I'll be all over the place and hoping that I make sense.
Thursday....I got nothing done! Drove myself to the hospital in W.Roxbury to visit hubby. Truthfully...I'd rather have stayed home...BUT GUILT got the best of me. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He had a johnny on that was driving him crazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It kept fall down off his shoulders, so I retied that . Then it was too tight on his neck. You get the picture................
Lunch came ......room food delivery person has been the same one for yearssssssssss and he offered me a tray of food. :0) Hubby did not want his burger on the wheat bun, so I cut it up for him. Did not like the O'Brien potatoes....took a bite of the burger and wouldn't eat any more of it. Yuck, yuck and YUCK! Gave him my diced pears and he ate his and mine. In between getting up and down to open milk, tea , catsup package, etc. , I slapped my burger on the bun and added catsup, the lettuce and tomato and onion and ATE. Not bad.....NOT GREAT, I prefer mayo on my bun, BUT it was edible. Believe me when I say, " I wouldn't starve to death in a hospital." If anything ....I'd want MORE on my tray. I shit you not!
I had brought with me a banana, his Lorna Doone cookies and a container of Tirimisu. NEITHER WOULD HE! ;0) I shit you not!
No sooner did he finish what he was eating.....I hadn't ....he wanted to get into the bathroom to shit.
What a WORK OUT getting him in there using a walker and trying to get him seated on the throne.
No sooner did In get him seated, he had me running to go find the pajamas the V.A. provides. A nurse pointed me in the direction of the storage closet and I grabbed up a pair. The bottoms and tops are rolled together and held together with an elastic. Got the top on him...too big. L Wrong size.
Live and Learn. After all the admissions he has had, you would think I would know that maroon pj's are a Large, Brown pj's are a Medium and the Navy blue???? Opened the Brown standing there . WALLA!
Get him dressed on the throne and back to bed. Wore the Hell out of me. All the while I kept looking out the window at the gray sky and prayinggggggggggggggg. Please don't rain before I get home.
Once Michelle arrived to visit, I SPLIT for home and only hit a fine mist just before my exit. :0)
I had got tickets to the meal my SIL Joe ( Michelle's husband ) cooks for the seniors every year at this time and after Michelle got back in town she went up to the shop and got our dinners for us and delivered them here. Tracie took hers home last night and I will nuke ours for lunch today. :0)
Soooooooooooooo here's the" skinnie" on hubby. He has a UTI and is on medication for it until Wednesday morning when he takes his last pill. ( Linezolid ) This is a different med from past UTI's.
He just got me "worked up." grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr All over a fuckin cord that he can't figure out what it belongs to. First he couldn't find his 2 electric razors and he insisted I moved them while he was gone.
Nooooooo, I didn't! They were in the open headboard behind him. I'd prefer he kept them in his nightstand and IF I was going to move them...that's where they would be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fuckin cord he has probably went to a razor that has long ago "bought the farm." He saves EVERYTHING :0( Like why the F does he have to play with this obsolete cord now....he says ...cause I want to. Now he's asking if his toothbrush is in the bathroom. yep...that's where it be! Guess he figured out that cord is USELESS. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, BUT will he TOSS IT?
Here he comes.....I can hear him grunting and groaning as he makes his way to the bathroom with the walker. I've learned to keep my distance.....all I get is " get the Fuck away from me." So farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr he has done very well getting himself in there to brush his teeth or shit or BOTH!
Now he's relating to me how the V.A.'s toilets are just as low as ours. Did it " click " that our toilet is STANDARD and we never had one "taller." ??? I asked for a " raised toilet seat" to be send home with him. They sent a porta potty and it was MADE WRONG. Brand New in a box and one of the legs was welded approximately an inch shorter than the others. sighhhhhhhhhh It does fit over the toilet :0), BUT it's wobbly as all hell and where he is unsteady........oh boy! NOT GOOD!
Maybe they are mailing a raised toilet seat....when I am inclined to, I will look up his History at the V.A. and check if it was ordered.
Right now....he is tying the bathroom up brushing his teeth. It's no quick procedure with him. Gil has to use it and soooooooooooooo DO I. I'm squeezing my butt cheeks together. :0(
He's done and I am going to HELP HIM OUT! :0)
I was sitting on the throne and he is collapsing and yelling for help. Jill and Gil rushed to his AID and got a chair under his ass. Then had to drag it away from the doorway so his wheelchair could be brought out. I came out of the bathroom and the three of us got him in his wheelchair and back to bed. He is upset with himself that he could not make it back to bed like he had been doing as of late. Two days in the hospital is a SET BACK . Assured him he will get stronger.....sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It's 10:30 and son Randy HAS ARRIVED. Tells me the contractor and siding for the house is on the way here. :0)
Yesterday his girlfriend Debbie came with him and kept asking me what she could do to help me out .
I was KNEE DEEP in crap in my closet .HOW I manage to make such a mess of things in there is beyond me, BUT every two months or less I try to straighten it out. WHEN THE BED IS EMPTY I take advantage of it. :0) Out come the clothes and I pile them on the bed. Clothes hangers, shoe boxes, shoes...you name it! My back yard needed a good raking. It hadn't been done, so Deb raked it and I was very pleased. She kept asking if I was happy with her work. I WAS! Gave her some money. She is a sweet person. One can tell she has developement problems when they first hear her speak. I HOPE SHE IS IN MY SON'S AND OUR LIVES FOREVER! One can tell she yearns for acceptance and compliments and has probably lacked for those for a long time. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She filled FOUR LEAF BAGS ....More than likely they would have stayed on the ground until Spring OR BEYOND................ I shit you not! Too much on my plate and Jill is NOT HERSELF PHYSICALLY. She was sound asleep before 9 p.m. last night and Butch left for his own bed. :0) She must have made it clear that he was to GO HOME before she fell asleep.
He had Gil working on a side job with him ALL DAY. Money in Gil's pocket and today he is coming for him at eleven to have him help him move more stuff from his house into his new place. More "pocket $."
Earlier this morning I began the task of clearing off my bureau of everything that got piled there from when Randy cleared off my PC desk and other stuff that was just easier to DROP THERE :0( and I'm still KNEE DEEP there. Had to refill hubby's med container for the week and mine needs refilling. Which reminds me...I haven't taken my meds today. BRB.
Got side tracked. Took my pills, made another attempt on my bureau, felt naseaus and even though it wasn't noon , I nuked our dinners. Maybe I'm suppose to take one of my new meds with food. ??? Haven't read the labels yet. :0( Washed up our coffee cups and dinner plates and I'm sitting here taking another " break."
Feel no improvement.....on " That Note", I'm going to hit the bed for awhile. BBL
Woke close to two p.m. Another DAY IS GONE sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Feel better physically. :0)
Made a pact with myself to continue clearing off my dresser and clean the mirrors and put some Old English on it before I touched this Post again. It's 3:22 p.m. .
Hubby's doctors at the V.A. convinced/ persuaded him to NOT TAKE the methadone any more. They told him that may have contributed to him getting a UTI as well as some of his confusion,
I have got that impression from them and it's the same behavior I have seen about chiropractors and physicians. YET when I worked for a chiropractor WE had some doctors as patients. There are some that can see the benefits of it and others that just won't accept the chiropractic profession. YOU yourself would be surprised at the more hours of schooling they have over a G.P.
I made tracks for my old boss' office and got adjusted as soon as I got back from W.Roxbury Thursday P.M. I shit you not! Shooting pain in my left hip area has quieted down. Here I am doing stupid shit to aggrevate it again. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sooooooooooooooooooo Bottom Line...if hubby doesn't want the meth it's his call. He says he rather deal with the pain and be back on oxycodone. It's a DONE DEAL. I say, CASE CLOSED !
The siding is being put on as I type. Can't see the entire job being done today, but it's a beginning. :0)
It's time I took my shower and my next big decision will be a clean pair of pj's or street clothes.
Tracie called me from a Christmas Fair being held some where and asked if I wanted to be picked up. I PASSED!
Slowly....ever so slowly at that, I am trying to read all of your posts and comment . Trust me when I say that it's not because I am not interested in what is going on in your lives. I AM I shit you not!
Time...Time...Time....is what I lack!
Hubby just wanted me to look at his throat and asked for MY flashlight. He had MOVED HIS to the headboard behind his head and couldn't find it. GEE WHIZ. NO SHIT! I had it in his nightstand where it can be seen. MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As common sense would tell you, the 3 pillows he uses behind his head blocks anything from view he puts in the headboard . sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Still have pictures that I want to post. Downloaded some in this laptop and can't find the friggin things for the life of me. DUH! ????? Looks like we both have issues. ;0)
Oh forgot to mention that hubby's discharge time kept getting changed. Noon, one, two, three thirty, four. Michelle went and got him which saved me from driving in the dark and I got to do more to prepare for his home coming. :0) AMEN!
That's All Folks!
