Stevie went off yesterday morning to his Day Service with the knowledge that I would be coming later to collect the hanging basket he had made for us to have at home.
I was not really expecting too much as you have tendency not to with his conditions etc. but Boy was I wrong!!
It weighs a ton and is gorgeous! I had to buy a large heavy duty bracket to hang it outside our front door. I should have known really as my father was really good at hanging baskets. I can remember them hanging outside of the pubs etc. that Mum and Dad ran for years.
It's a beauty! As you can see.
However when he got home and sat down for tea etc. he promptly had 2 full seizures and 3 or 4 small absence type seizures. Completely blew my good mood and Stevie has been distracted, confused and slightly difficult all evening. It is as if when he has one of the full focal seizures, his brain scrubs all his immediate memories and he cannot remember what you said to him 2 minutes ago. Or how he should behave and remember his manners..
It is one of the aspects of his condition(s) that the memory can be seriously affected, especially short term memory.
Ah well, ever onward! Stevie and I are off to the bank shortly to arrange a prepaid card for our holiday. 2 Aug and can't wait!
