When went for a walk at 7:30 am, Dad was up moving about.

At 11:15 am, Dad made another bird feeder roll, and then he watered the house plants.

Dad laid down in back room at about 11:20 am. Walks gingerly about the house. He was feeling tired.

Dad felt faint or dizzy at times this morning. Maybe he needs to eat more.

10:37 pm: Dad is still about the same. He has pain at times in his lung. He moves slow and talks softly and rests often, either in the living room or the bedroom. On Saturday morning, he felt dizzy or light-headed at times.

I had hoped that he would be stronger by now. It seems that the discomfort caused by the clots in the lung wears him down. He doesn't feel like doing much because those clots hurt. If the clots would dissolve, then he would probably feel a lot better, and he would be more active.

But I think that he is eating okay. And he knows that he needs to be up moving around at regular intervals, which he does. But he is not exercising yet per Dr. Shinn's suggestion.

On Monday, we plan to leave the house at 7:30 am for the clinic.
