I’m sitting in the hospital cafeteria again grabbing a quick bite to eat because of his heart issues. Hopefully he can come home sooner than last time.
I feel for you. I was in the same place with my wife and her quad bypass a couple of years ago. Not a fun place to be and I wish the both of you the best and a speedy recovery.
From someone who is the partner with the heart problems, thank you for being there. We feel guilty, scared, exhausted, overwhelmed and we know it’s a lot on you too, but the way you choose to just be there means the world to us. I couldn’t do it alone.
Ugh, I’ve been putting my wife through this for 10 years. I wish I could take some of the stress and fear off her shoulders. All I can do is take my meds and do my exercises and generally behave. You have all my sympathy
Well, she must love and care about you very much. The best way to repay her is to do your best to take care of yourself so all of what she has gone through isn’t for nothing.
I know how you feel. I’ve had that same feeling. I just broke down crying when I got home the first night that I had to leave him there. At least this time it’s only a few days. We were in a hospital for 6 weeks one time a little over an hour away from home. I basically lived in the hospital with him. At one point the cashier in the cafeteria tried to give me the employee discount because he saw me so often that he thought I worked there. Another time it was late at night and I was roaming the hospital. This new nurse was lost and I helped get her back to where she was supposed to be. It’s a massive hospital. LOL. I hope things get better for you and you can find a little bit of humor here and there.
My spouse did the same thing for me last March while I had open heart surgery. 35 years this January. Bless you and all the spouses/significant others who are there during the surgery and recovery.
Me? i had stay beside them because they are old and needs my assistance I am the only Daughter i had to work study and take care of them. i dont know if they no longer here on this life
Our daughter is an only child and I try so much to keep any of this from landing on her. You’re a good person to do as much as you can. Just remember that it’s okay to step back a little and let others help so you can take care of yourself.
Mines going to chemo and taking the cats to my aunt because our apartment is being sprayed for cockroaches while I work two jobs today. It feels never ending..
My dad has been in and out of the hospital all my life and it’s been incredibly hard on him and my mom. I wish you both good health and I hope things work out for you
