Well at 8:38pm, Paw and I have successfully brought Maw to her feet. The logistic was to wash down the extra soapy Tide from the bottom of the tub. She was washing her underwear with Tide and stood up. Then I heard a loud but soft sliding thud! Whoomp! So that was from a standing position to a sitting position is just one second.
After washing down the slippery soap, I got behind her and placed both my forearms underneath her armpits. While Paw pulled/supported her left arm, she used whatever strength she had and pulled the “default” soap dish handle with her left up.
She went up nicely. But my arms, shoulder and back were compromised. I’ll be taking my pain killer and putting on my black girdle to keep the back muscles from spasming. So whatever demonic plague/karmic debt is riding on my back, you still owe me — big time.
That is one lesson anyone should learn when living alone. Be prepared to have your WIRELESS telephone nearby in case you have to call for emergency. And if you have iron bars on your windows and doors, that’s too bad.
