Home....

The man was released to my care today. I guess it helps proving I can care for him.... bodily functions are slowly returning. Those in my family that have undergone their own bout with healing understand the importance of the functions... urine, gas, etc.... most are back, but not all.... yet they figured I could do as good as they were...handing him pills every so often.

I think this will help, here I know he will sleep. I hope my food is better than hospital food and they are assured he will not get pneumonia from forgetting to deep breath and cough!!
Interesting that they Discharged him from the ICU to home....again no complaints. For two days, a large quite private room....

But we are not alone in our healing .... and I pray for my "SIS" in Florida.... oh that I could do for her what I am able to do for my man..... but the problems are oh so very different. Chronic debilitating pain.... fighting through it.... living with it. those are the times when I believe it might actually be harder being the care giver than the patient. I can empathize with the painful one, but I totally understand the position my big bro and his children are in....and I pray for them all. I love you so very much!!

The US Open ( golf) is this week... we had tickets.... we should be there to watch the good ones play....though none of them seem to be playing their best. Still I cheer on my heroes... Tiger of course. I still remember the awe of watching him play at Pebble in 2000. That is what drew me into the game.... all the best of the best. Learning the nuances of where to hit a shot, how to read a putt.... it made a change in my life I never thought I would appreciate.
but we will hopefully see the best play in September...when the man is back to full speed himself.

So..Thanks to all for your continued care and support....
love ya
