George was awake today when I came over! He was dressed and had his hair combed and was pretty much ready to go :) We went to the liquor store (We are having a party for Dennis tonight). We came home and talked to Sharon on the phone for a little bit then we went out to the store again to pick up ‘stuff’. It was raining but he still got out and went to the store. Hopefully it will be a good night.

Today George was acting a little tired. He was saying “I’m just not here; I don’t know what’s going on”. It’s good that he recognizes he has been a little confused. He did talk a little bit more today. We had lunch at home and he ate really well! Even had seconds :) after lunch we put up and decorated the Christmas tree. He laughed when he saw his Christmas house that he made last year :) He seemed like he liked doing the ‘Christmas’ thing. After we put up the lights and the decorations he sat down in the chair and I turned on the back massager.
His weight was 90 lbs. Finally! (Without shoes). He had a little higher BP than his norm at 160/80. He was having coffee at the time and was feeling anxious. Both those things can make it higher. I’ll recheck it again on Wednesday

I didn’t come over on Wednesday, I worked at the hospital. I will see George on Friday.
George was up late again last night. He was still in bed when I came over. When he got up and was ready to go we went to the podiatrist and then had a late lunch. After lunch we went to the credit union to cash his check. He came home, made a drink then read the paper.
Since last week he has been what I call ‘acting old’. He hasn’t been talking very much and doesn’t stay focused. He also has been staying up really late. Dennis mentioned that in the evening he’s more alert and active.
