We are having some difficulties trying to connect to the hospital WiFi across the street, but hopefully tomorrow we will have it figured out.
Anyway, Great News!! Ron's biopsy was cancelled because his test results and sonogram were back on track! So now he has a full weekend to really relax. He is getting quite restless and longing to get out of the apartment, for more than doctors and nurses poking and prodding him. I hope this weekend reliefs his anxiety a little, I just worry that he will over do it.
I was hoping since Ron's good friend came up to help this weekend, I might be able to make a quick trip home. But Ron's restlessness concerns me. He is getting more and more frustrated with his situation and the lack of control he is felling right now. Although he want badly to do everything he needs to in order to keep himself moving forward and keeping his new liver healthy the ridged schedule is very difficult for him to get used to.
Although I fully trust Dean to keep Ron in check, it takes days of professionals teaching me how to care for him, I don't know if I can really impart the knowledge it takes to care for him to someone in a brief conversation. 40+ pills a day, each with multiple side effects some of which are normal and others that may need to be treated as well as a separate list of symptoms to look for in order to catch infection or rejection before it gets life threatening. Ron is slowly learning that he needs to tell me everything he is feeling, but I fear that he is going to put up the tough guy in front of his "boy." I already see it happening as they talk on the couch.
I am sure I am just being an over protective worrywart.
I think your intuition is good and you should stay there. Give it another week and then make the trip home. You need to keep them both in check!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I am with you Marianne. I know it would make him feel better to know I checked on our babygirl, but it's still such a crutical time for us... phyically, mentally and emotionally. Life is never black or white.
ReplyDeleteI know it would kill me to be away from my dog, but bear in mind she will forgive you like no human will. He needs your care and consistency right now. This is no time for taking short cuts. Do it right the first time. Hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteYour Right Steph! Go with your gut feelings! I know your right!
