My Best Friend

[limey]

I think age differences are really unimportant. I've had close friends who are the same age as my parents, and some who are young enough to be my kids. You relate, and are there for each other when you need each other, that's what's important.

very true.

today wasn't so bad with one exception. he did like i asked him to which was to call me if he decided to go for a walk. then he took another this evening which he did holler upstairs to me to let me know he was going for one. piece of mind i guess. for me anyway. so he'll go out into the street with his walker and play in traffic. you know, safe shit like play chicken with F-250's and Silverado's and even the occasional AMC Gremlin and/or Pinto.

(yes i'm kidding!we're on a boulevard and our side is shut down for construction so he cruises around in the blocked off portion of the street)

the one exception happened only about 15 minutes ago when he was negotiating the stairs to go to bed. he got up the first set and when stepping up to the second set his knee gave out on him and i had to help him up. no biggie really. just a reality check for him if you will.

then when i'm helping him get settled in his bedroom he mentioned that he has another exercise to do. i said, what's that? he said to practice taking the stairs more often. oh hell no! after that? while i'm not here? uhuh. no way man. i asked him to please not do that while i'm not home. not yet anyway. i said, how would you like if you fell like you did just now and no one is here to help you? he didn't have to answer that one, lol.
