Yes, he does most of the time. I'm careful to choose my words carefully so he doesn't get worried I'm invading his space or trying to run his life. Quite a balancing act. At 52. he's his own man. As a disabled man who often needs help but doesn't want it, especially or particularly from his mother, and often doesn't realize he needs the help, he still needs me. I'm all he has. We have a brick wall we must get over to attempt some normalcy....HA! Haven't used that word for his or my life in forever, nor will I...

Today he has a friend visiting, who has a young son, is a musician/computer person and a lot in common with my son. They met when he was doing better for a few months, then he went down and hasn't seen him for some time. It's fantastic he has someone who will share and spend some time, show interest in this good man. He needs this, so I agreed to help out today at his request. We rescheduled some things so he could visit......so pleased!

The last time this fellow visited, he fixed my son's computer, set up the new system he had but couldn't physically do himself. He set up a sound system for him and scheduled housekeeping as well....something my son insists he will do but never gets to it.....So, obviously, I'm thrilled for a lot of reasons!

This afternoon, I've been hit hard with another sinus attack! Pretty bad, so the laptop light is too bright and this will be it for a while. On the right side, again. It may be related to the esophageal reflux, which I had this morning....I'll get the sinus eye/face mask I ordered, heat it up and crawl in bed....now.
Blessings all. elizabeth
