“Life is haphazard. We plan, and then we deal when the plans go awry. Control is an illusion; best intentions are the best we can do.”

But we are finding laughter in the kitchen and finding ways to embrace this conundrum we find ourselves in. We are able to recognize the assets of modern medicine, and understand the opportunity put before us - to work on working together.
“It’s great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”

Last week my husband got a pacemaker. I vowed to care for him, as it has been a bit of journey to get here. Then two days later, while I was out walking Baker, he darted at another dog, tripped me and I fell and broke my right wrist. So now my husband and I are taking care of each other, both of us down to one hand.
As someone who is use to being in controle of the things, I am actually in need of more help than he is right now, as he can use his prominent hand, while I can’t. This is not how it was supposed to be.
