Having the patience to pay attention was the biggest challenge for me. With the Nintendo Switch I’d been given on the drive here from the hospital, I had a ready source of distraction right on hand. My aunt and uncle had let me play as much as I wanted, until that time when I had been up nearly all night and had been too groggy to do anything the following day. I now had to relinquish the gaming system before going to bed.
The point is that I have a hard time paying attention to anything else when I’m playing videogames. I get so absorbed in the world that I don’t even hear Aunt Lydia when she is calling my name, much less noticing the urine that is soaking into my diaper or pull-up. That wasn’t as much of a problem the first two weeks here, as I had been stuck with the diapers and hadn’t bothered much with trying to use the toilet except when I needed to go number two.
