This was this morning…
Soooo…I gave Bob his computer to see what he remembered. Well, he freaked that my blog wasn’t a self hosted site and created me my own domain. 🙄
He is very happy that he remembered how to do it.
Moving forward, all new blog posts will be at
Unrestrainednj.com
Hopefully, we will lose those pesky ads too.
———————————
But alas, ’twas not meant to be. The domain is purchased. And some of the older posts are there. But it didn’t pick up all of the more recent posts. And then Bob started to get very frustrated and slightly depressed.
So it’s still this same site. Which I have no problem with and maybe, eventually, I will let him touch a computer again. But probably not for another month or two. It was too sad to watch him start to shut down with disappointment. He said his head hurt. His brain was fried. And he just wanted to be able to provide for his family.
And he will. Someday. Tomorrow is 10 weeks since the accident. It will continue to be more time until he heals.
I’m not going to watch that spiral again. I don’t want to see him down on himself. The task he was doing wasn’t one that he normally does, but should have been something he could have reasoned out fairly easily (pre-TBI).
He had a good day of therapy over all. I found out that he walked himself to the bathroom with his walker at around 4 am. (He isn’t allowed to do that). But did well with ADLs with Brian. He saw Colleen for PT and I started my training. And he walked even more. We played three hands of Crazy 8’s and he won two of them. I need to stop playing cards with him. Speech was great with Stephanie and we worked on more reasoning activities.
His personality is coming back more and more. He’s getting his funny snarky attitude with me and I like giving it right back to him. But then he cries “brain injury” thinking I will stop, but I don’t. We had a BBQ lunch in the cafeteria and then Ryan and Heather Gorsky came to visit. We played SkipBo outside on the 6th floor and, of course, Bob won. See? I don’t learn.
He’s resting now because I hurt his head with the computer. I do feel badly, especially since he was so excited to help me. I hope to cheer him up later. We’re going to order in sushi for dinner.
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend.
