Another Wait-n-See Day

09:56AM -- I am late getting up this morning but then again, I was even later getting into bed (somewhere around 4:00am this morning). Larry ate most of his steak and veggies last night. However, I had to reheat the meal for him no less than 3 times over the course of a couple of hours. I gave him another Ensure at dinner to take his pills with. He began having problems remembering how to work the remote again. I walked into the bedroom to check on him and he had fell back across the bed and was sleeping. I woke him up so I could get him situated in bed correctly (his legs on the bed), and he decided he wanted to sit for a while. It was about 2:00am at this time. I'm constantly up and down the hallway checking in on him, sometimes just standing quietly in the doorway watching him. Anyway, I left the room and checked in again about 10-15 minutes later. The tv was on the guide and his fingertip aimlessly moved over a few buttons on the remote, without pressing any of them. I offered to help but he refused to allow me to turn the tv off - at one point telling me to "stop picking on" him. I explained I only wanted to help. I told him he needed to go to sleep because he has dialysis "tomorrow". He allowed me to help him lie down at this point, putting his legs into bed and fixing his pillow. I left him alone and went back in the living room and began reading again. At 2:45am, I went back to check on him and he was asleep, remote in hand, and the tv still on. I began to pull the remote away and he grasped it tighter. I told him he needed to go to sleep that it was now "quarter to three" in the morning and he has dialysis. He seemed surprised that it was so late and allowed me to take the remote. He asked what I was doing and I told him waiting on the boys to get home from work. He was asleep when I finally crawled into bed around 4 this morning. I think the last time I looked at the clock it was 5am. Anyway, it is almost time now to wake Larry and get him ready for dialysis. I'll be back later.
