Exercise

Mom goes for walks.
Today after lunch, I asked her take to the garbage out while I was doing the dishes.
She was gone for about 20 minutes.
She told me that she decided to go for a walk around the block.
That's great, but I was a little worried.  Sometimes she runs into someone downstairs and chats.

Just called mom.  She said she had just come back from her walk. Yikes!  I told her it was a good thing she didn't get lost and she giggled.  She seems to be in good spirits.

Mom and I went for a walk.  Mom walked around the block and then stopped before we got her building.  She said she was tired so I thought she would continue home, but she looped back around again.

Mom and I went for a walk after dinner.  We took the stairs down and took the stairs up.  Mom can go up the stairs faster than me.

Mom seems quite stiff lately and complains about pain in your lower back.
I think it's because she sits and falls asleep.
I try to get her to lie down.
I try and get her to do exercise.
When we first start our exercise she says she feels pain, but soon she says she feels fine.
Then, she says she is tired and lies down.

I called mom at 7:30 p.m. to tell her that she was going to New Vista tomorrow.  She said that she had just gotten back from a walk.  She seemed out of breath.  I hope she remembers to put her key back.

I'm doing exercises with mom.
She says her fingers are stiff.
She's still in pretty good shape.
I think I get just as tired from the workout as she does.
In fact, she kicks her leg higher than I do.

Mom enjoys her finger exercises.
I do "rain" and "pachi-pachi" (blinking lights).
She doesn't like to crouch down or go onto the floor, but once she's there, she is fine.
