A second task for Marianne and I to facilitate the return home of Ms G from nursing care.

Having previously created some space in Ms G’s living room to enable a hospital bed to be set up for her, our task today was to remove a juke box from the living room to the chalet hut in the garden which was now housing quite a bit of furniture as well as a bar (Ms G could throw some great parties in there!).

Helped by K, Ms G’s care practitioner, we had the juke box moved to it’s new location in no time, creating enough space for a chest of drawers to be moved down from a bedroom upstairs.

We discovered that the drawers would not come out of the chest and so K suggested that we leave things be. Marianne and I had other ideas, so we decided to empty the drawers and give it a go.

The turns were tight, the unit was heavy, the drawers would not stay shut and a stairlift threw in another complication but we were not to be defeated.

We carefully negotiated our way downstairs with the chest of drawers and ourselves mercifully intact and unharmed and placed the unit where the juke box had been.

This was a proper good workout with a big impact as a micro environment can now be set up for Ms G and she can come home. What a difference GoodGym missions can make!
