I've got one myself, wadded up in this pocket of a coat I try to stash way back in the closet.<BR/><BR/>My caretaking role hwas been with my mother however so it is different. I can't help but be annoyed today at the hours and weeks and months I spent with her a physical therapy only to have her sit down in the wheelchair and expect be waited upon from the last day of therapy forward. Not without commentary of how miserable she is.<BR/><BR/>So it is great that Mr. K, is already doing steps. He wants to be back. That makes a difference. It will be better soon for his strength and desire.<BR/><BR/>I often wish for a brother or sister to share the responsibilities and expectations. Sometimes it seems like a long row to hoe.

More delivery food isn't so healthy though. But we do have a company called On The Run, and they actually deliver FROM major restaurants in the area (For a fee). But it's handy sometimes. :)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good fight. He's lucky to have you.<BR/><BR/>Re: the top quote... I'm a firm believer in walking out of my house like a Shephard.
