Not much to add today. Redjeb is scheduled for back and neck surgery tomorrow Monday. However, it is still not certain that they will do so. They are evaluating him and will continue to do so to make sure that he is fit for surgery. They seem to be taking very good care of him. He is in intensive care and the nurse assigned to him only has one other patient. At this point they are keeping him asleep so he will not be uncomfortable. I'm not sure if he can hear us when we talk, as not sure how deep the sleep is. He will probably complain to me later that we made too much noise. Even that would make me feel good.
I get pessimistic about the future, so it is good that my brother is here. He is an MD and can explain things to me to keep my overactive mind from getting to far ahead. His wife is also a doctor but she had to go back to see patients in Brookline (Boston) today. They are both psychiatrists, though my brother just retired...just coincidentally in time to take care of his little sister! I'm not sure which is more helpful to me at this point...their medical training or the psychiatric part!
But I think I am doing OK considering it all. I get sad, but I also get strong.
I just want to let you know that I may have given incorrect info in my last blog: I think for you to leave comments you can do so by clicking or double clicking on the "no comments" at the bottom of a post, or maybe it says "comments" if someone has left a comment. You don't have to leave one, but just in case you feel like it. (Remember everyone who reads these posts can read your comments.)
I think you may find that people have difficulty leaving comments because they really don't know what to say. Most things just sound so trite when written here. All we can do is hang on your every word. Keep up your spirits, Peggy!

ReplyDeleteThat's a good question, but now that it's there maybe people will read it.
