Ifn ya don't! All I would do is PLUNK THE INSTRUCTIONS for his 'care and feeding' during recovery under his NOSE and Chirp out Time for # 2! now...and NO COMPLAINTS.... IF so call yer doc and have some stranger come in and do all and I mean ALL the 'details'! HERE is the phone?
Amazing how grown-ups become kids in some ways when we've got owies? Now for me, these days, spending life in the 'recliner' is really far better more comfy than being in bed? But...that's me. I can also appreciate the need for a good nite sleep vs/ being 'vigilant' for the med doses.. That is the drawback of snooze alarms? My only solution aside from bed is to find a 'recliner' that is YOURS? One that can support you for the interim times and, at times the long term times. Billye, what a way to be going w/o help! I sure wish you could find some that could just do some 'simple things' for the duration! My heart is with you and have some ![]() ![]() |

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. Billye

Reading this is like reading a Melody's hubby story!
But what amazes me, Billye, is that a year ago I can't imagine you being physically capable of doing this. As much pain as you are in these days, the recovery, as seen from this, is remarkable. He's a lucky man, that guy who wouldn't buy the laptop! Yes, I do know he is a darling.....and he takes good care of you when you need caring for. I have a tad of envy of you married folk; life is certainly easier when you have another sentient mammal to share it with!

I say to him "Alan, do you know that you are a sentient mammal?? He removes his headphones and says: "I'm a What???" I said again "you are a sentient mammal". He says: "WHY??" I said "no, not why, this is what you are, you are a sentient mammal, don't you know what a sentient mammal is??" He says: "I have no idea what you are talking about, I'm watching LAW AND ORDER".
