In Remembrance
|
I woke up with a burr on my butt and got moving fast. 1st I visited the potty, then I damp Swiffered the floors in the bath room and hall, got everything prepared for my shower/bath, transferred to showerchair, oil of olay bodywashed myownself, washed and rinsed my hair, dryed off, put on clean robe, transferred, gingerly to the scooter, without falling, fixed my hair, put on a dash of makeup and scooted to the kitchen, where I fixed some lunch for the pup and me, scooted to the living room, transfered to the sofa and flopped.
Why can't I just jump up and do these little everyday things things without needing a two week vacation, afterward? You'd thought I just ran the 50 mile marathon, with no shoes. That's why I only do this ritual once per week, instead of every day. The rest of the week I just wash the stinky parts and dust off. Did I mention that I hate this Disease? Rant Over.... Next....

Awww, that stinks, Sal.
Er, uh, or not -- you did say you keep the stinky parts washed off. I'm sorry, my friend, that you have to pay such a high price just to do what others take for granted.

I have company, so I am really struggling to keep up to the normal duties that go with that. I want a nap!

That's the part of this disease that stinks the most, don't you agree? We all want to function as normally as possible, but it's such a project just to do the basic things...we definitely become experts at prioritizing our time...
at least you're all flowery-smelling, Sal!!

I do know what you mean. I don't look forward to weekends anymore, because it takes so darn long to clean the house, after I do, I can't do anything for three days or more. My husband says, you wanted a big house, I say I know.....
