Will, my BFF and only daily human contact, is still in the hospital. Doctors are still evaluating his symptoms and issues, but he does have pneumonia. A neurologist will be conducting an MRI review tomorrow. He's so confused and cognitively delayed. He's having my issues, but on steroids!
I just need him better. Andy and I both do. Andy is napping next to Will on the hospital bed and looking so devastated - What's wrong with Daddy? Why is he here and not home?
I'm trying to deal with this, but I can't. That power was taken from me when I had my stroke in 2015. But I didn't have anyone to help me or.try to understand that I was broken. Will hasn't had a stroke. Kidney issues, malnourished, sodium low, white count high, and having the DT's from alcohol withdrawal, but he was drinking do much less than a year ago.
This is reminding me to much of when Dad was in the hospital in 2001. At least I'm not dealing with that crazy watch he was married to (caused his death) ans constantly badgering me to bring him home. Home to hospice. Not this time.
I've got to prepare our place to make it more accessible for him and I've got to talk to our new Navigator for our housing, as the current pit they have us in is NOT ADA compliant. The occupational therapist said this will be an issue for him, as he has fallen repeatedly in the bath over the last 4 years. He needs a hospital bed for his back and a better sofa. A good recliner would be best. There's just so much I need to fix, but my brain can handle only so much I the few hours I have before it starts to shut down.
Keep us I your thoughts and prayers please. We need the Lord's grace to help us through this.
