Another Update

 

Bob fell getting out of the pool on July 11, next day, he tried to walk and fell again, and ER put this cast on at noon on July 12 after X ray showed a crackle in the outside long bone of his ankle.

WE are caught in a healthcare drama/nightmare, he was moved to orthpedic to get further test to see if he needed surgery.

Two day later, nope, no surgery, and he can't put in pressure at all on the ankle for 6 weeks. He laid in that bed, for 4 nights, 3 days trying to get him in a rehab unit. Nothing else was done, he was just there.

He was transported to a Rehab Facility Wed July 15 at 5:30 pm and the nightmare we had been in during those days started and was worse. He has been there 2 nights 2 days and the care in the hosptial and now in the rehab is pretty much nil to none unless I am there to nag and remind and occasionally lose my cool. 

I have been with him all this time sitting in a hard straight chair, from 7 to 5 every day not daring to leave. no details but never leave your loved one unattended if that person is helpless. I am shocked to my core over the condition of our hospital and rehab. I had to run back and forth letting Beau in and out twice a day, and I do not have time to blog or email or or text or call..

I am beyond exhausted and will not be updating unless something bad happens. Bob will be there for 6 weeks, he thinks he is there for a few days. Thank you for all the emails and comments and I did read them all, but will not be updating. I do update Ann and Ginny, and have told them they can update, but I just am in no shape to answer questions.

I might just right a TV Show from this  some day.. Love you all miss you all and wish I could keep up with those of you that have a spouses and loved ones going through crisis health at the same time as mine. 

The infusions are canceled, and I still have to pay the 2000, for the 2 that he got, but he will not get the 3rd one on the 28th. Please please do not tell me to take care of myself. I am doing that as much as possible. 

there is nothing anyone can do but pray. I will read your comments, I can do that on my phone while I sit on the hard chair with swollen feet listening to Bob say he is going home.... Do not be shocked if/when I come back at how many drawings I have done on iPad, sitting in the stupid chair

I copied these faces from the big poster on the wall at the foot of Bob's bed and we are both now a TEN on the pain scale, with 10 being the worst pain.

He is in no pain, the stress level is the 10.
