After his bath, we were standing in the ensuite. Told him to get his deodorant, in clear view on a clear glass shelf – where it has been for 18 years.

“This?” as he picked up a bar of D*ve.

Can’t describe the feelings which rush through my heart and soul at that moment.

He’s not going to be impressed- at 12:30pm an RN comes to clip his toe nails. Actually, as in other new things, he will probably just look puzzled and accept it.

After his bath, I have him lie on the bed – it very difficult for me to do them. So, instead of going for a pedicure myself, I’ll have his done. It will be just as wonderful as if it were for me.

I noticed last night that my back was sore, no tired, after bathing him – did some exercises today and will everyday, hoping it works. Not complaining – I flash the victory sign to myself in the mirror every time I get him in the tub.

Yesterday, with mock sternness, I said,”Do you realize it’s been — days since you bathed?” (Since I won, to myself.)

As I turned around he held his thumb up and laughed with a, “Yes!!!” Difficult to give him heck as he has his sense of humor and that’s a real gift to me.

***Update:Visit went very well, next time I’ll take him to her office.
