[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663020, member: 18958"] OK, PASA. Let's look at this. I do not doubt the veracity of the diagnoses. And I accept that any good cheer he showed after his surgery was the pain killer. Except I do not. I think that a part of his down and out attitude might be because he got caught with the marijuana and is slammed back into confinement. Which is to say he does not like the consequences. Had he been la, la, la, la, doing what he wanted, the center of attention, planning for the life of riley with the new job and the marijuana, flirting with the nurses' aid, soon to be in your house and boss...his attitude might be different. This does not mean he is faking it. It means to some extent he feels sorry for himself. How could he not? I would not put forth any of this to the professionals. Or to him. This is just another point of view, so that you are not in so much agony. If you begin talking to your son about his future life as an adult, he may take heart because you are thinking of him as such. There may even be vocational counseling available through the program. Something may motivate him: A hobby, job training, an independent living situation....something. Now might also be the time to think about applying for SSI, and getting yourself named as payee.
