Yes, her morning coincided with most people's mornings, today. It was company day. Although she didn't awaken on her first call, 0830, she did on her second, 0920.
All meals were, well, different today. For breakfast she had a fruit and vegetable plate, including my home made ranch dressing as a vegetable dip; three deviled egg halves; a croissant.
Although technically she didn't move as far as she has been on our driveway walks, because she was walkering across naked earth with a small-gravel covering which has been rained and stepped into the ground over the years, thus, moving was challenging exercise. She was outside until about 1300.
Our company left at 1400. Mom was in bed for a nap by 1430. She was up, however, before 1630.
For lunch she and I split what was left of the fruit plate: fresh strawberries, pineapple, mango, blueberries and marionberries. And coffee.
For dinner we sort of split what was left of the deviled eggs: she got four halves, I got three.
Her Bowel Movement occurred at 0945: Fair volume; slightly smeary consistency; very easy elimination; slightly challenging clean-up.
I did not give her extra evening Benefiber, as the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables (broccoli, snap peas, tiny baby carrots, grape tomatoes, celery, hmmm...and something else, can't remember) should operate just as well as Benefiber.
It's still early, although she's been in a light daze all evening. I rubbed her legs early tonight, between 1700 and 1800, just for relaxing stimulation. I expect her to go to bed much earlier than she usually does. I'll record that time later. Whether I decided to arouse her tomorrow after exactly 12 hours or to let her go until noon or so, well, that'll depend on what I observe in the morning.
As I attach a final definite bedtime to mom, this evening, by amending the timing of this post, Mom's light has just gone out. She wandered, with slow satisfaction, into bed at 0915, almost exactly 12 hours after arising, or, well, opening her eyes with that intention. Good day for her. She even said so before going to bed.
