There was a time when Kathy's left leg hogged all my anger because of the way it blocked any chance of comfort for her.
Now the left leg is still in the spotlight, more for what it WON'T do than what it does. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't let up on being a comfort block, the leg still produces alot of that "P" word that I told myself not to write in this post (in case the left leg is reading this & derives some sort of satisfaction from it).
No, the thing that is most concerning is Kathy's inability to move her left foot. We need to ramp up her foot flexing excercises because her foot is trying to drop and tighten up. When Kathy tries to move her foot, all she gets is a vague elusiveness that enfuriates.
Like the foot of a rainbow, her foot always feels "somewhere else".
Wish I could describe how much it helps Kathy to have someone here. Little things like picking up a hand towel that is on the floor, making coffee, cleaning up a sick cat's mess next to the only toilet in the house that Kathy can use (that really happened this morning. good thing I didn't leave her alone. she would've had to push her foot in it!), putting that cat outside & locking the cat door, etc.
Good timing. Jerome just showed up. That means I get to go to work (oh Joy!).
