    Mom’s Status: 2010-04-10

    Pending Appointments And Issues

    1. 2010-03-12 @ 1:15 PM: Friday: PCP appointment to see if the edema has gone down. DONE.  The swelling has deflated somewhat.  However, she still must take an extra 40 MG of lasix daily. 
    2. 2010-04-09 @ 8:30 AM: Friday: PCP appointment.  Nothing noteworthy to report except that Mom’s condition appears to be improving; she’s walking more with her special boot, and so does not rely on the wheelchair as much.
    3. 2010-04-14 @ 11:10 AM: Wednesday: Appointment with orthopedist for the next quarterly checkup on the progress of healing of her charcot foot. 
    4. 2010-06-18 @ 11:00 AM: Friday: Checkup appointment with eye doctor.

    I’m not as-closely monitoring Mom’s sugar and insulin values.  Nor am I dispensing her daily meds because, she expressed discomfort with our continuing to track her diabetes as meticulously as we had been. She’s currently managing her daily dosing of insulin on her own; although I’m still ordering the medications when needed and writing the checks for them.  I’m also keeping track of her appointments.  On the whole, she’s done pretty well.  But since she’s managing more of her care now, you’ll not see these status reports every day; I’ll only post them if something major changes, like her health status or additions or modifications to her appointment calendar.
