A few days ago, George started talking about driving. He had said enough was enough. After sitting idol for so long, the batter had died. So, I ordered a portable jumper box off of Amazon and it came today. After spending time to charge it up, we got it started. As a precaution, George told me to toss the box in the back seat. And, thank goodness I did. Because when we stopped at our friend's place to do a drive by, it would not start. So, our next stop was advanced auto where we got a new battery. George did well up until we had to pay, and that's where he needed my help. He was allso able to get the walker in and out of the van, too. I only put it in once or twice. But, when we left the auto parts store he put it in, and pulled it out when we got home. At least, it runs. I may be learning to how to feed her. Unless George thinks he can do that himself. But, he considered that successful. We did a lot. This impromptu drive threw off my flushing schedule, but we'll get things done.

Glad that George is improving day by day. I am pretty sure tat he would be able to do things that he would require your help eventually.

I helped him the first time, but he got his walker out by himself the rest of the time. It fits nicely behind his seat.

@id_peace It actually took him a little over a year. He pretty much was done with his self-destructive pitty party, and he decided to put in the effort.

@mildredtabitha When you have a stroke, you have a lot of things to process and a lot to go through. He had to go through the emotions.

Sounds like some progress was made and it was a good idea to replace the battery. Hopefully this makes it easier to get around too. That's a game changer.
