Greetings readers - Well, my husband didn't have surgery today. The medical transport people picked him up, took him to his supposed appt. for surgery and, guess what, all they did was talk to him about his MRI.
Needless to say, he was irate and let them know it. To date, his scheduled surgery is to be on 12/10/09 - two more weeks to lay in the bed and writhe with pain. His GP is trying to find another surgeon to operate but with the holidays looming, I don't know if he will be able to.
So, we'll just have to make the best of a horrible situation. Neither one of us has ever been in this sort of situation before and, believe me, it is very hard. All in all, I hope this trial will produce more patience, tolerance and acceptance. Everything happens for a reason.
Because we both have suffered so much, we decided to really treat ourselves to a good supper tonight. He had jalapenos stuffed with cheddar and a steak sub on whole wheat bread. I had fettucini with tomato sauce and antipasto salad - YUM YUM !!! Somehow, really good food always helps one to feel better, especially when there'll be leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.
Haven't had time to bead today, too busy changing and washing sheets, towels, etc. and fixing food to eat and taking a nap to recharge my system. A nap really helps me to recharge. Even if I don't do anything but doze, just putting my head down on a pillow, even for twenty minutes, makes me feel like a new person.
I guess I'll be home for Thanksgiving after all. I had planned to spend this Thanksgiving with my parents and family out of state, but my husband has to have someone care for him. My children have already made other plans, so I guess it'll just be me and the spouse. I'll probably just cook a chicken and have dressing, sweet potatoes, corn, tea and a dessert. I just can't deal with a turkey right now; it requires too much energy to deal with.
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving with your respective families and we'll talk later. Adios - Nana
