Dear Befuddled,
I've got no idea what to say.
I'm just checking in with you to let you know that I am thinking of you.

Life is Good Again
 

Thank you Pam and Mari.

Thank you for the support and understanding. However concerning Doug, I found that not to be the issue but instead the tensions and stress from the meeting at Goodwill last week that had broke me. It is true that it hurts to see people walk all over Doug but it wasn't the real issue, it was both the stress of the meeting at Goodwill and that agitating me and then the injustices done to Doug that had me so broken. Once I told my Rehab. counselor I had no intention of going back to Goodwill I felt a great weight lifted off of my shoulders once again and had a real good day today. I have however, started to spend more time with me and doing other things even for the past couple of weeks and less time with Doug that I have been looking after me 1st. It's just that with all the harrassment from Goodwill and the meeting being the straw that broke he camel's back concerning me it was too much on me. I have moved on with being aggravated with the injustices done to Doug as time has passed now. I need Doug at the moment as much as he needs me.

I will be going to a hospice crafts class tomorrow and starting a computer class in MS without credit at a real college. I just found out this evening that I got the grant that I needed for the class. So you see, I have been working on things for me for awhile and now just getting results. I had gone to my scrabble club games about 10 days ago. This Friday I believe it is I'll be going to a Christian social if it doesn't rain which come to think now I believe it will. I could ride the van though which is a possibillity.

Life is getting sweet again.

Thank you Mari, Nikko, and Bizi.

I just got home from Doug's and he's having a real hard time breathing. The home health nurse could not even set up Doug's oxygen for him because she didn't know how and didn't want to break it. I had to do it. She pulled the bed side table too hard and the breathing treatment machine hit Doug in the head. She couldn't find his medicine and I had to get it. Talk about incompetent. Anyway, I'm waiting on my cousin now to take me to my hospice crafts class in a half an hour. Then we will go out to eat. Please pray for Doug.

That's just insane! Hit him in the head with a breathing machine? Those are heavy! Poor Doug. I definitely have him and you both in my prayers BF. :(

Befuddled,
when you say nurse you mean the Home health aide right? sometimes they are CNA, certified nursing assistants.
They are not nurses they are aides, they would not know anything about the breathing treatment machine nor are they supposed to handle medications.
It is very hard to find good aides in the health care field unfortunately.
My in-laws have them to care for my hubbys father who is bed bound...they are there 20 minutes 3 times a week....
my mother-in-law is an angel...I don't know how she is able to care for this 250 pound man.
thank goodness he has you to help.
You are his angel!

Love the thought of you doing things for you.

And I like it even more that you aren't going back to goodwill.

Bravo.

Way to go.
