....I gave her one yesterday for a bellyache and it subsided pretty quickly. She also has Prochlorperazine 10MG tabs for nausea.

She got out of bed last night to go to the bathroom, which shocked me because she has been so weak. She needed help getting off the commode, and fell going back to bed. Luckily, no damage was done and I told her not to try that again until she gets stronger. There was a potty chair right there beside the bed, but for some reason she decided not to use it.

Our bed is pretty high off the ground and that makes it easier for her to stand up. Since she has not been able to get up from the sofa (where she lies most of the day) by herself, I'm gonna find a way to raise the heighth of it about 6 more inches. That should make it much easier to rise from.

I got some Ensure muscle strength formula for her yesterday, so hopefully she will drink a couple of those today.
