The Whiteboard

As much as I try to live the life that Clark is his old self, it just doesn't get it.
BUT, Clark is becoming even more aware, that he isn't his old self. This brings conversations, which can be from one end to the other. Meaning, it is good, but it isn't good. I am amazed, he has come so far, to oh my ....he is really struggling.
Examples, keep in mind, he is starting to realize what he used to do, to what he can do.
He needed to take his/our dog to the vet, he went to write this down on the board and had to ask "What is his name?" , I said "Rodney", "oh yes, okay....Ro.. how do you make a "D", "look up on the board, you just made a "d" here." This brings me back to the reality of what has happened. Which, floods my thoughts, what should I do to help him recover his spelling and langauge? But, then I have to go to work, and it fades, daily life takes over to the importance of Clark.
He said the other day, "I don't think you know how much my language was affected". I said "you are probably right". He then gives me this example, where and were, I know they are words, but what do they mean and how do you spell them? I said, "where" is a place, like we went to Lake Erie the other day, and "were", is past tense, like we "were" at Lake Erie. He said, okay, now how do you spell them?
Clark, is so amazing, I can not express to you how much. He is so intelligent. He was a paramadic for years. There is so much more I could tell you, he could write papers, and knew things, about everything. No matter what! A jack of all trades, but even more, he was close to being an expert in all. He could actually bore you to tears, on topics you could care less about. But, my point is - this is so Great, as far as he has come, and so sad, for the struggles. I almost wish, he didn't realize the loss. But, I take that back, because he doesn't get depressed, he says, "I might not get it all back, but I will never stop trying." I am no where close to Clark, he is amazing.....

Goodbye for A While

I don't have anything to say for a while. I enjoy all of my favorite bloggers, especially Dr. Charles and Death Maiden. I will still be reading and enjoying.
