Bert is the only one who asks me if I need to use the restroom before he takes a shower. It is usually once a day in the evening.
Sometimes I need to move poop out of the way (I use a glove now) so I don’t roll over it when I go to the bathroom. It’s sometimes not picked up by anyone else for hours even though keys are hung there by Bert whenever he gets home. I figure if they can just step over it, its not in their way.
There are times when clothes or something else is blocking the path to the kitchen. I don’t know if it is an oversight or something else. When the trash is removed, some part of the bag is in the way exiting the kitchen. I move it so I don’t roll over it. An oversight too?
I’m not asked if my car can be used (so far Bert hasn’t needed to use it although they all have keys) or given any mail that comes for me. I used to get DVDs from Blockbuster but we know how that worked out for them.
Alexis used to bring me a candy bar occasionally. She used to bring a salad from Taco Bell or a burger from McDonalds. Been a while now.
I had a visit from a physical therapist (Summer of ‘13) who recommended I get rails for the toilet. Said it should aid me getting on/off the toilet easier, helping to prevent falls. When I brought up the subject later that evening I was told “I’m not the only one who needs to use that bathroom.” When the installer called later that week, I told him never mind. In September, Stephanie took a vacation. She said she was flying to our nation’s capital. Seems she took my car and drove instead. While she was gone, I fell in the bathroom and Bert was there to pick me up. Later that day he went out and got some rails for the toilet. Never heard if he ever got in trouble for doing that.
My first Christmas with Alexis and Bert here, they got me a 1TB external drive and some blank DVDs. The past few years I got a neck pillow and a heavier blanket this year.
