BUT - nobody ever said that it would be fair!
We had a terrible night last night - poor Mr. Indi's bowels started to move - at about 10:30 pm - while I was fast asleep - Argggg! I was awoken by this horrible yell - "Oy - I need you!" I spent the next hour and a half putting him on the pan - taking him off the pan - putting him on the pan again. We went through about 300 yards of lavatory paper Pfft! Do you know the price of lavatory paper?
I finally got into my bed at 12:00 - and was so happy to rest my poor old back which I have put out by carrying heavy grocery bags. Or maybe it's getting those diapers on Mr. Indi's big old bum! Pfft!
On Thursday, I was talking to the pharmacist in our local grocery store - we were discussing bed sores - particularly Mr. Indi's bum sores. He said that there is no real cure - the problem is that our skin gets thin and does not repair itself as we get old. The joys of reaching the "Golden Age" Arggggg!
So, today is a long and sad day - I wish he could get out of bed and join me for a trip to the craft store - he needs paints and stuff for his modeling - but I will have to go and guess what it is that he needs. It is more than sad - for a 58 year old man, who has worked so hard all his life, to be a prisoner in a bed - unable to control his bodily functions - it stinks! (Argggg!)
Happy Easter Bunny to all of those who believe in him - I do! I'm hoping he leaves me a chocolate egg! Yumm!
The pic is one of the blossoms on my flowering cherry tree - I think it's a pretty good shot.

Wish the Easter bunny would bring you some respite sis. Love you guys xxxxxx
Happy Easter to the both of you.
I often think about that too ... you work hard all your life and cancer takes away your dignity. That is not fair ... not that cancer cares.
I think the shot of the blossom is lovely.
well done indi,
find the beauty in each day :o)

Indi, shame on you for taking advantage of Good Friday! I've sat in the back row myself for a quick exit, only not for the same reason. lol
Years ago, I wanted to be a nurse and I still remember all about bed soares from my experience working in a nursing home. My heart goes out to mr. indi. Maybe you might want to consider looking into the healing benefits of Tea Tree Oil for bed soares?

I buy tea tree oil for hand therapy and it does wonders for my old wash women hands. lol
