Ah, how do I get destressed?? By watching shows like American Idol. By watching old re-runs of the Johnny Carson show and laughing on the couch with Alan.

Laughing always destresses me. I have to do this or I would go nuts.

Take today. Alan had his operation. All went well. Piece of cake.

Until I tried to get him home. He has never used crutches before.

Holy Cow. I never knew it could be so hard.

But the funny part was when he got off the access-a-ride and he kept screaming that his pants were falling off. I was yelling at him to put the crutches under his arms and he's yelling "but my pants are falling off". They were. I hiked them up, and we both started to laugh.

Imagine a man on crutches in a cast, laughing his head off because his pants almost fell to the floor.

If that doesn't make you laugh, nothing will.

By the way, I had to keep hiking them up.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get him undressed for bed.

I will never last a week doing this. lol
