I glanced at my schedule. The past week had been rather slow, and I had an afternoon off today. I decided to spend it with Ethan. I was getting increasingly concerned about his progress. While he was mostly healed, he still required rehabilitation before he would be back to his full health. He was still unable to walk or even stand on his own, and the therapist told me in passing that it didn’t seem like he was motivated enough to make the improvements.

She complained that he was a challenging patient and often cut the sessions short. She was beginning to become concerned, as he was losing muscle mass due to lack of use. I sighed as I headed into his room. He sat in his wheelchair and pulled at his hoodie in frustration. I walked up to him and adjusted it for him.

“Thanks. The damn thing always gets stuck behind my back and pulling it back seems easier said than done.”

I bit my tongue as a comment about it being easier if he did his physical therapy properly crossed my mind. Ethan adjusted himself a bit.

“What time is your therapy today?” I asked as I passed him a bottle of juice I’d picked up for him on my way to his room.

He shrugged. “The therapist should be here any minute,” he told me shortly.

I nodded as I made his bed before sitting down on a chair next to him. It wasn’t long before the therapist arrived. I hesitated for a bit, wondering whether there was something I could do to motivate Ethan to work harder on himself.

“Are you ready to get started today?” she asked Ethan after exchanging a few pleasantries with both of us.

He grumbled under his breath before nodding.

I stood up to leave, then glanced at the therapist. “I have my afternoon free, would it be ok if I joined you today?” I asked her; the woman glanced at Ethan before responding.

“It shouldn’t be a problem. Having moral support is often quite helpful,” she told me as we headed into the therapy room.

I glanced at Ethan, who seemed more than a little bit irritable. I suppressed a sigh. I knew that he had a very good chance at being up and running sooner than he thought, if only he could prioritize his well being over the rest of his problems. I sat down on a bench, watching Ethan and her work. At first, things seemed to go well, but it wasn’t for long.

“Just a little bit more pressure, Ethan. I know you can do it,” she told him.

He sniggered at her. “Don’t you think I would if I could?” he snapped as he crossed his arms across his chest.

“You need to believe that you can and try as hard as you can manage. We talked about it,” she responded softly.

He let out a short laugh. “Do you have any idea how patronizing you sound? Not like you have any idea how difficult it is, is it?” he snapped at her.
