This morning one of my roomies asked if I was awake.The privacy curtain was pulled and he could not see me.
Yes I'm awake Paul.Then he asked if I was out of the bed.No Paul still in bed.
There are 4 of us here in room 31 and for one reason or another 3 of us are what you call confined to bed till someone helps us out of it.
This got me thinking.
The old timey radio preachers call us "SHUT INS".
Heard that term all my life now that fits me.Never before had I thought that.
SHUT INS yeah that's me.
Don't pity me cause at times it ain't so bad.I told a Lady yesterday if only getting in/out of bed and taking care of a few other basic human needs,if I could do those, care for myself,ole JohnLee would be back on his own living the independent life style.
But as life has it that's not in the plans.
At times we all need a little help from our friends.

Even though you need help doing those things, you help other residents in your own way. You are kind and patient with them when they ask you what time it is all day. You always have nice things to say to them when they are feeling low. Other people are drawn to you.
