We are home and relaxing. My goal was to make it to morning services, but that didn't happen.
1. I over slept, nothing like sleeping in your own bed.
2. Had to get Paul's food started, it ran out in the wee hours of morning.
3. Paul really needed a haircut and shave, I don't mind the "Mountain man" look, but I like him better clean shaven.
and it just felt so good to lay in bed and have my husband next to me.
It is now 11:30 and I am finally sitting down to my breakfast. I really need to work on getting a new schedule for us to be more productive.
Changed Paul's wound dressing as it was wet and seeping through the bandage. I like when the hospital had the wound vac on, it kept it dry. I will bring that up to the doctor as it seems to be seeping and I really don't feel good about a moist, seeping wound in the heat. Seems to me a good place for bacteria to grow. Might be a bit paranoid, but after everything Paul has gone through in the last 3 weeks, I really want things to stay as uneventful as possible.
Paul is on a feeding tube with food going in 20 hours a day. He gets 4 hours off for doctor appointments or getting out of the house. The traveling nurse said some people go out with their I.V. pole and food, but Paul wouldn't hear of doing that. He is feeling better but tires very easy. So a lot of relaxing and naps for him.
I have to get laundry done, run and get prescriptions filled and take a couple hours of "me" time, well, not really, but doing laundry and running a couple of errand will get me some time alone to think and reflect on our new journey in life.

Thank you for all your good thoughts and well wishes.

P.S. There is no place like home!
I am so glad you are home! It may take a while to get a comfortable routine going, so be patient with yourself. You'll soon find a groove. Won't hurt a bit to take a few days to relax and be easy on yourself. Well, in between laundry and running errands! Gentle hugs to you both . . .
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you guys are at least in the comfort of your own place. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed with your partner after being in the hospital for days and days.
