I'm with you on this, Steve was always rel...Hi,<br />I'm with you on this, Steve was always reluctant to do what I asked of him until he learned the hard way. Staying away from people with infection was ignored until he was hospitalised overnight for a slight cough and nit doing too much was ignored until I let him see how tired he got by overdoing stuff.<br /><br />I also showed him how I was able and happy to defend him and speak up for him and the independence he lost whenever necessary but only when he supported me in allowing me to provide the care he needed but didn't want.<br /><br />All we can do is to love them, my husband said it was easier being a patient than a carer and I now agree with him. I know it is tough right now but it's true we always take our frustrations out on those closest to us, Wash may be fed up of doing what he's told, I guess deep down he knows you're right, a hug, some reassurance that you are looking out for him and be honest with how much you worry and hopefully he will cone round to your way of thinking.<br /><br />xxx Take care xxx Mark xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647023557793610195noreply@blogger.com
