Well,
I tattled on him to her nurse. So she comes in looks at me and says "Is he always like this?" He says "Like what?" and she says "A difficult patient." Then she proceeds to tell him that the outcome of his surgery is strictly in his hands, that I don't HAVE to do anything.

Then she tells us that he must do everything on the list for two more weeks and he starts complaining. She looks at me and says "Make a schedule and have him read it, agree with it and sign it." "If he doesn't agree with the schedule, have him call me about any part of it he doesn't agree with."

We did this and I put it on the fridge with a magnet. Now if he argues, I can just point him to the schedule.

It has his signature on it.
