Last night, my wife went into the hospital and later was diagnosed with appendicitis, which, if my guess is correct, has been dealt with as of this morning. When I was growing up, appendicitis was something contracted by some, but not by others ... but all of them were kids like me.
Now a couple of older Americans (to be delicate about it) are confronted with a discombobulation accompanied by snow that needs to be shoveled. What do we do when both of us reach the fragile end of the stick? Well, maybe there will be a couple of teenagers looking to make a buck shoveling the snow in front of this house.
Well, it'll work out or it won't, but I concede I am resentful of my weakness and need to sit down when to-ing-and-fro-ing to the hospital or (assuming I can make it a reality) shoveling snow.

Declining from age can be overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteHope your wife has a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteSorry to learn you have problems shoveling. Time comes to get your tax dollars worth. If the city mandates sidewalk sholving, and fines for non-compliance they need to provide assistance for those with issues.
