For some reason, I feel he regarded respite as almost a punishm*nt. We were home only a few hours when he announced that from now on he would do anything I asked.

When pushed for an explanation, he said, “You know, going to the doctor or dentist.” As fate would have it, he had a hygiene appointment – I was going to cancel under our circumstances but it was fine, easier than ever before.

Also, he sits down beside me and asks if he can do anything or help me, etc. This is not new for the “former Wayne” but new in our journey.

I feel badly for him and keep reassuring that we are home together, it may be necessary again but he will understand next time and that I will be back to take him home – “If it’s ever necessary again”. If anyone has suggestions, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for all your support – it’s been a really trying week, I guess for both of us.

I can never “get” him with humor – he’s always one up on me.

Yesterday was incredibly bright, sun on new fallen snow. As we were ready to back out of the drive, I mentioned he could wear his sunglasses, pointing to them in the glove box.

Thanking me, he replied something to the effect he would just close his eyes.

“Me, too!” He at first said, “Hey, hey, hey. You’re the driver!” Then he got it and laughed and laughed.

Thru all our journey, he has maintained his sense of humor.
