My DH had surgery 3 1/2 months ago. After recuperating and weeks and weeks of physical therupy with therupist and doing it at home, he thought he was making progress. For a little while I had to take on all the duties like grass cutting, carrying all the grocery bags, etc., plus the personal care. I do not mind doing all this, even though it is very challenging to keep everything going.
He had further tests and he is back to sq. 1. Dr. said he could try the surgery one more time, does not give very good odds, and this time no phy. therupy and strict adherance to not moving the affected limb. Which means more weeks of helping, doing some heavy work, etc., doing all the driving for a while (6 weeks at least). All while trying to run our business.
I am just discouraged right now. And fearful. While I do acknowledge that I am blessed to have my E under control, my medicine makes it hard to keep going at this level. I get sleepy so much. Well, thank you for letting me vent. Somehow we will get through this all.
