One of the nurses who care for Bob on a regular basis asked me today if I was a nurse. She said that I am so patient with Bob, and I know how to talk with him and to get him to do things. That made me feel nice.
Bob also made me feel good. I told him that I understand how frustrating it must be for him not to be able to get up and golf or go to a meeting or ride his bike. He told me, "It's not as frustrating as it would be if he was doing it alone. Having you (me) makes it less frustrating." Awe...does anyone wonder why I love my t?
Today's cognitive lesson consisted of naming opposites (100%), naming synonyms (100%), listing fruits (0%) (that's the labeling thing again), listing animals on a farm (1/5), describing animals (mmm...somewhat), and remembering two words that I gave him at the beginning of the day. (if I said one of the words, he knew the other; but couldn't do it on his own.) I wonder if I can bill the insurance company for inpatient cognitive therapy?
One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
