Thank you! Got the rooms rearranged and ready for the new equipment--ventilator etc......Did not get to go see DH for the first time today but I had to get the house ready for him to come home Thursday hopefully! And thus us Ambers last day and night here so 2 reasons to take a day off. Hope DH understands. The rooms look better then I had imagined--not what I would like but perfect for what we need. I am blessed for my son in law, my daughter and my neighbor stopped by and mowed my entire lawn today--yes I am blessed!
Wow, Cyn, that's an amazing amount of work done in a short amount of time! Hopefully DH knows you didn't get to the rehab today because you're busy preparing for his coming home- which I'm sure he's looking forward to immensely. He knows his homecoming is only a couple days away and you're not there today because you're working very hard to make that happen.
Glad the kids and neighbor were there to help you out some, and I hope your visit with your kids today/tonight will be a great one.
And as always, prayers and good thoughts for you, DH and your family.....
Hi cyn and friends....stopping by to check-in. I am relieved that the hard heavy work got done to make the home-coming possible. I was right in thinking that it would, and that my anxiety and sense of forboding and helplessness was not only not helpful...but not even necessary!
Hope everything goes good today as your sweetie returns home. I'm also hoping you will have some good home health care to assist you with his care. Here's a hug!
Thinking of cyn and her DH; I hope the homecoming has been as stress free as possible...(but knowing that transitions are always awkward, trying and hard.) Cyn.....you will be tried and tested; keep calm and one foot in front of the other.....I anticipate your DH will be frightened, irritable, critical and uncomfortable.....it is what it is.
There is no way I could even write what the last few days have been like. Actually my DH has been very gentle but sad. He was not able to be left here by the medics because the hospital discharge did not get things in order--no bed, oxygen--nothing really was brought to our home. So once my DH got home they could not leave him of course so the took him to the Concord ICU at my request--not the rehab--again--where this all started a month ago. He is home today but we have been through a lot.....we have survived but I am one very unhappy camper. Maybe someday when I have time I will go into detail--it is really unbelievable. But home now and a bit uneasy but still home and together. I have seen some of the worst in people and some of the best so it is not all bad.
