I try my best to see something positive in situations. Even in the darkest moments. It's at best challenging. Dad's been getting upset because of what's Mom's been through. He feels horrible that all the responsibility is on Mom's shoulders now. I tell him that because of this situation, Mom has stretched her wings and has the confidence to make things happen that she wouldn't have been able to do 8 months ago. She can stand up to the doctors and nurses where she feels there needs to be clarification. She can manage all aspects of the house. She can use a cell phone. Yes. It's been very difficult on Mom. There have been times that I couldn't take the strain in her voice. But I look at her now in a different light. And Dad must too. These are the positive things that have come about.
Dad is looking good today. He's getting better every day. It's hard for him to realize his progress because he has no point of reference. I remind him often on his great achievements. He needs to be proud of what he has done in the last 4 months.
