A Few Spasms.

 Rie had a busy day.  Got out of bed early for her weekly two hour long shower. The fancy tub transfer bench we found on Amazon really helped with comfort and safety.  The shower added two hours to her usual two hour long morning routine.

A dear friend from South Padre Island was in town and came to visit over lunch.  We enjoyed reconnecting.  She said a beautiful prayer for us before she left.

Rie's usual two hour long afternoon nap was aborted 30 minutes into it by my mistakenly pushing her SOS button on her room monitor app while I was trying to adjust the video settings.

She then helped me tackle the six month old stack of overdue bills and taxes.  I think that was too unpleasant for her.

By the time we finished the dinner and her bedtime routine, it was an hour past her usual bedtime.  She complained of moderately uncomfortable right leg spasms.  Stretching and massage didn't help much so for the first time since returning home we resorted to a low dose analgesic.  She slept well after that.

Her rehab doctors have told us that these spasms can have many causes: over-exertion, stress, discomfort from prolonged walking or sitting in a wheelchair, insufficient rest, interrupted sleep, infections, hemorrhage...

I don't see any signs of a UTI or pneumonia or a cold.  She is not confused and her thought process is at its best since last July so I don't think there's any new hemorrhage.

Please pray that her spasms resolve with rest. ❤️🙏.  I'm planning a super lazy day for us today!
