Another Update
Hey kids.....
He's ok. Today, very tired. This morning I re-dressed all the wounds (there seem to be many) and DT was rather concerned about the state of the laparotomy site. It's right by the belly button and so doesn't look pretty. We talked to the nurse but also went to see her this afternoon. She says everything is ok, doesn't look abnormal. We can continue as we have been or she'll have a look at it if we need her to. He feels better for being reassured about it all and I feel better about it too. We know the nurse (she goes to our church) and so that's all good. The doctor has signed him off for one month. Chris also said that todays more extreme tiredness was totally commesurate with the situation. People often seem to be quite good for a few days, and then start to feel the effects of the situation once the body calms down and stops panicking about everything. DT is up now, but will probably go back to bed in a while!!
I have been the doctors about some other issues of my own but that will be in a locked post later.
I feel like several days have now landed on me all at once. For the last few days I have felt like i couldn't keep up with what was happening, it was all so fast. Today I finally feel like I'm in the right day, which is good I guess. But also quite strange as I almost feel like I've lost something somewhere along the way.
Going to housegroup in a while as
good_laugh is still here - refusing to leave until we're ok. Thursday. *L* He's cooking and cleaning and it's nice to be taken care of, even if it feels a bit strange sometimes. Trying to take time to do something for myself each day to re-charge myself at least a little. Seems strange to do that though - D isn't a dependant kind of guy, and the fact that he needs me so much right now takes some getting used to.
