My Calmer Half is doing better, and sleeping better. It's a hallmark of how bad things had gotten that I can see daily improvement... and means that as he gets better, he runs into the same hard and soft limitations that I remember after medical misadventures.
"I can do that!" does not, in fact, mean he can do that. It means he feels well enough he feels like he can do that.
"I'll just.." There is no just. There is a lifting limitation for a reason.
"It's under 10 pounds! I can lift it!" does not, in fact, mean he can lift it from that angle, or bend low enough to put it away, or lift it repeatedly.
I feel for him, I really do... because I've been there too many times to count (I did get smarter after the fifth shoulder dislocation. Of course, I also got out of my twenties, so cause/effect is debatable there).
It gets better. For now, we laugh, we love, I lift, we go on.
