Not much to add today, except that Colin got me back. 😀 When we were first married, and he was going to kiss me, I coughed into his mouth. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. Now, I lean over him often to kiss him, especially when I arrive or leave, and he sometimes has … [Read more…]
Today I am grateful for Colin – the love of my life. Spent a lovely day with him, just being together. He is having quite bad spasms in his legs, and although the Doc has upped his meds for that, he is really struggling with it. One of the residents there has some issue with … [Read more…]
Another lovely day with my lovely. He had another surprise for me – he is able to move his left thumb just the teeniest bit. Today, I got to do his bladder washout for the first time. You essentially syringe a specific amount of saline into the catheter, and then suck it back out about … [Read more…]
Colin was ok today. He had quite a few visitors, and all the social activity and talking made him a bit tired so he was not able to stay in the chair for the hour as he got dizzy. It is more difficult for him to speak from a sitting position, and he completely First, … [Read more…]
Today was a really lovely day. I bought a headphone splitter so that Colin and I could watch a movies together on my laptop. We always used to watch Simpsons episodes when we went to bed so it could sort of lull us to sleep. This is one of the parts of our togetherness that … [Read more…]
This one may help with the keyboard operation. Way too early, but this one looks kinda useful: This knife-thingy would need a different handle, but something like this may be helpful when his strength returns so we can eat by himself with little or no asisstance. Here are some other types of cutlery he may … [Read more…]
Another good day today. But a very long day. It took me all day to go across town to take care of some admin near the original hospital, as well as at the original hospital. It was raining all day which also means that everyone had taken an extra dose of stupid pills and the … [Read more…]
We also had a really good laugh today, and here is one of favourite scenes from the IT crowd. I always loved it before, but today we got to laugh at it on a whole new level.
Colin was tired today, but is doing well. I need to learn to be less anxious when he is quiet or tired as it doesn’t always mean there is anything wrong. He is slowly gaining strength and continues with little wins. Today he fed himself 4 spoons by himself, and the OT helped him finish … [Read more…]
Today was another good day. Colin was feeling a little quiet today, but not sad. He worked hard in the gym in the morning, and then just after lunch he went back. HA HA! he has never been to gym three times a day before. My Grumpy who was next to him and kept disturbing … [Read more…]
