The Husband

I went back to work today.  K's Mom is here to take care of him, and take care of him she did.  I think he's spoiled rotten, and so it should be.  It was a crazy day at work, so I won't go there.

He is so antsy.  He wants to wander the house constantly, and I keep wanting him to sit and let the ice water do it's job.  He's doing OK, but the sling is driving his neck nuts.  I feel bad for him.

We took the sling off for a bit tonight.  He is supposed to work his arm around, as long as the elbow stays at his side.  He did that, gave his neck a break, and enjoyed it to the fullest.  I finally talked him into strapping back in, and letting his arm get what it needs.

His spirits are good, but I can tell that it's going to be rough going until he gets rid of the "still."  That happens on Thursday.  Then, he can have a real shower and he'll feel SO much better.

OK, I have to get to bed.  I wonder if the snow will really happen?  I doubt it.

Oh well.

Just take it one day at a time. He will heal in time. That ice contraption is a good idea for swelling. I like that.
Have a good day.

It is amazing the equipment they send home people with these days when they clearly still need to be in the hospital.  Insurance companies suck.  Linda
