Well, we had a pretty good day today. Yesterday Jim was pretty tired after going to the hospital to have those tests done. We haven't heard from the doc yet but I do know there is a deficit in his left leg. It isn't very bad, though and I doubt that surgery will be called for. I think part of the problem is because Jim has a malocclusion of the bones in his lower left leg (a whole nuther story) and I think the arteries may be getting constricted by the bone. The carotid looked very good, though and I was relieved when I saw that.

Here's the thing, though. I know that he still doesn't have everything quite straight in his mind and I try to be understanding of that. I have been kind and understanding and loving and all that since the beginning. Sometimes, however, Jim can get down right rude if things aren't going just the way that he thinks they should, or as quickly as they should and so on. He just doesn't understand that there might be other patients before him or that someone elses procedure may have taken a bit longer than expected. So when is it alright for me to stop being sweet and kind and tell him to shut his mouth and behave like an adult? I get that he doesn't understand but the nurses and so on don't understand his behavior either. Most of the time he is so kind but I think it's time for him to be set straight. I just don't want to do the wrong thing but I don't want to see other people suffering because he doesn't get it. You know?
