Things haven't been good. Not all all! sigh
He's been unable to move his bowels ; therefore strains and bleeds. Numerous trips to his porta potty , all for naught. Sometimes he does urinate, but come up empty on the other end. Scuze the PUN. ;0)
He is finding it difficult to stand to turn and use his potty. Labors .............labors. I have sort of made an agreement with myself ....TO BE MORE PATIENT OF HIM. I stand and wait for him to need my assistance to get up off the potty and back into bed and have managed not to get agitated.
INSTEAD...........I got agitated with my daughter this morning.
She left last night around 5:30 and didn't come home until it was almost daylight.
Now she has gone to work for the day ....using my car. :0( I'm damned if I do and i'm damned if I don't. sigh! She made a few calls yesterday morning to the EX SIL from Hell's wife asking about health and dental insurance and NEVER got a call back to the message she left. I told her I would leave a message saying ....if you can't give me my answers by phone, maybe you can give me the answers in court as well as to why I get sparotic child support. From her...I get, ma, getting someone angry at you isn't the way to solve things. ( Something like that ) TO WHICH I REPLIED BACK...No, but it's alright to get the ones you love angry with you. The ones you don't love ...it's different. NO REPLY back....that's usually how she ends things.
Hubby was bleeding rectally last night and after calling the nursing home to ask when the C Diff test came back as NEG, she ( the nurse ) asked me if he had been straining and I asked him and heard a YES. He does have hemroids and has had fissures in the past. I'm satisfied it's not C Diff because he hasn't SHIT but a small amount of loose light colored BM. Too much INFO for you????? ;0)
He's finished his second cup of coffee and I'm still on my first. Have had to reheat it. Hubby is definately more work.
The visiting nurse called a half hour ago. Should be here soon and here I sit in my pj's. :0( I just don't feel like hurrying today. I didn't turn the lights out until midnight. Tracie was here until 11:30 in case I needed HELP ( a ride ) ???? ...that's what I'm figuring anyway. Hubby moaned and groaned and still is. Either I dreamt it or he said this .....It got me out of bed at 8 a.m. (I am in so much damned pain.) My eyes flew open and I went for his meds...which he didn't want to take right then and there. Getting on his potty was top priority. Woke at least three times during the night ( myself). Can't remember if he needed to get up once or twice. Think twice cause I can remember sitting on my side of the bed and waiting for him to say he was done.
Visiting nurse came as I finished that last sentence. Was here an hour at least reviewing all the new medical information and assessing hubby. Now I have to refill his med dispenser box and they will check it out on Friday. I still have not finished my coffee and I just now made my breakfast. Instant Oatmeal with blueberries. It's almost eleven. Maybe if I am kept busy enough I won't think of food as often as I have been. :0)
Hubby is asking for oatmeal....cooked on the stove kind. He referred to it as " the good kind." So far today I HAVE HAD PATIENCE. It's just me and HE. :0)
Phone calls...one after the other. Dermatology ( guy filling in ). A nurse will be calling me regarding hubby's problem. Michelle ..checking on her dad and will be going up to NH/ME ? to visit her hubby's ailing dad today.
Didn't even get the oatmeal cooked and Randy came to work making things nicer. Cleaned alot of our plastic lawn chairs yesterday and hubby's tub chair. The Miracle of Bleach and a good scrubbing by hand and they look GR8 ! Yesterday was the much nicer day for hard labor. Overcast most of the day. Today the sun is out and it's going to be hot and humid. As soon as hubby is done eating his oatmeal I hope to grab my shower and then....think about washing him up. One foot....in front of the other. Slow I go, I shit you not!
Phone call just now from the nursing home/rehab asking how hubby is doing.
Next up....enter Randy as hubby is needing assistance to the potty to ask if he can cut the hedges down in front of the house so he can paint the trim easier. WHATEVER! HAVE A BALL!
Hubby thought he shit....he didn't. Asked me why he is stinging down there. ????? Will slather more heavy duty ointment on him. Time to RISE to the Occasion.
Thought just crossed my mind that ....sometimes SHIT doesn't happen. '0)
That's All Folks!

Hope it all works out and it won't be to much ♥
ReplyDeleteMake sure you make time for yourself and get someone to watch your husband sometime and go away for awhile. You can't do it 24/7. You will make yourself ill.
ReplyDeleteSo glad he's home. I hope he starts feeling lots better... so that YOU can feel better, too. And what the other commenters said.... try to rest when you can.
ReplyDelete((hugs))
Make time for you my friend...even if it is only to go out back and lounge in a lawn chair. Get some quiet time. Let Jill help you out more. Heck, she's living there. You have to take care of your own health, and by golly, stop pussy footing around and start following up on that pain you've been feeling.

I'm glad to hear Hubby is home, can he have a stool softner? Poor guy, time to let Jill go on her own she is no help and makes things worse for you. Make her grow up hon! It will also make it harder for her to drink. Bless you hon, Pearl
