Chapter 13 - A Changeable Day

I had a shower after she rose at 9am. When I came out of the bathroom she was furiously pedalling the machine. She followed that demonstration by showering, drying and dressing herself without needing any assistance at all, quite surprised me when I came to check on her progress. From the fall yesterday she has some pain near her right hip & below the knee but with neither swelling nor bruising present. A great day in the offing! Around 2pm she became tired, went to bed & slept for over 3 hours. From then she went downhill; increasing restlessness, needs to walk but only shuffles, sweats needing fan or air conditioner, unable to rise from any of our chairs without assistance. She is now sitting in the bedroom after needing assistance to go to the toilet. Too restless to read or watch TV. We skipped our nightly circuit of the village. It's now midnight, a long morning ahead.
