Dave goes for it! (OT)
I'm not going to try and add this to the longer post
Last night Dave said he fancied just popping down to the "Bells" for an hour to get some fresh air then he said I wouldn't like it but he wanted to pick up a prostitute and have sex with her in the bar I said "Yeah really?" He does this when he wants to tell me something I won't be keen on He then revealed what he wanted to do- he wanted to walk to the pub and back without a crutch.I said okay I can just carry it in case you need it and he insisted that we had to leave it at home. He said he had to try and I said I'd just carry it then but he said no, he was going without. In the end, I said if he got stuck it's only as far as the "Bells" and I could run back and fetch it We had a nice hour or so in the pub and Dave walked there and back without a crutch! Got him a free drink off Colin, our genial host, who has been following his progress avidly and when he walked in, greeted him with "No crutch! Fantastic! I remember when you were in a wheelchair" (One of the wheels has fallen off so Dave is now using an old office chair) Progress! Mind you his legs are very stiff today!

Last night was even better- he had been grumbling about the kitchen floor needing doing so I got out the mop and he said "But you never get it as clean as I do" and did it and the bathroom floor himself! I do get it as clean as he does but I wasn't going to disagree Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...dotes/200808/1 |

Yup, sometimes you have to leave your crutches behind,and just see whether you stand or fall on your own. With Dave, its a very literal crutch, but many if not all of us have been in the same situation, and just had to try what it was like, even if it meant risking falling on our arses. Yowie |

If you run out of things for him to do, I got 13 windows that could use a
wash! Really am glad for him, and you, that things are looking more positive. "Lesley via CatKB.com" u27720@uwe wrote in message news:893d30f8fcbda@uwe... CatNipped wrote: That's fantastic, Lesley!

I do get it as clean as he does but I wasn't going to disagree Now that is promising! Charlie and I spend far too much time hoping the other one will catch up with the cleaning. That and trying to redistribute household chores by default. You know the kind of minor things that couples take on when everyone is fine, but one does if the other isn't feeling well. When he feels good, he cleans off the kitchen counters thoroughly every day whether they need it or not. Lately he just bitches about them. I'm not all that receptive as I am not doing so well keeping up with 'my' chores either. Jo |
