Good lazy afternoon.

Yeah, I know.

@kaylachan You are doing fantastic! Have a great day ahead.

@Dreamerby Thank you.

If he needed it, they would. But he's not considered disabled. Plus a medical provider might not have the patience to put up with him, when he says 'no'. Or whines because the tube needs to be flushed. They would just do it, and to hell with how he's feeling. I make sure those things get done, but I give him as much control as I possibly can. I let him control where his tube goes. I let him decide if he wants me to do something, or he does it himself. He'll often make sure I stay on top of things like he used to do before his stroke. So, the VA wouldn't. And, frankly George and I don't like strangers in our home. We did have in-home health for about a month when he first came home from the hospital, but that was more just to transion from the hospital home. They were there like a couple times a week for like an hour. depending on what it was.

@thislittlepennyearns If we needed it, we'd deffently look into it. But, I basically make sure he takes a pill twice a day. I flush his tube acouple times a day, too because he's chosen to drink the shakes orally rather than me putting them down the tube. Every now and again, he might whine or growl at me when I suggest getting something like that done. And, I don't see where help would benifit me in that instance. As long as I put something on the t.v. for him, I've got time to do all the other things I need to do around the house.

@kaylachan I understand your concerns, but it might be good to have some help every one in awhile.
