I had set the alarm for 7 but it was 7:30 before I got moving and 8 before I could Cowboy out of bed. He just lays there and doesn't seem to hear me when I tell him we have to get up and get ready. He then proceeds to surprise me and not take a long time to get dressed. There are several activities involved in dressing, shower, shave, brush teeth, put in teeth, put in hearing aids, pick a pair of jeans and a shirt, pick a pair of boots from the many he has, put on his glasses and attach his cell phone to his belt. and then where is the hat he wants to wear today. He is a fellow who has always enjoyed nice cowboy boots and nice cowboy hats, belts, buckles etc and picking all the right things is a process. Of late, things often don't match and sometimes he just sits there for a long time deciding.
Speech therapy went pretty well. The therapist tells me he should be doing a little better but there is progress. He told me he got up and one point and she asked him where he was going and he couldn't tell her so he stayed and finished and then went to the bathroom. When we got home I learned he had wet his pants and we had to clean up and change. Must remember to tell her to just let him go !
