If you liked my last post, youll love this one (especially Shannon)....This is called Get Up. Those of you who have had heart procedures or give care, know it is most important to be up and moving as much as possible to rebuild the heart and lung strength. Just so you know, Im not a warm and fuzzy care-giver (that is Shannons way). So, I allow Ted a few hours at a time in laying down to rest. So, today, I let him lay down to rest but informed him that he would be getting up after a certain period of time. First calling was me rubbing his cheek and arm, saying sweetly ted, get up and lets sit up and do your breathing exercises and I get a uh-huh; second verse same as the first (10 minutes later); third verse (10 minutes later) was a bit firmer, minus the rubbing of the cheek Now, lets get up Ted...e on now; fourth verse (10 minutes later) was yelled from the bedroom door YOU GET OUT OF THAT BEEEEEEDDDDD RIGHT NOW....NEXT TIME I COME IN HERE, IM COMING WITH ICE. IT WORKED FOR MY FATHER, IT WILL WORK FOR ME.....NOW GET UP! The covers came flying back with a Gah! Shellie, youre so mean....I wish Shannon was here. She would be nice to me. Stomping in the living room, grrrrrring. Finally as he sits up, eats a bite, does his breathing exercises we have a lovely conversation. See FIRM (not mean) does work sometimes. I did tell him I would let Shannon come over from time to time and be the sweet one and pamper and spoil him.
