Man At Home
Thu Dec 23 2004

Hub Man is home for the day.

It's so nice to have a man around the house.

Only thing is, he is tucked up on the couch with his left foot up on a mountain of pillows because he managed to sprain his ankle in a parking lot after slipping on some transmission fluid yesterday.

It must REALLY hurt, because he is actually staying put on said couch. He is usually the king of denial in the pain department, so I'm convinced the paint levels must be impressive.

So far he has been a fairly good patient. We will see how things progress as the day goes on.

One interesting socialogical observation however. . .

Here is a picture of the equipment required for the modern male invalid.

It's the two phones that get me. I will not bore you with a description of what controls what, but believe it or not, there are actually two more that could be added, but he doesn't think he will be needing those this morning. But who knows how things may change by afternoon. . .

And underneath it all are the phone numbers of family and friends, so he can regale them with the grisly details of his injury.

Me, I have to go on the hunt for something called and "air cast" which we are told will be de rigure in a few days time.

December always HAS been a rather dicey month in the karma department around our house. Looks like this year is no exception.

    I'm waiting for the entry that reads:

    I'm gonna KILL that man!!

    Men are not patient patients. They don't know how to handle incapacity. Or yours may be the kind who behaves himself. But I've known only one of that ilk.

    Honey, I'm thirsty.....
    Please get me....
    I need......
    Sit down and talk to me....
    When can I have another pain pill....

    or

    (moan) (groan) (suffering in not quite silence)
    No, I don't need another pain pill.

    Or he could play with his toys and let the ankle heal. Without driving you to distraction.

    One can hope.

    Shalom

    A hearty "Get Well Soon!" to Hubman, and sincere condolences to you! The Aircast is good, just remember to have him wear a cotton sock that's longer than the Aircast under it. That smooth plastic gets sweaty fast.

    I hope he gets to feeling better soon. That remote control collection looks remarkably similar to the one that adorns our coffee table on a daily basis. Is it possible that you have as many toys as we do? :o)

    What impresses me is that he actually knows how to use all those remotes. After an evening of trying to program my VCR I was so frustrated with one remote I almost beat the darned machine with it. Five remotes would send me into a mood so ugly I cannot even contemplate it on Christmas Eve. LOL

    Hope Hub Man recovers soon.

    My sympathies to your poor Hub Man and I hope the ankle gets better soon. Not very compassionate of me but I laughed out loud a lot when I saw the picture of the mountain of remote controls. What is it with men and buttons? I also laughed at the list of people he will be phoning to give blow by blow details of the war wound.

    Poor Hub Man and poor you, because you know in just a couple of days if he's still out of commission you WILL need a plattoon of servants to help meet the average invalided male's demands.

    hugs

    PS Hope you had a good Hannukah!
