Jul. 8th, 2005 12:44 pmI have to get better. HAVE TO. For him, I think I can.
Craig's grandma has senior-onset dementia. It's pretty severe, but she still more or less knows Craig and her kids. She lives in a retirement home specifically for the care of alzheimer's and dementia patients.
Well, she fell a couple of times over the last few weeks. She was complaining a lot about the pain, which she NEVER does, so Craig and his mom took her to the doctor today. Turns out, she might have a couple of broken ribs.
Craig says he gets frustrated when he tries to communicate with her, but you'd never know it. I've watched him with her. He's so sweet and patient and kind. It's like watching a really good dog play with a really rough, grabby toddler.
My boyfriend is a saint. And he looks like Jesus.
