I hug her every chance I get. Except for that time when she had the scabies from the nursing home.
She was discharged from the hospital yesterday. After a brief adjustment period (of her being extremely irritable and me being somewhat indifferent), things are pretty much back to normal, although what I need is for things to be somewhat different ... one of the things that should help to keep her OUT of the hospital is to increase her activity level. Anybody have any ideas on this? Simply encouraging her to walk down the (very long) hallway of the apt to increase her strength and endurance has been unsuccessful. I have even offered to do this along with her, rather than just telling her to do it on her own. I have ordered a Tai Chi for Seniors DVD that we can do together. I'm thinking that if both of us do it it might encourage her more.
Short of having Richard Simmons come over to motivate her, I don't know what I can do here.
