I lost it today....no patience
I let William sleep in this morning. I got him up about 8AM. I told him that we needed to get moving. I wanted to get the pool done. He was amenable to that. We get to the YMCA and he wants to try to go to the bathroom. OK. Nothing happens. Now, I get him into the water. It is nice and warm today.' 5 minutes into our workout. William starts in. He wants to leave!!! This just rubs me the wrong way. It takes me an hour to get him ready and into the water. I cannot do only 5 minutes. Now, he starts nagging me about leaving. I am so frustrated. The pool is empty, hardly anybody there. I coerce him into walking and doing more. But, I am called a fanatic and he wants to leave. After 30 minutes of this, I say. he can go.
I am so frustrated and mad. I give him a shower. 30 minutes. He wants a cup of coffee after the shower. I say no. We are going home. You wanted to leave quickly. Quickly we are leaving. I tell him that he will now get to spend the rest of the day in bed. I am not going to break by back and take him out and about. I had planned a movie and outing today. But, no longer. There are consequences to his not working with me regarding therapy.
Luckily, our friend will be coming to take him out to lunch. I need a break from William.
he is in bed. I had to have a talk with him, He needs to understand that he needs to work at therapy. He needs to concentrate during therapy. There is a brain and muscle connection. His fussing during therapy means that he is not concentrating. I am fanatical with therapy. But, i get tired of it somedays.
Today is one of those days.
