CAREGIVER NOTE:
He was a bit “off” yesterday during the morning hours – he was definitely doing things out of his normal routine start of the day. Once he realized what he was doing, he got back on his normal track and things went pretty good. He spent a good portion of his day talking about things in the past and sharing old stories — no new twists.
He’s had two good nights of sleep — we’ll see how tonight and tomorrow go in our test of the new meds. The dizziness has lessened considerably and he felt much more confident in getting around yesterday; not having to stop here and there to gain his balance, or needing extra help to get from point A to point B — though using the walker is still not on his “need to use” list at the moment — he has an arm to lean on in his treks from place to place. There was a little anxiety in the afternoon — not sure if it was because of the cloud cover or if he was starting to cycle into the worry zone about something. We did sit and he shared some thoughts going through his head, but nothing that led me to believe he would go to the “melt down zone” before the end of the day.
