Had just gotten a hoyer to lift my husband. Wanted to put him in bed from his wheelchair. Started lifting him up, he started wheezing, as he has COPD , I asked him if he needed his breathing medicine. He shook his head no....he also has garbled speech due to PSP disease. I couldn't get the wheelchair to move away from him. Realized the sling was caught on the arms....fixed that. Started over....got him up in the air to move him...he started wheezing again...once again....do you need your breathing medicine? He shook his head no....continued to jack him up...tried to move the wheelchair out of the way....WTF...the wheel chair was moving on its own off the ground....OMG...I forgot to unbuckle his seatbelt ! Poor guy..and he was so good about it...I felt so bad for him.
Anyone else do stupid stuff too, that you can look back on and laugh about?
the entire 6 years here, we only shared a good belly-laugh -once-,
not for lack of trying to find some humor, somehow.
The rest of the time was pretty ...umm...complicated.
Dunno----maybe someday? And that may be best kept private, as it may resemble the most sophomoric of "morgue humor".
It's a long road to healing, isn't it?
Her smile is everything to me!
One time before the poor little thing was having a mastectomy the doctor came in and asked all the routine questions she behaved herself as this guy was so young and a real cutie. Then she looked up at him straight faced and said she was a terrible drinker. The nurse was behind the doctor cracking up and the poor guy took her serious until she grabbed his hand and winked at him!
It's been a difficult day and I am very worried about her, this was a happy break writing this. Take care one and all!
