A weedy life
Pardon the silence as I try and compete with the weeds in the garden. I keep thinking that if I get on top of the weeds there will be a little break.....
Thank you for asking. Though the patient is in a lot of pain and flat on her back kind of sick feeling. Can't do without the pain meds, but they sure are wierd.
My mom lived with me for 5 weeks last summer after she broke her wrist and had 2 surgeries. I so hear you on needing help. Actually, we got it down to needing help driving places, cutting food and showering. Hopefully she'll need less help as she feels better.

And how's the patient?

Man, I feel your pain! Good luck with all the weeding!
The thing is that she is so much help! I rely on her garden labor, she grinds wheat, and generally pitches in.
Now she needs me to fix every meal and help her dress!
