My posts are not always clear in content or intent.
Although he needs help with many things, I feel he doesn’t realize the extent of his disability. As an example, he rarely reads the newspaper anymore, yes, he holds it and scans the front page for a few minutes and then sets it down. Being he loves the comics and a good laugh, I will reach over and pull out the comics. Some days his reply is, “I can still do that, you know.”
I always reply that he can but the fact is, he never finds them even when actively searching. It’s complex.
Thank you for your helpful comments:)
Jean, just recording your thoughts is a nice release for you. Every day must be an adventure for both of you. Hang in there. I enjoy coming here – sometimes I need a good laugh or a good cry.
Thanks.
Hi Mary – good to see you, as usual. Hopefully more laughs than cries? Enjoy your weekend – I remember how precious they were when I was working.
