Bill fell again this morning - trying to pick something off of the floor, which he has repeatedly promised not to do. I find it a lot easier to pick a piece of paper off the floor then getting Bill off the floor!
Had him wiggle to a better spot where I could assemble the Raizer. Within ten minutes or less I had him on his feet and settled in his chair with a cup of hot cocoa. That gadget does come in handy - unfortunately. Then repaired shelf he had taken down with him.
Fortunately, unlike yesterday morning, he is in a good mood, fall and all. I think he likes the Raizer ride upwards.

Will fell and didn’t tell me. He was sitting on the edge of the tub and lost his balance and slid down the outside. He said his rear end hurt but not enough to go to the doctor.
He is going to the doctor tomorrow because he has lumps in each breast that comes and goes - I’m wondering if it could be hormones.
Going to a specialist next year who has a great reputation with Dementia/Alzheimer’s to find out if there are better meds for Dementia. I have read Alzheimer’s meds can be helpful for Dementia and Will’s meds are at the maximum with nothing else available. Going to ask her opinion about Alzheimer’s meds and side affects I have read about. I am excited to find out more about the meds.
Take care and get some rest!
