My grandmother had knee replacement surgery last summer. I went to make her breakfast, came back out to her dancing on her walker. It was a moment when I didn't know whether to freak out or laugh (I did a little of both.) Thankfully she allowed us to take care of her for once, but it was a struggle at first. She wanted to cook and do everyone's laundry and couldn't see a silly knee surgery as reason enough to stop her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397400242153470523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-43357913154593487552015-05-06T04:39:43.987+10:002015-05-06T04:39:43.987+10:00My mum's frustrated us a bit sometimes, she, t...My mum's frustrated us a bit sometimes, she, trying to be 'independent' when she should be resting / not doing stuff to hurt herself.neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-36918666611893653562015-05-06T04:38:26.018+10:002015-05-06T04:38:26.018+10:00aaaaaaaagh aaaaaaggggggh

He refuses to seek assistance when he should (both for collapsed lungs and for his ruptured bowel) and is a truly vile convalescent. He doesn't complain about pain - even when he should, but suits himself about what he does and doesn't do. Which makes my life tricky.
