Basically I just want to wave at everyone and want you to know that I am o.k. My husband's very good state of health went down during Christmas time 2018 and in February 2019 he lost total kidney function because of a blood disorder he was diagnosed with in 2004. Next to getting hemodialysis 3 x per week for 4 hrs. each time he had several hospital stays and surgeries, including an heart valve replacement and a stroke followed. Afterwards he was in Stroke Rehab and then he received Physical Therapy in our trailer and he exercises walks now with a rollator/walker. I had to drive him to all appointments and events after not really having driven our long heavy truck for 10 years. I was suddenly a driver, a nurse, a dietitian and doing any heavy chore in our household myself. My hubby is 86 and I will be 84 this month. He had lost so much weight that he still looks like a skeleton with skin. But since September I have another nice small car, our old dually chevy with a crew cab and an 8' bed, which stalled almost at every light, is gone. Our trailer cannot be moved anymore by us - well - it cannot be anyway. We both would not be able to anymore. Our travel times are finally over. We reside in a nice RV Park in Central Florida. ....My nerves are relaxing now and I find time for socializing in the internet again. My little black appointment book looks light now on the inside, during the summer months I had to drive every day to all kind of doctors, labs and hospitals. My spirit must get used to the fact that my life with hubby went from 100% to 5% in a few minutes. I was a nurses aide and I know all the facts of ailments, but when it comes to own mate, the world looks just bleak. Sorry, friends, but I had to vent. You can try to make me laugh out loud again. I almost forgot how to do that.
WelbyQuentin
