Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Love In A Time Of Pain


--by clover, posted Oct 30, 2011

 

A neighbour whose dogs I walk I walk is very ill.  
 
Today, when I returned from our walk, he was having muscular spasms. When this happens his limbs go rigid and he has no control over them.  
 
I helped him from his bed to a chair and then started a scalp massage. When each spasm came I held him gently and continued the scalp massage. When his hands went into spasm I stroked them and the same with his arm.
 
After about fifteen minutes I helped him back into his bed.  
 
His eyes were closing and I gently closed the door on my way out.
