Victor and his two brothers have gone camping. Originally, I was a bit dubious about Victor going off on his own without me. Yes ! he is a grown man, but after his accident we very rarely have been apart from each other and when we have he has stayed with his elder brother and his wife whilst I went off on a course for my Esoteric Healing. Other than that I have watched over him. Making sure he takes his medication, reminding him to eat and generally motivating him. Part of the injury to his brain is that there is no motivation. Part of the injury is also short term memory loss.
So, that is why I was worried. Because of the short term memory problem, I thought he might decide whilst camping to go for a wander in the National Park and forget how to get back. Anyway, he has gone. His older brother understand the enormity of the problem. He is one of the people who were with me when we first saw him in Emergency after the accident. He visited Victor most days whilst he was in hospital for the three months and he and his wife have been such a support to me I can't even begin to explain.
They left this morning. By the time they left I was actually quite settled that he was going to be OK, and also quite looking forward to some time on my own. Without any chores, or any pressure to be anywhere. However, I think it is going to be a long three days. I miss him already.
