Finally sinking in
Well I am a little over 2 yrs post stroke...I think John is finally realizing that I am no longer "super woman" and have some residual deficits....
He will tell me to remind hom of "something" remind me I have the water on, watering the plants so I don't forget to turn it off.... well I keep this in my mind a minute or two and then say "hey john, you have the water on for the plants..he looks at me and laughs...I said well I reminded you, so now you can't say I didn't
we get a laugh out of it....
He is starting to realize that I fatigue easier ....and can no longer go at 110 miles per hour. and do all the things I did before at the same pace.
He is also now asking do you remember? and if I look kind of blank and trying to remember he tells me about it. and sometimes I can remember and sometimes not. He is accepting this.....
I have asked him "do I embarrass you? he says why..because I walk funny and my speech is different, he says NO we are very lucky.....
I am happy he is accepting the changes and very supportive.
