Author ShaunaN Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've been quiet today sorry. We had a visit from the consultant. They want to start the process to bring him out of this sleep. They don't know how he will be though. memory or function wise. Ste's parents and best friend come up to see him this morning/early afternoon, So I had chance to do all the admin I've been putting off. I got a massage as I had some time free and some food/drinks. I'm just waiting now. I hope he knows I've been here the whole time for him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
amaysngrace Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Good luck today bringing him to. Keep us posted whenever you can. I don’t think anybody will fault you if you’re being busy tending to him (and you!) Glad you’ll have some company there. The support will definitely make a difference rather than you being by yourself like you mostly are. (((Hugs today))) Link to post Share on other sites

When he comes too it will be me and him, until the doctors and nurses come Bought some snacks and something for breakfast in the morning. Thanks for the hug. I really needed it. I've not had a hug for a while. I'm really really sore too Edited March 19, 2019 by ShaunaN 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lotsgoingon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Here's another hug Shauna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And hurrah for you: you got another massage!!!! Keep those coming! ... Seriously, your body needs the massage to come out of his emergency mode ... and to relax a little ... "relax" in quotes ... of course ... at a certain point, stress and worry build upon themselves and you're just strung out ... Keep getting massages! Another hug to Shauna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to the update about your husband coming to. Link to post Share on other sites
Double Helix Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hey Shauna, I hope all goes well in the waking up process. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your hubby!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Author ShaunaN Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Thank you for all the hugs. HE IS AWAKE He has been up since 1pm, We've had a chat and I had a massive cry. I really do love him, He is sore and tender. Doesn't remember the last few days and is fussing over me when it should be the other way round! He did ask me what the Boeing announcement was which made me laugh in a strange way. Have to admit everything got to me last night, I was close to giving up and walking. Ste's best mate and parents help a lot but his other friends don't want to help. So I have to do things when I get someone here, Its affected me more than I thought. Plus I just really wanted a cuddle from Ste. Ended up sleeping in his work t-shirt, an airline fleece and I used his high visibility jacket as a pillow with girly PJ bottoms. I looked a sight haha. When Ste is better I need to have a chat, I was going through my account last night and he has been transferring me money "for looking after him" I really didn't do it for money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know what cottage pie is but sounds ew Cottage pie is basically minced beef in a gravy with a crusty mashed potato topping. Cooked in the oven. There are many variations, so sometimes it is delicious and sometimes less so. If made with lamb instead of the beef, it is called Shepherd's pie. Link to post Share on other sites
amaysngrace Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hospital food is not good where I live. Most would rather go hungry. It’s just one step above airplane coach food, barely. Take out is the way to go! Link to post Share on other sites

Author ShaunaN Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 and I've upset Ste, He is upset I didn't go home at night and sleep there. He said I need to take care of me. Link to post Share on other sites

Author ShaunaN Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Aw just tell him he’d do it for you. Tried and apparently thats different. He said its more where I slept and I should have got a decent nights sleep at home Edited March 20, 2019 by ShaunaN Link to post Share on other sites
Lotsgoingon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Your man is a Prince! ... dude wakes up after several downs being out after complicated surgery ... and what does he do?: he immediately tells his wife to get more sleep. And the wife discovers that he has been money into her account. This dude is lovely and practical!!!!! And great story about his question about the Boeing jet--that is hilarious!

amaysngrace Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 It’s still sweet that you didn’t want to leave him in case he woke up. Maybe he was giving you extra money so you could put yourself up at the Ned. Link to post Share on other sites
JuneL Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Now that your husband has been awake, I think you should follow what he said and go home and rest every night. Staying with him in the hospital may not be sustainable in the longer term. You mentioned that most of his friends are not willing to help. How about your own friends? They can help you with some essential errands like cooking home-made food and bringing you stuff. Even friends who are not super close would be willing to help at a tough time like this. I remember when the wife of a former colleague had terminal stage cancer, he had a website listing the food they needed, and quite a few people were happy to help. I worked in a heavily male dominated environment, and some of my colleagues had stay-at-home wives who were quite helpful with cooking for the colleague in need. Link to post Share on other sites

He is the sort of guy that give his heart to me or if I needed a lung he would be the first one to offer his to me. He is the sort of guy that would give money if someone is coming to see him in hospital so they are not out of pocket. He always puts me first. He seemed disappointed when I explained there was no fanfair or big launch for it. Had to explain why. It’s still sweet that you didn’t want to leave him in case he woke up. Maybe he was giving you extra money so you could put yourself up at the Ned. Whats the ned? Have to say this kebab is the best ever! Link to post Share on other sites
