Talk to me

Today was a busy day, The day began at 9am, I woke up a few times during the night, not too sure why. Finally got up made Yuriy's meds and made breakfast. After we ate I got him dressed and ready to go. Then I got ready and we were out of the door with in a half hour, we have it down to a science after five years lol. Today was a little different because the CNA that is usually here for five hours in the morning had to call off so it was all up to me.
We drove to next steps for his physical therapy appointment. He did walking and mat work. He works so hard every session, I sometimes will just watch him and am in awe, he knows what he wants and knows he has to work to get it. If the the situations were reversed I don't know if I could do what he does.
After therapy we had to run to the store, now it seems simple but there are things that I think of every time we go anywhere, Is it accessible? Do they have automatic doors? I hope theres parking. Well this place (which I can't say where right now maybe next week I will say lol) It had no auto doors and there wasn't adequate handicap parking but I do what I do best, adapt and overcome. Its all about technique lol. Anyways we get in just fine get what we need to, then leaving I got out of the first set of doors just fine then had trouble with the second set, and wouldn't you know it,not one person offered to help. There was a lady right there and nothing. I used to make a comment out loud, loud enough for them to hear, but I have learned to just not even spend my time on them. So that was aggravating.
We got home ate lunch, then I had some projects I do to do. Exciting things like putting on a new toilet seat! Now in the past I would have had someone do this for me, but I did it and Yuriy was there for support. Then I did some other things around the house, I guess we have creepin charlie weeds on the front lawn, or so the tru green guys tell me and they are bad. Who knew? When he told me I had a creeping charlei on the front lawn I thought charlie sheen was out there lol. Anyways so I think I may give in and have the experts get rid of them.
So things like this remind me that if Yuriy was not injured he would be doing all of this stuff, but this is what it is so I have to learn to do things on my own.
So later on we went shopping again, this time it was for a cord for my old camera, long story short we went to staples then best buy, ended up buying this thing that convert mini dv's to dvds, it is pretty awesome.
I am obsessed with documenting my life, whether its pictures or video. I think its because in the past I didnt document well enough. I wish I had more video or recording of Yuriy's voice on it, I miss his voice very much. That is the one thing that kept me going during his deployment and our long distance relationship was hearing him. I think thats the hardest thing about this brain injury is communication..We would spend hours on the phone...but I am grateful he has his personality and can still make me laugh even with out saying anything.
OK Well another goal for me is to go to sleep earlier LOL We will see how that goes.
