OMG--Stu is milking this one. We stopped at Wendy's on the way home yesterday to get a Frosty and a fish sandwich, picked up the dog, and headed home. Stu took a 4 hour nap. He wanted spaghetti and meatballs for dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants. I told him "no shower, no spaghetti". He finally showered, shaved, and put on fresh clothes. Yeah!!! When we arrived at the restaurant (cap and pirate patch on), he ordered a salad with salmon. Go figure.
Stu didn't sleep well last night, but at least he stayed in bed. I slept in the guest room next door because I have a wicked cold and cough and didn't want to keep him up (okay, he didn't want me to keep him up). Stu just hollered if he needed anything. He wore one of those eye covers they (used to) give you on long plane trips to keep the light out. He wouldn't take it off this morning to go to the family room. So, I led the blind man with the catheter out to the family room, propped him on the chair in front of the TV, and made him coffee served with a bendy straw, 2 Pop tarts, got his slippers, a blanket, made him Orange Jell-O with pineapple, and took care of the dogs. Now he is asleep in the chair. It is going to be a looonnnng day.

ReplyDeleteLove,

You have definitely not lost your sense of humor! That is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteWe love your blog. Hope Stu loves it as much as we do.
Hey Stu, you are one lucky puppy to have Deb watching over you. I think if you keep those showers going you'll probably get more treats.

Dr. Bash..we are so glad to hear that Stu is now comfy at home with all his love ones!
ReplyDeleteYep looks like you will need to put on that cute little waitress outfit for a short time as he probably will be working it! But in the long run well worth it...
Take care, Michele/Plastic
So glad to hear that you are home. Nothing helps healing like being home and having your spouse take care of you I am sure. And when he gets stir crazy at least he is stir crazy at home.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are able to get some sleep Stu.
Pop tarts and bendy straws sounds like great pampering!!

Stu,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being home!...there's nothing like your own bed! Also, glad to hear your eating so well (choke, choke) \"/ There's nothing like good junk food to get you back in Ironman shape!
Enjoy all the personal care from your lovely wife, and remember to thank her profusely!!! She's an angel!
Take care--both of you!
Hugs,
Kaye & Paul
Had to check the blog today and I am glad I did! I had a few days to catch up on and I laughed the whole time reading it! You are very funny, no wonder Stu loves you so much! :) You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that things are going well at home. They will only get better! Don't let him eat too many pop tarts- he may start wanting a piggy back ride instead of walking on his own. Geez- wouldn't that be the icing on the cake!
Hugs & hugs-
Kelli
