slice of our life... better and worse..
I never know who is gonna wake up for the day... Dan or stroke Dan.. Dan can be sorta fun ( and luckily i have seen him a bit more lately ) but stroke dan is a wild card.... yesterday he decided he wouldnt come in the house.. he was gonna clean garage.. which he did, then he washed the car,which he did... PLEASE dont think the man can just do this stuff alone mind you... sweeping means i move things - everything - over and over again.. and i have to sweep up the "sweepings" and dispose... still i dont mind.. and cleaning the car entails him taking a spray bottle and towel and doing a dry wash.. which is harder on the car than just not washing it ( scratches it)... but again makes him feel useful. and it is just a piece of equipment.. and i always try to choose "feelings" and humanity over a piece of metal...but again i am in and out of the garage a million times checking him... yes i have the camera but still, and then their is the holler -- of---- HEY !!! which scares me every time... but he wouldnt come in.. OK thats fine EXCEPT it is in the 20's in ND right now and yes the garage is insulated but not heated so puts it about 45 or so... and dan wet himself still wouldnt come in... so he was stubborn and wet .. OCD had kicked in and he was going to complete goal no matter what..... and i try to avoid the power struggle but bear in mind the whole i am his guardian and have to be careful ... but i can not physically MAKE him do or not do anything.. so i bite my lip and watch and worry../ He eventually came in.. wet and cold... i had put a electric blanket so the bed would be warm after i washed him up ... but GOOLLLEEE..... no solution, just situations to be dealt with all the time... seems like a new trick every day.... and he is hollering right now so see YA!!!!! have a good day everyone !!!
