I hope that recovery is one of the many benefits that you will reap as a reward for all your hard, beautiful work. Care giving is the most precious gift that we can give.. I know u know that, but it is beautiful to read about/watch. Thank you for sharing and leading by example. :) Elizabeth, John, Jack, and Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177382087963521875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904685628370887899.post-3595529791799616272015-01-28T11:00:09.808-05:002015-01-28T11:00:09.808-05:00Rebecca, I do because I have to.

I see that you don't like the word "average," but I interpret it to mean "typical." The major difference between yours and mine is that I have a fully functioning spouse, who brings me coffee in bed in the morning, and tends to the dog, along with every other household chore that challenges me. For example, I CAN do the laundry, but he insists on doing it. Things I'm "allowed" to do are vacuuming downstairs, cooking, making our bed, going to grocery store, loading and unloading the dishwasher, dusting, picking up, and keeping the counters clear (Tom insists they stay absolutely clear). All easy one-handed, and I don't do them all in one day.Barb Polanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673025156245739311noreply@blogger.com
