Finally got my hair washed today after 4 days. It's amazing how a nice shampoo can make you feel! Thanks so much to my Mom for being my nurse. She has been sponge bathing me everyday and has laughed with me and cried. It's not easy being an adult and relying on someone to take care of you in this way. She is no spring chicken but that doesn't stop her. She is more than willing to wash me up and make me feel better. Don't know what I am going to do when she leaves on Saturday.
When you are healthy and well, you take everything for granted. The simplest things like brushing your teeth, eating and getting dressed. When you have to rely on people to help you with these things, it becomes very humbling. I am sure it's not easy for my Mom to see me this way, nor is it easy for me to let her see me like this. Throughout your life, you never imagine that your parents will have to take care of you this way. It's like a repeat of childhood. We always think that it will be us taking care of our parents, making up for all they have done for us. Thank you Mom for being such a great support to me.
