It was my turn to cry tonight. It was one year ago tonight that my t had his brain aneurysm. He came home from choir practice saying he had a headache, and I didn't think twice about it.
Tonight, I sat at his choir practice, thinking of last year. I held back the tears. But, as soon as we got in the car, I began to tell t what day it was, and I began to cry before I could tell him. He was confused; he wanted to know what he was missing. When I could finally tell him why I was crying, he began to cry too saying that God had a better plan for him.
Aunika, Zachary, and I did a little reminiscing later in evening. I am so thankful God had other plans, because Lord knows, I wasn't done with my t yet either. :-)
I'm going to wake Bob up the entire night tonight, making sure he's ok. He's going to be angry at me by morning. I need to remember, though, that the doctors said Bob's aneurysms are fixed, and he shouldn't have any more brain aneurysms.
We did a few more brain games today. Bob did fine. Speed recall will come with time; he gets frustrated with himself when he can't think as fast as he used to.
He also gets frustrated that his brain openly has a debate anytime he needs to make a decision. A decision about the pros and cons of something that may take the normal person a split second, takes Bob several minutes. He's actually carrying on the argument in his head slowly.
