OCD?...

I took my own advice and wrote down what I wanted to say in this blog about what happened today. I believe Bob's stroke left him with a little bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Bob had a shirt on that had small vertical stripes. At one point in the day, he was looking for a different shirt to change into. When I asked him why he wanted to change, he said, " The stripes are crooked, and it is driving him crazy." I have OCD tendencies about some things. I would consider changing a shirt because of crooked stripes is OCD. My OCD has to deal with having items on a counter being perfectly spaced at equal distances from each other. Also, books need to be arranged on a shelf from tallest to the shortest, and the spines need to be perfectly matched.

Before Bob's aneurysm, my kids and t would secretly move an item on the counter just to watch me align it again with everything on the counter. I wouldn't say anything, I would just do it before being able to do anything else.

I would have to give Bob two thumbs up for his memory today. He was surprised too that he remembered many things that happened earlier in the day. However, for some reason, this afternoon, I found him packing clothes. He thought we were going somewhere for the weekend, so he was taking the time pack a bag. Where did that come from?
