The Weekend

As promised by my doctor, the numbing shot wore off within 24 hours, so Saturday and Sunday were a little less fun than Friday, but it gave Nurse Glenn a chance to show that he can take it.  At one point I said "I'm trying to be a little less demanding."  Glenn says "You can be as demanding as you want."  I needed to include that on the blog to get a record of it, and take a vote--does that statement come with an expiration date?

Earlier, I mentioned to him that the cat litter needs changed every day (mentioned...my way of being bossy)  and Glenn says "I change the litter every other day."  Me:  "It should be changed every day."  Glenn:  "There are going to be some changes around here now that you're not in charge." 

Can't wait to see the next round of changes...it's OK with me so long as he continues to bring me drinks and to be available when I call him.   Glenn's sister Marilyn says their family doesn't come with really good caregiving genes.  She took care of her sister-in-law when she had a foot problem and Marilyn said within a few days she was responding to "Marilyn?"  with "What the hell do you want!" 

Glenn's been cooking, bringing me anything I ask for and checking with me to see what he can do for me.  And he still looks relaxed and can smile.  What a gem!
