Jim used his walker to go from the family room to the bathroom last night. That's the farthest that he's walked in the house.
Meanwhile Mom's senile dementia is getting worse. I have to continually remind her to take her meds and keep her feet elevated. Every time I look away she puts her feet down on the floor. Her ankles keep swelling causing stasis ulcers.
Yesterday Lupita told her why she had to keep her feet up. She told Lupita okay and how smart she was. The next minute her feet were back on the floor.
At least there is improvement in Jim's future. Mom will just keep getting worse. It is difficult to watch and very emotionally draining.
