Bedridden

Dave is bedridden.  He tries to stand but his legs are too weak.  My aide and I try to transfer him to a wheelchair but it is getting more difficult with Dave sliding to the floor.  I asked the therapist to try and he had the same result.  I guess it is time to accept the inevitable and order a hospital bed.  Meanwhile, we have been using many bed pillows to prop Dave up in bed for meals.  At least Dave is in good spirits.  The last bout of bad behavior was due to a UTi.

I found a wonderful place to walk the dog with the Hudson River in the background.  How could I have lived here so long and never know about this place? I will take Dave when the weather is warmer.
