Oh, thank you for the encouragement my lovely FG family.:-4
We go to the neurologist in an hour, for his check up and to fix the problem from the ER last week. (he had a gran mal seizure Friday morning, it was very scarey, he never has had one since he has been home) They say it is a result of the brain injury, so I want to know if I must be prepared for anything else.
My husband is able to be at home with me, and does well here. He can say a few phrases or two, but I know what he wants when he asks. He can use the walker once or twice a day. If he is in fine form on a weekend, he knows football and will watch the games for awhile. I think that is very good! Of course, he falls asleep during the games and I don't have the heart to tell him when the team he was rooting for lost.
He vascillates betwen knowing it is me, thinking I am his Mom. I have learned to be content with the image of Mom when necessary, since it is a positive thought for him. It is embarassing to tell paramedics and doctors who he is talking to, but I dealt with that last Friday morning. It is who he knows when he is ill, or scared of things like thunderstorms. It is better to be a positive role model, and make him comfortable for his health.
The roof was repaired on Monday, no more leaks! And they fixed one loose gutter too, so nice of them.
FG has been my mainstay and support during these two years, and your patience with my down days and your love and encouragement everyday makes me smile. I am always thankful for each and every one of you. You will never know how much it means to me, to stop by here in between nursing chores and life, to say hi and have fun for awhile.
