Hi I'm firefly
I had an ruptured Annie last June of 05. I have been I have been in recovery since and still have a long way to go. I am so lucky not to have any limb loss, but my memory, coordination, speech & communications are still bad!! Light sensitive, severe insomnia, headackes...
I feel that my husband has been essential to my recovery!!
Just the love is enough to get me through some days!!
I am so sorry about your hubby!!
I know how hard your life must be, but God bless you for staying by his side!! That is the most important thing you can do is just reasure his love!!
My husband has been so awesome and still has to take care of shopping...
Your doing more than you can imagine hun!!
The love and care you have provided for him is worth more than you can ever know! God bless you and your husband!! We are herer for you to vent to ro whateve you want to say!! My prayers will be with you!! Love Tricia!!
Here is a poem I wrote for all the caretakers!! We know it is just as hard on you too!!!
We are so sorry
We are so sorry, to all of our family and friends
We know the "Annie" has altered your life too
See the distress & fear while you try to pretend
We all wish there was something we could do
We are so sorry to have placed this in your lap
Know it's a magnitude for someone to take on
Wish we could complete, these enormous gaps
We're so lucky to have all of you to lean upon
We are so sorry though know it is not our fault
Know that this is physical, but feels so mental
We do not mean to be malicious, or even insult
Sorry but our brain can be a bit uncontrollable
We are so sorry, know it is just as hard on you
Know we have a long road ahead so hold fast
We know lacking you we could not get through
Together we know this will be a thing of past
We are so sorry, our recovery is of such length
Know a number of us are extremely depending
Recognize your support, devotion & strength
Vital to our recovery by the love your sending
We are so sorry, but so grateful to have you all
Know that life can teach us a lot about kinship
We couldn't get through this without you to call
Your patience, love, attention, care, friendship
