| Three days ago |
I am telling everyone that my eyesight has begun to deriorate significantly in the past few days because I am getting almost no sleep and am in the throes of anxiety over the fate of SG. Today we were able to finally move him from the hospital to the Avalon Rehab center. This picture was taken three days ago, and he is not in better shape now.
I slept only three hours a night ago, but last night my body gave up seven hours. But my eyesight has gotten worse after all the stress. Maybe it will get better again, but I really don't know.
I did manage to get him over to Avalon Rehab Center this morning, out of the hospital,but the rehab center is, well, shabby and disappointing. He is in a bed in a small room with a roomate and a bed that has no side rails, so hen must deal with his disability without much help. But he is finallyout of the hospital and has much healing ahead of him.
Tomorrow I will bring a charter for his phone and a couple pillows that might help cope. I will do my best to get him comfortable and get enough sleep tonight myself. It's a very trying time indeed.
Rough times indeed. So sorry to hear about this. Prayers for you and SG.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Praying for you both.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so sad to see. My heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, such a horrific state of affairs. I'm praying for your eye sight to improve.That fact, alone, is making this so much harder for you. Exhaustion is adding to the strain. May you find comfort and may your friends come to your rescue. And may your dear husband get help to get stronger and come home.
ReplyDeleteOh my DJan I am so sorry he had to go to rehab. Hopefully it will be a short stay! Rest when you can. Sending you a hug.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad to see you both struggling so.
ReplyDeleteWhat a challenge you have! Fatigue can impair us. I hope you do go ack to what vision you had. I hope your husband regains his independence.
ReplyDeleteDJan, I'm so sorry to hear this. So much stress. I was told once that stress can do things you don't realize... so I expect it could affect your already failing eyesight. You need to find a way to at least be able to sleep... maybe your meditation routine would help? And hopefully your hubby will regain his strength at the rehab. Truth is, some rehabs are not as nice as they should be. He definitely should have side rails. If not provided, perhaps you could get hold of some. Sending good vibes and prayers to you both. Take care, my friend.
ReplyDeleteA very sad sight indeed. I only hope you manage to improve your own health to give you the strength and stamina needed to help care for SG.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jan! Sending wishes for a short time in rehab so you both can be together again. Take care of yourself too! Sending a hug across the continent!
ReplyDeletePrayers said for both of you. Consider enlisting the Social Worker to make suggestions to help now and at home. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI don't have your email address and I am wondering how you two are doing. Worried, actually.
