I "can't use the vacuum"

And I wish you folks would quit telling my husband it's okay now!

He was there post-op when they told me not to lift things over 10 lbs or raise my arm up over shoulder height or vacuum. It's two months down the road and he still jumps in to caution me when I raise my arm up, and he insists on lifting moderately heavy things (say, a 3 gallon plastic water jug, so about 25 lbs or 11 kg), and he insists on doing the vacuuming.

So please, shush! I'm enjoying this! :)

ROBO: The meaning of sensuous

by Griddlebone - 2014-11-14 02:11:17

"Hey, honey, sensuous up can you git me a beer?"

I have never laid my hand on a channel selector. I would have to pry it out of my husband's hand to do so.

I am offended ..

by ROBO Pop's allegations. I bought my medical qualifications on E- Bay (and paid a good price for them! )

Actually cold, dead

I think the exact phrase was: Pry the remote out of his cold, dead hand...

Hi Mr Griddlebone I am an expert on pacemakers and I confirm that it will be VERY dangerous for your wife to do any of the following activities at any time in the next 2 years :-

- lifting anything of any weight ( except a glass of wine )
- stacking the dish washer
- gardening
- cooking
- painting
- shopping ( except for jewellery )
- definitely not vacuuming

The mandatory vacations....4 times a year.

It states in the manual, rest and relaxation is a must.

I have been using it to take more breaks from chores.

I don't mind doing the chores, but sometimes I just want to do them at my own pace...

You know you're wired when...

You’re a battery-operated lover.

Member Quotes

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
