Having two patients - one after a kidney transplant, the other post a mild stroke in post operative recovery phase at the same time is a nightmare coming true for any household.
Worse, both these patients are the women of the house.
The post transplant patient needs to be in as much a clinical environment as possible to avoid chances of catching an infection. The post stroke patient does not have complete control on their bowel movements and needs to use the bathroom. Both this happening in the same house with one 77 year old man to take care of his wife and the other a 37 years old man for his wife.
The two patients confine themselves mostly to their respective bedrooms...the two egoistic men(as men often tend to be) try to manage things in the house...cooking, washing, cleaning, and hundreds of other chores. The amount of this stuff to be done right now is many folds more than even the most women centric thinking man. While they both are doing a fabulous job in their own way, they do get on each others nerves very often.
Am trying to 'heal' given the circumstances...God be with me and my mom.
