A wheelchair Day

I struggle to understand Dave's terrible disease, vascular dementia.  He was not able to stand all day.  I am so thankful to have my sons at hand to help the aide and I with him.

The next day was different.  Dave was able to walk with the walker.  Hooray.  He even walked into the dentist office where I could see Dave was happy to display his abilities to walk.  I am guessing the wheelchair is debilitating so I will ask, "Do you want to use the chair?"  Sometimes he says yes.

With each changing day, I try to plan ahead to be ready for the worst.  I think I will concentrate on a getting a ramp for the two outside steps.  It would be awful to be completely house bound.  One day at a time, sweet Jesus.
