And wallow in your helplessness. It'll give the family a feeling of self worth and superiority they would seldom achieve otherwise. Think of it as a gift to them.

I think my daughter likes this.
she's taken to bringing me food quite happily. My son, on the other hand, is missing my cooking.

They had best get used to it as I'm down until July.

What's wrong, broken ankle?

Yup. Broke it badly enough to require a metal plate.
I did it about a week ago, and have been gradually adjusting to my new life ever since.

The bright side, such as it is, will be that I can sue my ex wife for medical bills and liability and it will be covered by her homeowner's insurance. I can get some money for this without causing anyone too much grief. I've spoken to an insurance agent and described exactly what happened, and he says it's pretty much open and shut. I should get a nice bit of cash out of this.

Ow! Just fucking ow.
I remember when I did my wrists in. Wiping was fun. As was showering.

Then again yes, showering was fun. The wife had to soap me up and scrub.
Then again she did have a rather idiosyncratic method for willy drying.

Did you get a blow-dry-job?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 14:52, Reply)

No.
She used to wrap him in a towel then roll vigorously between her palms.
You know, like you do when warming a biro. She saw nothing wrong in it.

She now offers to dry me off when I come out of the shower.
Then laughs like a maniac. I love her.

I was initially fearful
that I would require assistance in the shower, which would have been humiliating. By all rights I should be helped in the shower, I suppose, but I'm a stubborn bastard who refuses to accept this.

But I am willing to accept having others cook and do the cleaning.
