I'm SO SO SO tired of my darling husband turning his chair over. I mean I'm REALLY REALLY tired of it!!!
He did it again this morning, not paying attention. He drove too close to the edge of the driveway because he was watching the dog, and he wound up on the grass, head pointed downhill.
I keep telling him that I am NOT superwoman, no matter what he might think. These accidents not only exhaust him, they exhaust me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I used to feel good that I could get him up and moving again. Now I'm pissed that I have to do it.
To his credit, he talked me through using the lift (a manual one he found on Craigslist and keeps in the very detached garage) to right the chair without rolling it over him, and then I got him up and rolled the chair under him. Scoffing when he heard me grunt got his head chewed off.
Oh, by the way, we have to leave in 45 minutes to make the 90 minute drive to Duke for Clinic.
Ok, typing it out has disapated my anger, but now I just want to cry.
