This morning, as my Mom was washing my feet. They still look so bad and they still hurt so badly! A couple days ago, I asked my Mom to turn down the air conditioning (because I am still rocking my window air!) I am NOT embarrassed because there ‘ain’t no shame in my game’! I noticed how tired she looked as she walked from the kitchen to my bedroom to turn down the air.
It was at that moment when I decided that I needed to do something so I sent out a ‘Bat Signal’ to my big brother, Dave and I got an immediate response:
As my Mom was attaching the leads to my knee, we heard a lawnmower. She thought it was our neighbor. She saw that someone was cutting our grass and it wasn’t until after we are finished that she went out to see who it was.
Then, I had to tell on myself. I told her about sending the bad signal to Dave. When we were finished and she went outside, my brother Dave, my brother Ray, and my nephew Christian were there. She was so happy! They all did an excellent job and I texted my brother yesterday after they were done and after he left because he stopped in to talk with me for a little bit:
It felt really good that I was able to orchestrate this bat signal for my mom because she does love a nice lawn. I do too but with all the changes with my disease, that has taken a back seat. It really feels really good that this Bat Signal was a successful one!!!
