Happy belated bday Megan!! I'm sorry I havevt been around things have gone from crazy to crazier around here. First the no income started n scrounging to feed my kids or wipe our butts. Just as I was about to go to courthouse and apply to garnish his income again guy ended up in the hospital and bounced around from there to nursing home/rehab n back to hospital and after spending the weekend visiting him during which time he was completely confused I suddenly got a call Monday that he was sent to icu and put on a ventilator bc he went into a deep sleep and his breathing got more n more shallow. Had they not intervened he'd have died.
So I've been there daily and the kids had some big things this past wk too like Angela's road test and Jordy had to meet with a mediator over school n his not wanting to go. It's been exhausting and my arm got bad tendinitis starting a couple days ago. I guess for me it was too much driving bc I'm not normally one to leave the house daily for the past few yrs since my back got so bad. I had to cut back on my pain meds being I was gonna be driving and just each night I was not only emotional but exhausted and my body from my legs on up were screaming. Then too I still have all the financial strain of no $.
ATM he has a bad uti which they somehow missed tho it's been obvious for months tho I thought it was a stone he once had come back and now probably from the laying around and the respirator he's got pneumonia and blood clots in his leg and lung. So its a wait n see thing tho there's still plenty of hope he'll recover. He's not been ready to come off the vent yet tho.
So I haven't read but literally half dz pages in a week. I'm going to have to go less tho as I'm out of gas and even the drs told me to pace myself. So I hope to be reading again soon and popping in on you all more often. I literally wasn't on here in at least 8 days until today.
Do we have a monthly read for May and how are all of you doing??
