Hello everyone,
They say that man is made of dust and onto dust you shall
return,

They also say that you come into this world as a baby and you will exit like a baby . 

I went to respite for Max  earlier this week to find him kicking back in his fancy new  recliner in the lounge ,
He was happy to see me and we chatted for a while and he was in really good spirits and the conversation just flowed.

I grabbed myself a coffee and sat in the chair opposite Max and , the conversation continued, Max always asks about my mum and dad as they both know my parents.
Its a nice day outside so I asked him how he was and he replied shithouse . 

And the lounge tv is on in the background with people mining for  gold , they are pretty darn  destructive and just smash up the earth and rivers , flat out.

Max asked me for a hand as he wanted to go to the toilet , thats not unusual , so I got up and reached down to take his hands and help him stand up .
I noticed his hand was curled up a bit more than usual but I made the grip

1 2 3 up , and he was really wobbly , and I didn’t let go of his hands  for a while and  I walked him to  the toilet and  then as usual I left him there in privacy and then I go back to my chair in the lounge to watch the destruction, on tv.

After  a while  I open up the hall door and call out to him and I check that he is ok   sometimes this routine takes half an hour before he returns to the lounge room.

The next time that I called out to Max I heard a big no.
I arrived on the scene
To find him exactly like last week with his shorts down to the ground , and with this time both his feet standing on top of his short legs .
There was a small puddle on the floor ,

I struggled to lift his legs  off the shorts but eventually I managed to pull them right up over his nappie , so he goes to the bathroom to get a towel but I fixed the problem with a bit of toilet paper and a flush .

Back to the lounge and Max says I want my slippers on Curly , so the search is on for the slippers I looked everywhere and then I said ill look in the bedroom cupboard.
They were there and like two mens grosby style so we were off to the lounge for fitting ,
I knew it would be a bit of a hard task but Max had thick socks on making it harder,
gee 1 on ,
oh I wish I had a shoe horn .
Eventually the next one went on also phew .

So about half an hour later Max out of the  blue asked me now if he can go to bed I nearly laughed but instead I said Sure mate so off we went .

I told Max that there are rules to that
He said What
I said the slippers are staying on and you are wearing them to bed .
He agreed so he climbed aboard and lay back and I put the blanket over him and he fell as fast to the only place that he can escape to that he has left now ,
thats his dreams where his hands work and his body and his mind is free,

I hit the lounge and get on my phone to facebook, and soon Maxes wife returns and I help her with  the shopping from the car , I told her of the slippers incident and how he has them still on under the blanket.
She looked and pointed to a shoehorn hanging just above me .,
We had a giggle,

But it’s got to be Maxes night tonight as his mighty Hawks  are really on the march
Maybe we all should be soon

Cheers xxx
