arrived 530 am ... house locked, Gwen did not expect me ... I will be sure to call caretakers ahead of time and make arrangements for entry next time.
Gwen reported bad night, up all night, just settled in around 5am.
medication confusion this morning ... plastic pill-collaters not filled, no notes about what-up ... Maggie called Dan, Dan to stop by in evening with picked-up medication.
eye appt today, dr reports eye is improved. dr says stop the one medication (Maggie has name of med, I'll update tomorrow) and only use the one currently being used at night, but use it three times a day now instead of just at night.
navigating stairs upon return home arduous ... will soon require 100% assistance going up ... need mechanical assist installed if home-stay continues.
Helen is weaker than what I saw in June (e.g., cannot get up from chair any longer) ... she sits crooked and does not have the strength to straighten herself or scoot herself back as I recall her doing in June. She has difficulty lifting coffee cup.

If you are not doing so already, use the up/down function on the chair. It helps Mom stand up/sit down.
I noticed similar lack of strength over the weekend, but did not comment. I only filled coffee cup up 1/2 way.
If chair lift is answer, is there a way to finance?
With chair lift and tax issues bearing down on us, we really need to get the reverse mortgage.
