I am tired so here is a synopsis of today.
*I call his family doctor and leave a message to call me.
*Home care makes its first visit. Gerry is disengaged and unsteady on his feet but the visit goes well.
*I go to town. I order a swivel, rocker, recliner at Sears, etc. My neighbor, Donna, stays with Gerry.
*People visit. THANKS!
*Jen and Isaac visit. YEAH!!
*More people visit.
*Don't hear back from doc.
*I clean Gerry's feeding tube site and notice an abscess. I clean it out and it is bleeding. Fix it up the best I can. I will see what it is like in the morning. Always something....

I follow your steps and it's like going back in time for me. I hope you realize how important your blog is to your and Gerry's followers. Although it breaks my heart to know the suffering you are both going through, I feel in touch with you. I also think this is great therapy for you. When you look back on what will be sad, but lasting memories, this journal will help you along your way. It could also be a beautiful way to help others, should you choose to share it with a wider audience, sometime at a later date.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? Most of us are grumping about the weather!!!! How little we have to complain about and after we read your blog we should slap ourselves upside the head for being so petty!!!
I'm Sorry I can't offer to help in any way cause I leave Mar. 16 for Florida, but when I get home I will be available to sit with Gerry or run errands for you or do any small thing I can.
I know you have lots of friends and isn't it wonderful how people come to your aid when you most need it? Sure restores your faith in humanity and strengthens the bond of friendships.
Love & Prayers,
Joyce McCardle
