I didn't have any where I had to go today so pretty much stayed at home and did things around the house...a little cleaning and a little cooking and a little stitching and a little visiting on the phone. I did go out this afternoon for a auick trip to the store down the street. Woody called today to share his experience in the gym at his rehab. He said that he did the parallel bars...I could just picture the gymnasts at the Olympics!!! He said that he was able to stand using them, but unfortunately his blood pressure dropped and they had to stop. I'm just glad that they have him up and attempting standing! No wonder his blood pressure dropped! He has only been upright a few times in the last four weeks. He hadn't had breakfast because he was taken to dialysis before breakfast was served. If he hadn't had breakfast, that meant that he probably hadn't had anything to drink since last night, before attempting his parallel bar feat! And, his blood pressure can go low during dialysis. Many reasons...hopefully they can get something figured out! But, I am glad that they had him up and attempting to stand and put one foot in front of the other! He sounded in good spirits today and sounded a bit stronger. We will all just keep on keeping on in our new normal! To be continued. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
