My wife Joan and I spent Labor Day weekend on our boat in Oceanside California alone without the kids and I must say we were able to talk to each other in peace and quite. We were able to talk about topics that we have not shared with each other since my accident. We started talking about ways that I am different since not recalling any memories of the past 46 years. Joan mentioned that when I first came home from the hospital I was more mellow and things did not upset the way they did in my past life. Examples are being stuck in traffic, prior to my accident I was more irate and less patient with people and the way they drove in Arizona, but now after 10 months of amnesia she says that I am starting to revert back to my old ways of being less patient. I know feel more compelled to slow down and not let things bother me as much, after all I am trying to be a better man than I was before.
Joan also pointed out to me that there are many sounds that are driving me crazy that never did before such as a bag rattling in the car or the constant barking of a dog, so I guess I am becoming more patient in some area compared to others. I am really trying to be more patient in this life seeing that I have been given a clean slate to reinvent myself to be a better man.
