The Mister took family leave to help me out and he has been doing all the cooking/dishes/laundry ... he's basically been me for the last seven days and I must say that on a scale from one to 10 he's been an 8. And THAT'S A GOOD score for recuperating in Dannyland. HOWEVER ....
I do seem to get getting very winded answering his questions nine thousand times a day which then makes me light headed and then I have to lay down to rest and basically all of this could be avoided if it went like this:
I ASK A QUESTION.
DAN ANSWERS QUESTION.
I ASK A QUESTION.
DAN ANSWERS QUESTION (GET IT?) Kind of like volleyball.
That is not what has been happening. It's been more like this:
Me: Honey, can you bring me my phone?
Dan: You want your phone?
Me: Yes.
Dan: Why do you want your phone?
GOD HELP ME.
Me: I need to make a phone call.
Dan: You need to make a phone call?
Me: YES.
Dan: Where is your phone?
GETTING FAINT.
NEXT TOPIC ....
Me: Honey, can you bring me some water?
Dan: You want water?
Me: Yes.
Dan: Why do you want water?
Me: To take my pills.
Dan: You need to take your pills?
Me: (sigh) ... yes.
Dan: Where is the water?
I CAN'T.

PRAY FOR ME.
I'll give him points for trying, and for making me laugh!
ReplyDeleteUGH ... you're welcome. GIMME DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteOMG! I had that operation in 1989; it hurt like an SOB on steroids. do not lift anything, take your time healing. make danny work for you!
ReplyDeleteTELL ME ABOUT IT! I've never had surgery ... did not expect inability to move, roll, sit, etc. Oh ... gotta run ... Mister is taking off on a bike ride (SMH).
DeleteOh my god, I love you so much! This makes me appreciate my Boo (I know, Boo? Ick!) more just for him emptying the dishwasher after 18 years of living with one. I had to almost die and was too weak to move, but he did it! Emptying the dishwasher is my exercise, so I've been told. I was always funny back in ice cube days, how the trays only needed washing when he emptied them. So there they sat until I saw fit to wash them and then fill them. I feel your pain, sweetie. I hope you are well on your way to recovery, so you can get back your fighting strength!
ReplyDeleteSo, last request was "please change the sheets on the bed, fax paperwork to insurance, to go CVS for prescriptions and Milk of Magnesia so I can FINALLY GO TO THE BATHROOM.
DeleteSure! He says .... after my bike ride. I tell you girl ... I BETTER DIE FIRST!
LOVE YOU!!!!!
