Man, that's a lot of hardware to be carrying.

I'd say, get well soon, but I suspect there is a rehab plan and the only bit marked "soon" is "begin". So: get well thoroughly.

yeah, that about sums it up.

he's been able to sleep really well the last two nights which is a huge plus. he's in good spirits and getting around the house. taking care of him is a chore though. from laundry to cooking among a few other duties.....hell i'm trying to get office work done and it's hard. i'm on the last drawing of 12 that i started yesterday and when i finish that i have to start another project i was supposed to of started yesterday.

gonna be a busy next few weeks i think.

Glad to hear your friend's getting some sleep and in good spirits. That goes a long way ... still, it's a lot for you. He's lucky to have such a good friend. Take care of yourself in the next few weeks, too.

I finally got the last boxes unpacked, broken down, and into storage ... now have to hang a few pics and get this place looking homey. I'm loving just having my own space. It's making me happy today!

nothing like having your own space/place. do what ya want, when ya want and how ya want!

Roommate was able to walk to the corner of the street earlier (about 250 yds or so). i was up here working on a project and had no idea he'd even left. (that kinda irked/startled me a bit him not saying he was leaving) but anyway he'd gotten back and decided to take a shower. the downstairs bathroom isn't that big but i am thankful that when we remodeled the shower we made it as big as possible. if we'd of kept the old shower there's no way his chair and him would've fit in there.

the shower however went really well. i was surprised to see how well he got in and out. hell i'm amazed at the progress he's made in the 2 days he's been home!

Dude, smack him on the arm for me and tell him that's not cool! What if he'd fallen down three houses away? How long before someone came to help him?

no shit! i understand he needs exercise and all but, really?? crap let me know when you leave dork!

orthodoc · 07-01-2012, 05:40 PM

Umm, yeah. He needs to work with you, here ... I'm sure he's anxious to regain his independence, but - a little common sense goes a long way.

plthijinx · 07-01-2012, 05:46 PM

he just laid down for a nap then asked me to clip his toenails

i did ask him to let me know if he leaves like that. so i know to either expect him back or walk with him. something. just to be aware.

Lovely lady at work told me I've made this term bearable for her.
I mean, not me personally, but my cakes. Still - she sees it as the same thing.

She has had a tough term, uncertaincy about her future, long term illness of her class teacher (who she works with very well) which meant a succession of fill-ins and temps, and eventually discovering he had accepted a promotion at another school. Not connected to his illness, but it meant things went from bad to worse for her.

She said even when things were grim she had an element of hope coming in on a Monday morning, wondering if I had made something.

She's said something similar before, but I know she genuinely means it. Things are better for her now at work as the replacement is named and she knows her. Also her job is no longer in jeopardy; it never was but communication was poor for a while.

It really made me day.
I will bake next week even if it is cupcakes.
I might try the Olympic rings. If I don't get slapped with a suit for copyright infringement that is!
