Steve, my husband...

[Cool_Breeze]

It's good to know Steve is doing much better. ...and how is the caregiver doing?

 

[CES]

Getting stronger every day

take care of both of you (((happy hugs)))

 

[jj2]

Hospital and doctor's are never on time!!

Glad he is home though!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[classwife]

It is so good to have him home...geez...he is really skin and bones !
I'll sure be glad to see him eating more and getting some weight back on.
I am already feeling like a mean person telling him over and over to please do the exercises that he needs to be doing. "I will" he says...

 

[Katattack]

Sometimes you have to play the naggy wife because it's for his own good. Much strength to both of you.

 

[JustaGuy]

Well, fatten him up a little first, Classy. He's been through a lot. When he gets stronger, you two can take walks in the park together!


I need exercise too...

 

[keyzygirl]

I had to nag my Jeff a lot too,he needed it. I fed Jeff snacks and small meals all day because he couldnt eat much at a time. Just do what you can and remember to rest yourself.

 

[starrynight]

Positive strength and healing vibes still flowin...(((hugs)))!!

 

[Fudgey]

If that gets him to do his exercises then I say nag all you want too!!!

 

[Pissy]

This is the greatest news Classy. Keep yourself strong and rested..caregivers need to care for themselves too, you are an inspiration! Hoping his recovery continues and keeping you both in my prayers.

And he won't do...Mike always did that to me. I just told him..fine don't do them..I will be out dancing until you do.

 

[Vchick]

Big ((((hugs)))) Classy,

I've just spent the last 3 days at the hospital with my father, he doesn't listen, but I seem to remember and know if it weren't for all of the pain killers and other meds he's on (1 plate, 10 screws later) he'd say; "father knows best", but just this once I think the hospital staff knows a little better.

Take care of yourself and don't beat yourself up over it, being home has to be better for him, though more draining on you. I hope you have lots of family & friends close by that you can call on for some mini breaks, you need them. Being a caretaker full time is exhausting, physically and mentally. You are in my thoughts ~

 

[Poeia]

You might do better by scheduling the exercises in the future rather than giving him a "do it now" nag. For me, "It's 2 o'clock now. How about doing your exercises at 4?" works much better because I have time to psych myself up and, when 4 o'clock arrives, I'm stuck. I made the commitment. You will, of course, have to point it out when it gets to be 4. (I may push it off to 4:30, but I'll get it done.)

 

[CES]

Any updates Classy? I hope that you and Steve are both doing well!

 

[Vchick]

Hoping your okay Classy and that Steve is progressing..........you're in my thoughts ((hugs))

 

[CES]

Vchick, I hope that your father is getting better too.

 

[keyzygirl]

(((Classy))) How are you holding up Girl?

 

[Sundrinkr]

Thinking of you both this morning, wondering how Steve is progressing and how YOU are doing.....
