It's been a month since I've posted anything. Lots going on. Lack of time and energy.
Les fell twice and injured his back. He fell because he had no strength due to another infection. I called 911 and the EMTs were here quickly. The hospital was a mess though. It was so very crowded that Les was on a stretcher in the ER hallway all day. Eventually he was admitted but we had to wait until there was a room for them to take him to. After a couple days he was discharged, and we have had home health nurses, physical therapists, and an occupational therapist coming several times a week. Also had several doctor appointments and follow-up appointments. He is slowly getting a bit better, and still using the walker.
Shortly after getting him home, I got sick. Our PCP wasn't available and I saw a PA who told me I had a virus after she tested me for Covid and Flu. Those were both negative. Told me to use Sudafed and Tylenol and I'd be better in three or four days. I wasn't. So I went to Med Express and was told I had acute bronchitis. First thing they did was give me a steroid injection, then a thirty minute breathing treatment, then a chest x-ray. It is now week three. I have finished the steroid prescription, the antibiotics, and am still using the inhaler. I am getting better, but still coughing more than I would like.
And that all explains why there have been no posts. I am helping Les as much as he needs and trying to get better. Everything else is just not getting done.
Our weather has been cold, gray, and wet. Although we did have a touch of snow again yesterday.
Take care of yourselves and stay safe. Life is still good. I am still ready for Spring. And God Bless America!
