Regaining ground

When you have been off your feet for awhile, it is hard to get back up and move on. I am watching my hubby take those very small steps that will get him back. A move today from one room and floor to another will be a setback. surroundings are hugely important in feeling like you are making progress. When you are moved from a nice room with good care to one less well cared for and staff who don't approach their job with a feeling of self worth then it impacts the sense of well being for their patients.
My goal will be to get him out of there as quickly as possible. Depression is a big part of delaying the healing process. Since he suffers from these overwhelming bouts of sadness from time to time, I will have to watch him carefully.
Thankful for the writing which continues to help me to cope.

A Long Day!

It has been a long day. Funny how you miss someone most when you start to do the little things. All the chores that my hubby would be doing are now done by me. the beautiful orchids finally blooming in the living room and lovely because he takes care of them. the cat pan needs attention. It's sunday! The house needs to be cleaned. Who will cook dinner for me? that would be the least of my worries for the day. I can get Mr. Chow, Col Saunders, Mario, Crabby Joe to provide the meal but I will miss the uniquely Jamaican flavour.
Hard to write, to focus to do anything. Just step by step.....He's doing better. He was up today, walking a little. Well, he is disciplined and motivated. I hope he will be able to cope and get over the shock. That will be the hard part.
Got to get back to my writing.
