Alum Creek
Hi! hubby made me this tin, decorative mirror in occupational therapy. He cut out each of the flowers and leaves, colored them, punched them with tin, attached them to a round mirror, and put a hanger on the back. He wants me to hang it in my classroom.
He is doing well. I just keep holding my breath and knocking on wood that his infection doesn’t return for the 4th time. It is a stubborn one and he just finished his antibiotics a few days ago. I’ve been trying to fatten him up, give him vitamins, and I am giving him Florastor. The rehab center suggested I bring in health shakes for him to drink in the mid-morning each day in order to build up his resistance.
He continues to confabulate his memories. He really can’t help it. If you want to read about it, here is a good link: CONFABULATION. He is not nearly as bad as these examples (or at least he hasn’t been for a long time). Although I do find the example about the man who confabulated a story about being invited into a cockpit and allowed to fly the plane a bit eerie. Hubby has a story almost exactly like it.
But the good thing is that his confabulating is improving. There are a few little stories that he is hanging on to. And sometimes he derails and he wonders where his mother went to, even though she lives 2 hours away.
His therapists are very proud of him and say he is making “terrific” progress. I am excited.
