The biggest improvement since coming home has been in temperament. I know if I went on day one, my experience would have been very different. Brian experienced all the vitriol, violence, defiance, starvation/suicide wish, refusal to take meds or even to let anyone clean him up. Yesterday was the first time Brian got him into the shower (he had been using special bathing wipes) and that’s because Dad’s motivated to get to the doctor today to have the catheter removed.

Maybe he’ll adjust to his new quality of life. Maybe he’ll have the will to try to improve.

From the day of the stroke, his speech has improved, but he is also relying on short sentences and syllables, and other shorthand means of communication. He has had no speech therapy (no physical therapy, no psychological therapy.)

He’ll eat a little bit now and take his meds. Most recent scan showed the kidney stones are all out. I bet if they didn’t cut his blood thinners while in the hospital, this wouldn’t have happened.

I hope he continues to improve.

It must be a relief to see some improvement, at least in his temperament. Why in the world did they cut the blood thinners? I'm not a doctor, but that just seems wrong to me.

I'm almost wondering if him being in less pain and taking his meds is improving his temperament. Pain can cause people to act out irrationally
