Wow - busy day! MH is feeling much better and will be moving from ICU to a regular room this afternoon; probably home Friday. This will not be a full recovery of course but at least his pneumonia has subsided. I've spent most of the day caught between equipment providers and the doctors office - both pointing the finger at each other pushing off the responsibility. Healthcare ~ what a challenge.
I knew he was feeling better when he phoned this morning asking me to bring him breakfast (sometimes he forgets he's in ICU, not Denny's where they serve up a meal at a moments notice).
Then *I* pulled a brilliant trick ~ drove all the way to the Wendy's as requested only to find they don't serve breakfast items and then to the Jack in the Box (and if anyone part of the 'no fast food' challenge I'm on is reading this I DID NOT GET ANYTHING FOR MYSELF - I WAS JUST HONORING AN ICU PATIENT'S REQUEST! I offered to bring him homemade but he didn't want it!)
Anyway - was on the phone w/the equipment folks when I paid for the breakfast and received his coffee and drove away. Was already parked at the hospital when I reached down for his breakfast and realized I had LEFT without it! So allll the way back to the JIB just to be mocked by the drive thru window clerk. Should have gone elsewhere by then.
Last night I was preparing my dinner and reflecting on the 'quiet' as the TV is ALWAYS on when he is home ~ and that's understandable as he is confined to bed or recliner all day. However, the quiet took it's toll and sadness crept in thinking about the day when this is permanent (although, I could go before him). I looked down at my grilled fish, sliced tomato and cauliflower and thought 'Man, I don't want this ... I want a DRINK'.
When he was in the hospital nearly 4 months back in 2007, that's when I regained all the weight I'd lost ~ well, that's when it started. And it started because I would return home from the hospital (a 90 minute drive one way) have a few drinks instead of dinner and then end up phoning Pizza Hut at 11 at night.
I don't drink on a regular or barely even social basis ~ I'm not against it, I just don't. But I drank almost every night during that spell.
However, I did pull my little doggy close and start playing tug with her and talked myself out of the 'pity party', ate my dinner, and managed to keep it all together for one more night. I even played a game of volleyball on the PS3 then showered and went to bed at 8:45.
The good thing about going to bed that early - I needed it. I was tired. The bad thing is I was up 11:30, 12:45, 2:15, 4:30 and finally got out of bed at 6am, unable to stay there any longer.
Well, I need to get things around and get to the hospital.
