3 blocks is a long way

My friend had knee surgery a few days ago. I spent some time with him today and did some nursey things 'cause I like it and when someone needs nursing it just happens. Part of being a nurse is getting people to do what they don't want to do or maybe what they're reluctant to do. So it was time to go for a little journey. My idea was for him to get outside for a few minutes by going down the block and back. His idea was to get coffee. We found it about 3 blocks later. Then it was 3 blocks home. It was hard and he was tired but he did good. I think he'll sleep pretty well tonight...of course the narcotics will help.
