MY PAIN IS YOUR GAIN

I'm a single father of two beautiful chidren and I live in Novato, CA. I am also the embodiment of several neurotic tendencies. But you will find that out soon enough.

I'll be writing honest blog entries about my trials and successes as a single father. Tune in to hear about my foibles and learn about all the mistakes you shouldn't make. I take the hit, you gain the knowledge.

Self Care

After five days of having a skilled hospital staff provide for my every need, it is something of a shock to arrive home and find that I actually have to, you know....DO stuff.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t use a little ingenuity to make my recovery go a bit smoother here.

For example, professional nurses provide a sympathetic ear, and can offer considered, caring advice. Even though they do not really know you personally, the gesture is always appreciated and surprisingly effective.

Next, professional nurses manage your medication. They deliver it in small plastic containers where the dosage is already worked out.

Finally, professional nurses manage your bodily functions. By golly, just hook up one of these babies and you don’t even need to get out of bed!
