Living with Bob and "Al"

It does not take much for Sheri to realize that Bob and "Al" are one fall away from ending up in a nursing home. The frozen tundra had a heavy wet snow fall last week and while Sheri and daughter number one ( the one who wears her heart on her sleeve ) were getting ready for work, Bob managed to get outside and start shoveling. It was not until Sheri turned the blow dryer off that she heard the familiar sound of shovel scraping against the sidewalk. Sheri panicked. Bob has so many physical issues, his neck fused together, both shoulders repaired, both knees buckling, not to mention the major issues with his back... he walks with a cane. Sheri knows that it upset Bob tremendously, insisting that he put down the shovel and come back in the house. His jaw was clenched tight as he hobbled back into the house, however those few minutes of shoveling last week have caused Bob a great deal of back pain since then. "Al" of course is frustrated because he has no idea why he is in pain, and Sheri she is just not ready to substitute "Al's" constant whistling... for silence.
