Journal entry by Cindy Bowe —
Flip has been a little more confused that past few days. He has been talking about going to school and asking where to catch the bus. Tonight he had to go to Hudson because his office was there and he had a meeting. I never know what is going to come out of him. He had therapy today and did well while there but then when he gets home he starts in with the driving somewhere in the car and other things that make no sense. We are going to try doing therapy twice a week to see if that makes a difference. This could be a result of the shunt adjustment last week also. It's just strange that he can be so good that you would never know anything happened and the next minute he can't remember anything. He has been saying that he wants to go home but home is a different place each time, tonight it was in Hudson and other times it's someone's house. When I tell him he is home and that we have lived here for 30 years he just looks confused. I still have trouble getting him do his therapy that he is supposed to do, sometimes I think he feels that it is making him feel like, why am I having to do these silly exercises I am smarter then this. You can see him thinking and trying to come up with the correct words but he just can't do it. Hopefully this will pass and we will move on to the next stage of recovery. Have a wonderful weekend everone.
