Even though Bob is making progress, the progression seems to be at a slow pace. For the past few months, the progression was fast, now it's to where everyone said, "Recovery is going to take a long time." Well, we are at the loooonnnngggg time phase.
Bob was awake longer today. He probably wishes he was asleep when I'm around. If I can see the whites of his eyes, then I'm working that brain of his to get the neurons firing in the right direction. There's no such thing as "down-time". I'm from the east coast. The work ethic of the east coast is completely the opposite of the west coast. East coast work ethic is, "I want it done yesterday." West coast work ethic is, "I might get to it next week." Combine east coast work ethic with a teacher and what do you get? ME! I can be like that old elementary teacher you had with the tight bun in her hair, wrinkles, raspy voice, and glasses that sit on the end of her nose. (get the picture?) But, really, I'm nice.
Alanon slogan: One day at a time.
A prayer of healing and strength:
Dear God,
Use every event in my life, even my present circumstance, to work within me to bring healing of body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationship. In every way manifest your blessing in and through my life. Amen.
