Sydney was a champion for digging two holes for the Montgomery Pie cherry trees. I threw in a fruit tree spike in each hole and he crushed them up. He also weed eated against the house, something he has never done before, I was quite pleased with his work. I took him to his therapy session today and he asked that I go in with him. We got inside the car and he had his school binder as he does have it in tow at each meeting. He has drawings, coffee stained paper he has made, and other miscellaneous items he has made within its shell, he has to show anybody who is willing to look at his prized accomplishments. Crafts are his obsession because he can create his horror themed paraphernalia his way. He expressed is major upset at Jim (his father) and felt the need to cause him harm because he was hurting me, or at least that is what he claimed. I had to set things straight that I was not upset but was more surprised that he had to advertise for a woman while he was still married. The therapist asked me if I had a living will to see that Sydney would go to proper care when I die, should I die sometime soon. She will get me the paper work so that I can start that. Sydney made it perfectly clear that he didn't want to be near Jim because of his (mental) abuse. Here is a picture I can remember taking when they were not at each other, it's sad that a grown man acted so much like a spoiled rotten brat.
I went to physical therapy prior to Sydney's session and was introduced to a few new simple but yet painful chores to do. Who knew that taking a 3" diameter ring on a piece of plastic arched tubing and moving it from one side to the other would stretch things I hadn't worked in at least a year. I had to also take handles attached on a rope that went over a round pully and alternate pulling my left and right arms overhead (oh my gosh- something so simple and my left shoulder felt like a vice grip had a hold of it. Again the left side is obviously weaker than my right due to nerve damage that stemmed from my neck nerve root issues.
