Well, I wouldn't say it was good exactly. But he stayed awake and focused on the topic. Unfortunately the topic was my mother. He really likes that topic, because it's very practical and he can suggest things to fix it, even while he simultaneously admits that it really can't be fixed.
I have no power so trying to think of what I can do just causes me needless anxiety. It's better to go to sleep and forget it. Until my mother allows me to help, there's nothing I can do.
We did however get a few laughs imagining my brother and his family living with my mother. Or my mother tormenting the staff and fellow patients at a nursing home.
I told him how our therapists seemed to be on opposite schedules. He was very sorry you had a bad session yesterday, and so am I. I hope the next one is better for you, and not so bad for me either. :)
Next week I have to see him on Monday instead of Tuesday because he has a doctor appointment. And I can't schedule an extra day because it's summer vacation. Speaking of vacation, he's off the following week. Then he's home for a week, then off for a good part of the next week. Sigh.
