The only problem was that his bottom was really sore. I should have put the ROHO cushion on the electric wheelchair. We really love that ROHO cushion. It is filled with airbubbles and you can sit all day and not get a sore behind.

We went over to Luby's right after the work. The line was too long!! I ended up going to the takeout window and ordering 2 meals to go. A number of other people did the same thing. I was too tired and hungry to wait in line for an hour for dinner. William was really hungry. He actually wanted to leave work and get something to eat at noon. I had to remind him that I could not leave until 2PM.

We did have a wonderful meal at home and relaxed and watched some TV.

William fell asleep and snoozed for 3 hours.

Today is the big shopping day. But, I am not a shopper. I will be taking William to the pool this morning. I did give him his meds at 7AM. His blood pressure was high. I am going to add an extra lisinopril this evening. I did that the other day and the Am reading was good. I will do that this weekend and monitor the results. It is all trial and error. I will be seeing the cardiologist on Wed. and will let him know the results.

We will be having a change of schedule. I will start working the morning shift and will have caretakers come in the morning. This means that William will have his pool time in the evening. This is not my preference, but my co-worker is not able to hande the AM shift. I need to work it and figure out what the problem is.

I am not looking forward to this change. I had such a nice schedule worked out for William and now we will have to change. But, hey that's life. Change is what is normal. I told William that we may even like this more.
