In Oneshot defense.....I get it.  

When you've been the provider/fix-it person in the family for many years, then something happens and you just can't do it anymore, there's this thing inside you that makes you wanna push the issue......over.....and over again.  

My leg/hip injury shut me down for a solid 3 months last year, but yet all the things that I had always taken care of....still needed to be done!   Asking, or even paying someone else to do those things is a blow that just doesn't sit well with a man.   Hurts his sense of purpose and pushes him to keep trying, no matter what.   

Sure he knows that he SHOULDN'T....... But bygod he ain't gonna be able to sleep again until he at least TRYS.    And no amount of reasoning can change that.

Pfft!   

It wasn't ME standing in the shower house, repeatedly pushing the button on the hand dryer for 3 straight hours, drying the inside of his waders, his vest, and all of his 14 soggy wilted fly boxes.....

...and that's all I'm gonna say.....'bout THAT.    🙄

It's kind of funny coming down.  My bad arm just flops on every step. 

I can use my hand on my bad arm just have to put it where I want it.  Thing is I can't hold it comes down and it don't matter what's below it.

On occasion I have to use my left arm to "help" my right arm get up to where I need it.  Mostly I have to figure out new ways to do stuff, like making a lot more use if my left arm and heavier use of swear words.

[oneshot 1]

New ways yes but there is times it just don't work. 

At work I'm to haul stuff and maintain Trailers and Vehicles. 

It is more people around me that has the problem they have no patience. 

Legally I'm not to drive.  I brought all this up with my Boss.  Well you supervise. 

I'm to work Security. Well someone wants to whip me or run. Anymore it is have at.
