This likely won't be the final post for the evening. But, I felt like saying something all the same. I still have to put the bed together with clean sheets. Which isn't my idea of fun. However, I got everything washed and dried. I even kind of folded the sheets and put them away. I seriously need to take the time and work on actually folding and putting the laundry away. Chilly is keeping George company while George makes himself at home on the couch. Still got to work on when he says 'no' when he means 'yes', However, he's doing a lot better with holding conversations and talking the way we do in normal conversation.

No matter what, it seems there is always laundry to do, and you probably have bedding as well as clothes every day right now. I am sure having him engage in a normal conversation means so much!

While he's incontenant, I'm actually only washing laundry twice a week and washing our sheets every two weeks. He wakes up soaked, but he stays dry most of the day so I can re-use shirts. And, I save the good ones for when we're out in public.

@MarieCoyle I know he does. Feeling the way he does, he just can't bring himself to care about a lot of things.

@kaylachan Hopefully, as his body repairs itself and he gets better, that will get better, too. I am sure he wants to be like he used to be.

@RebeccasFarm George and I don't live in a trailer park or HOA. So, code wouldn't be called unless a neighbor complained.

It's not really that hard. I just have to add tube feeds and pills into the mix. Things like the lawn can wait until George is ready to do it, himself.

@kaylachan Here they would be calling code if the grass was too long. So mean.

I'm glad things are going well with George, and you got the sheets washed, dried, and folded. Sheets aren't easy to fold unless you have help. I have a king-size bed and live alone, so folding them is a chore.

George and I have a queen. That's plenty big enough for the both of us.

@just4him George and I are small by most standards for adults. So, a queen is more than large enough.

@kaylachan I've had a king since I was married. He was tall and the only thing that worked was the king.

His progress gives me hope that my husband will be up and walking in a month. Have a good weekend.

If your husband is determined, then he will be. If he's getting therapy and trying.

Good luck with the sheets. I agree that's a nightmare. Onward and upward.

I'm still keeping to my schedule of every two weeks. It's worked out so far. I can popp the padding George sleeps on into the dryer in-between if needed.
