Wow. Rob is pretty annoyed today. :S
Just about everything that comes out of his mouth has the "f word" added in. He seems to be feeling quite a bit of pain today. His right eye is really bothering him. The doctors were in with him this morning and noted that he has double vision going on, which is common following TBI, and made a reference to his Occupational Therapist, Marci, to do some visual work in his OT sessions. I also made sure the doctors were aware of the pain he's been complaining of in his left hand. I haven't been informed of a plan for following up on that.
I made sure he got a kneecap cover this morning. ;)
Rob had a busy morning with therapies. He was too tired to stay awake for lunch. He has a busy afternoon ahead, too. 1:30 OT, 2:00 Speech, and 2:30 PT. He was also given more Speech homework, but I'll be surprised if I can get him to work on it.
what about the broken bones hun? what do the doctors say about his progress--will he keep improving and get to a better place with the way his brain is working? does he realize he's swearing so much? does he remember home? where he lives, etc....? do you read these comments???
ReplyDeleteYes, I read the comments.
ReplyDeleteHis fractures need to heal on their own and they are.
The doctors don't say a whole lot, but they're optimistic.
He doesn't remember things. He has post traumatic amnesia. He needs to refer to his Memory Book and be constantly quizzed and reminded.
