Day to Day
I haven't had time to get on here lately because I don't have the free time. There is so much going on right now. Dad is doing good but he has some really bad days too at times. He will go for hours just yelling and screaming about something and then when he finally stops and I tell him that what he has been yelling about is not what he thinks he heard me or my mom say. He gets things confused all the time and then gets mad. I have figured out to let him talk and then explain to him what I actually said to him or I write it down for him to read. He is always saying something and thinking that he said it right and he's not so then I don't know what he really wants and then he gets mad. I just smile at him and tell him to say it one more time but slower. He hates therapy! Just to say the word therapy in this house leads to a long argument and he yells and throws and slams things. He gets really mad about therapy. The therapy service provider doesn't not know how to deal with stroke victims. Routine is key and they never keep the same routine no wonder dad gets mad. I can understand why dad gets mad a lot of the time now because he doesn't understand or he just feels like he can't do anything even though he can. He is slowly improving in some ways but still has a long long long way to go. He talks all the time about anything and everything under the sun. I hear some of what he says but only when it is important otherwise I listen to some of it. I graduate in about two weeks and dad will be at my graduation. I hope that it doesn't confuse him I don't want him to get aggrevated.
