On June 2nd Dr. Hubby went to the country club like he has done practically every day for 50 years. The past few months, he has not been able to play golf due to the Parkinsons, but loved driving out there and checking his golf cart tires.
He said the last thing he remembered was raising up from checking the tires and falling backwards.
I found him an hour later when I went to look for him. He did'nt come home when I thot he should, and I was so fearful.
I found him on the golf shed floor. Apparently he got on his cart and drove it into the shed. He had a granmal seizure from a head injury and two mild heart attacks.
We were in the hospital for seven days, and went home for six. Rushed back to the hospital with conjestive heart failure. Another stint in the hospital then back home for three days. To the hospital again, this time with two mild strokes.
We have been home now a month. He has sitters at night, as he was very aggitated at night, and tries to get up constantly. He cannot stand nor walk, as the parkinsons has taken it toll. His brain does not tell his legs however that he cannot stand nor walk. Parkinsons is an evil disease with no cure. His muscles are going very fast, and soon he will not be able to swollow.
I sit all day from 6:30am until 8:00pm, and I am trying with all my heart to make each day a good day for him. He gets so tired of the bed, and when he is himself, he begs to die, and pleads to let him get up or says he cannot live like this anymore. He has dimentia also, and forgets from time to time where he is. Since he is in a hospital bed he somemtimes thinks he is back in the hospital.
I am not feeling sorry for myself, but thankful I have known a man that loves me uncontionally. No one in my life has ever loved me like this man does, and each year we have had together is a blessing to me. Twenty four years of knowing him and loving him, and almost twenty married to this kind gentle man that I call Dr. Hubby.
When I found him and four men helped me lift him out of the cart shed, and got him up to the club house, paramedics began working on him, he turned to me and asked "what took you so long".... He knew I'd come looking for him.

ReplyDeleteYou said, "...thankful I have known a man that loves me unconditionally."
I think it is safe to say that you also love him unconditionally. I am sorry to learn of your husband's condition, but he is so fortunate to have you by his bedside.
Whit, Sherry, Sarge, Fringe, Heide, Wayfarer, Pop, Mr. Ornery, - Just wanted to let you gays/gals know that my wife (PuP) has started a new, absolutely private group on Facebook - made up entirely of Ex-Blogstreamers.
ReplyDelete""" Ex-Blogstreamers are the only ones allowed in this private group.""""
She started it yesterday and has already signed up 45 Ex-Blogstreamers. It seems to be taking off sort of and I think you should check it out. I'm on Facebook - but I don't use it enough to be profienct with it - However, there is a 'doc' feature that she set up where we can post writings and etc. and are encouaged to do so.
This thing may take off - so check it out - they are asking about you guys - and some others. Pup has signed up Scratch since he is on her 'friends list' but as to the details and stuff you will need to get with Pup and Six and some of the others (who knows the in and outs of Facebook since I don't).
come on over and check it out whether you decide to stick with it or not.
I'm going to give it a shot.
p.s. we need to let all ex-blogstreamers (here on Blogger) know what is going on over at Facebook - spread the word to everyone.
thanks!
