"don't bend over" is too vague for this techie. slight bend, bend to heart level, bend to waist level, bend totally over?

"don't look down" is impossible for my wife when she gets up from the couch and in other situations.

Don't lift is also vague. A friend said 5 lb which makes sense and is doable.

Ask the surgeon for clarification.

That thing wecall luck was with him. Missed the house, missed the bushes, broken door on the van, yeah, I'd definitely call that luck as close as that was to a catastrophe, lol.

Then ask your MD. All I can tell you is that bending, squatting and lifting were verboten

I did. Don't bend lower than heart level.

 

[sun rise]

Pretty sure it all just means don't swivel your eyes around. And don't bend over meaning bending at the waist. And don't lift more than about 5 lbs. But I am not a surgeon so she really should ask the surgeon!

The surgeon said 10 pounds.

Now we need to work on when she's going to need help. For example, getting out of bed at 1am and 4am for bathroom runs.

Then don't bend lower than heart level

She bends over to get up from the bed and couch at least. We're looking at that today.

Well, the surgery is easy, but it's still surgery. She simply will not be able to bend over from heart level.

All I remember being told was not to swivel my eyes around and not to lift much weight. I don't think I was told not to bend over but it makes sense.

Could she use your arm or other ibject to pull herself up without bending?

 

[sun rise]

Yes. My arm

Yes. My arm

So please tell me that you also can go potty at least once!

Ares just called me a *****, packed his stuff into a grocery sack, said he's taking his **** and leaving in the truck.

I was just sitting on the couch... What did I do?

Took off my good clothes and put on my old beat up clothes. Probably oughta prepare for the worst.

 

[Wu Wei]

Logging off the phone too, so i can get some exercise in

Any sign of him?

 

[JustGeorge]

Any sign of him?

Well, he didn't leave in the truck.

There's no battery in it, and Ares doesn't know how to drive. I corralled him back into the house against his will.

He was 'off' for awhile, and is still a bit unstable, but isn't currently acting out.

In lieu of a happy ending, that will have to suffice.

Neutral endings are fine, too.

Happy seems greedy.
