Pulling on pyjamas, Opening a bottle of beer, Cutting up dinner, Trying to wash my hair, The kitchen's new decoration, Most of a tin of soup, Asking him to help me, That's now just on a loop! These are just a few things, Troubling peeps across the land, A few things that frustrate, Those of us down to one hand! 3 weeks until more x-rays, Then this cast should be gone, 3 weeks of co-dependence, It's going to seem so long, His patience it is lasting, How much longer? I don't know, "Could you just do one more thing? Before you really have to go?" I suspect that I annoy him, I annoy myself much more, But then I have to remember, I've been through similar before, All those years in wheelchairs, Learning everything anew, It's just another 3 weeks, And bones will knit like glue, A permanent solution, Is required just for the beer, Perhaps a Camelback ™?, That I could hold so dear! I'm not an alcoholic, But sure as eggs is eggs, I'll be in the mood for a wee one, And there'll only be the dregs! Slow & steady is my motto, It worked for tortoise but not hare, Slow & steady at the moment, Eventually I'll get there.
