- Help me walk
- Take Chipson out to go potty (including during her bloody-diarrhea giardia episode that had her up every hour on the hour in the middle of the night for a few days)
- Clean up after Chipson when she doesn't make it outside in time
- Clean the house
- Make breakfast, lunch, and dinner (I can't even make cereal without making a mess and working up a sweat from hopping around the kitchen)
- Get me things to drink when I'm upstairs, downstairs, or on the couch
- Carry everything for me (I can't even scratch my nose and walk at the same time because of my crutches)
- Drive us everywhere (to the hospital, to Spokane, to the grocery store, everywhere)
- Help me bathe
- Help me pack my stuff for our recent trip to Spokane
- Load everything into the car for our recent trip to Spokane
- Do my laundry (although I have been able to at least fold my clothes)
- Help me navigate rough terrain
- Feed Chipson every morning and evening
- Get the mail
- Bring me my vicodin
- Constantly ask, "What can I do for you?"
- Organize little picnics and trips to the park so we can get out of the house
- Play with Chipson since I lost my speed
- Make the bed every morning
- Buy birthday presents for family members
- Take Chipson for walks
- Rub my legs when they get sore (my left one because it carries the burden of my whole body, and my right one because it has to hold my up right foot off the ground all the time)
- Work from home so she can attend to my every need
- Hold me when I'm sad because I can't do stuff
The list goes on and on and on and on and on. Obviously, there is a lot to do when you need to take care of yourself, one puppy, and one immobilized husband. But with a superwoman like Jenny, you'd think it was just another day in the life. I love her lots.
I am REALLY not that awesome, you just think so because I keep giving you your drugs.

This is the sweetest thing I have ever read, and I hope to have it myself one day. Congrats to you and your happiness.
ReplyDeleteAwww... You guys make such a great couple. Jenny is awesome, and it's great to see she has such an appreciative husband. Hope you heal quickly, Morgan!
