Rainy day so it was a great morning to sleep in, and as we leisurely went about getting dressed - or i should say i went about getting Mac dressed, he said...Wow you are so good to me what a good girl you are...why do you do so much for me. "I said well for one thing I'm married to you.. "you are, said Mac, well how about that...Have you got some proof? Wow, why do you need proof, i said very concerned ...he said "well if you arn't my wife, I can kick you out and get someone else...and with that, I said...hey you have a nerve, - but he quickly said, 'just kidding, you are irreplaceable and i love you....he continues to make me laugh, and at times make me cry, but i have so many concerns now.
At this time he has complained about his arms being sore, and he has such trouble getting out of chairs, going up and down stairs, getting in and out of cars etc etc. and still will NOT use his cane. I told him i will get in touch with the CLSC to see if we can get physiotherapy for him..I reminded him that my sister Ellen had the same problems, and she found that she was getting much better with her physio therapist helping her. Mac replied " are you kidding, are we talking about your sister..i said yes she found it helped a good deal...He laughed and said, oh yeah, and look where she is now...(well she is no longer living, but still) always the joker he continued joking for most of the day, even at Sandbags where we go on Fridays...he couldnt get out of the toilet stall, door was not locked but he was confused.. when he got out he just laughed and said, "have to keep you on your toes...well he sure does.
later had to go to the bathroom myself, and after being in the damn men's room got confused myself and almost went in the men's, a man was there washing his hands, i said , oooh sorry, got mixed up..."he said, tha'ts alright come in I waanna show you something?? Well enough of these crazy people i meet and live with...
Must get serious and to make sure, i've called the case worker and left a very detailed msg on her answering machine...now i hope I can get some help..as we seem to have arrived at that point in time..speaking of time, it's time to watch the news, with the man who wants proof, and feed the cat and get the two of them to bed, g'nite.
What a cutie Mac is ... still a tease. Seems that the love you share helps to keep him grounded ..
ReplyDeleteWith you on the journey ...looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks when we drive all that way for Leonard ...and dinner with you.
