Kathy has to move her leg every few minutes or it starts to ache. It ALWAYS hurts, but when the bone pain that ice can't touch flares up, changing her leg position even a little bit can help.
I try to do what I can, and Kathy is gracious, but it is a better kind of different when one of her girls show up. I'm not offended by this, because it makes it easier on both of us.
Besides, just because I like peanut butter & banana sandwiches best, it doesn't necessarily mean Kathy does too! So when Michelle shows up and gives her peanut butter & honey sandwiches, it doesn't bother me if Kathy seems to enjoy them more than mine. Or really, when Jessica makes her PB & J's with strawberry jam, I don't mind that either. It's just a little bit different anyway. It all has peanut butter, right?
Julie stopped by today & brought drinks from my son Chris in Afghanistan. Michelle cooked the casserole that Jess made. Kathy has too much pain for me to to say she's spoiled, but I'M feeling pretty spoiled!
Michelle asked me to not mention the cornbread, so I won't
If this isn't making any sense to you, don't worry, I'm making it up as I write it.
I'm full of adrenaline.
I just gave Kathy her shot of Fragmin (a blood thinner she has to take until the Kumadin takes hold, so her vein repairs heal & her blood clots don't kill her). Belly shot or butt shot? Call me a weinie if you want to, it is NOT easy to give someone a shot!
Jess did it for me NO PROBLEM when she was here!
Michelle will sterilize the spot, but wants ME to do the dirty work!
(The differences between bananas, honey and strawberry jam).
Michelle watched "Horrible Bosses" with Kathy. I watched the Ducks beat Stanford!
See what I mean about little variations? Thought it might be getting to me deep down inside, didn't you?
Nope! It's nice!
Kathy is determined to figure out a system to be independent around the house.
The way I see it, she was independent BEFORE the accident, now it's time to try dependence for a little while. It's different!
Kinda like peanut butter & avocado sandwiches.
