Miracle.....Whaaaat? via thebrycewarden
The rest of the errands went on without much drama until we got back to their house. Halfway up the walkway to the front door, Rob’s legs quit working. He was reduced to incremental strides which could be measured in centimeters instead of inches. Rob is over six feet tall and weighs 190 pounds. I’m 5′ 4″ and weigh significantly lessit took a Herculean effort to get him over the threshold. Once we got into the house, Laura appeared with a walker to replace his cane.
Once Rob was seated, I got him some water and fetched him lunch. I stayed an additional forty minutes to observe him, it was quite a scare. As soon as I left I texted his children to let them know what happened and suggested that someone check on him later that night. I also called a few hours later to check in and he bragged to me about making it to the bathroom without his caneAnd this is the hardest part of my job….I become attached to these people and I know our time is limited.
