Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hello to you all, I have been offline for over 3 weeks now. My husband first had a stroke, then blood pressure plummeted and had to transfer him to a hosptital away from here and then he had to have a stent put in his heart. He is still in the hospital, very weak and in a confused state of mind. The Dr is now wanting him to go to a nursing home for rehabilitation and he is refusing. Every avenue leads to a dead end where he is concerned. It is either bring him home or a nursing home. I dont think I can manage him here at home alone and he is adamant about the nursing home. So as of this moment, I am not sure what will happen. Last night he threw verbally threw both the Dr and myself out of the room. He is blaming the nursing home all on me and saying I am only trying to get rid of him. I have been with him day and a lots of nights since this all happened and to have him talk to me the way he did really hurts. I have stayed away from hospital today and him, thinking it might be for the best to give him time to think. I am worn out and about to crack under all the strain myself. has been going thru another pancreas attack and been quite ill. She wont give into going to Dr or hospital and right now there is nothing I can do for her. She has managed to get to hospital 2 times since this happened. I have lost out on who has had their surgeries and if anything new has developed in regard to the pancreas. My husbands state of affairs and s both seem to be ruled by insurance and money. This is one horrible thing that the USA needs to look into and do something about. would have the TP/ICT if we only had the 16,000.00 they want upfront. Some days life really doesnt seem worth the effort one must put into it to keep going. Wishing you all well, Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Jean, My house is always open to you if you ever feel you just need to get away from everyone and everything for a few days...with all the pressure you have on your shoulders, I can imagine how it would be heaven not to have to do or think about anyone except yourself for a little while So for starters, you should take the phone off the hook, fill up the bathtub with some bubblebath and/or salts, put on a face mask, and a nice cold drink, and just relax with some music playing. It might not be going anywhere, but hopefully your mind can travel away from your husband and daughter for a little while.. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
