Moving right along…

28 Oct

The turn out seat is installed in our truck and we are currently at a guest house for the night and will be checking into the SCI and MS clinic tomorrow morning at 9am.  Tomorrow is sure to be a very long and tiring day for both of us.

Things that I’m hoping for and ASKING for:

  • A lift – something to get him back up off the floor should he fall and be unable to assist me with getting back up
  • Regular Physical Therapy in our home!
  • Cognitive or Speech Therapy or both (he is still struggling to speak)
  • Assistance getting his claim fast tracked in NYC at the Regional office.

I’m sure I’ll think of more things as we go along.  So three days of HELP is coming up and I am so thankful just to be here.  Also loving the guest house where we are staying tonight as they have a handicapped accessible room for us and a lovely guest home with TV for my addicted husband.  And DINNER was provided too, I had buffalo chicken mac and cheese, he had some minestrone soup and bread.  All for the bargain of $35 per night.

Today was better…

04 Oct

Small victories, today I had no urine soaked anything to clean up.  Today I did not have to pick my husband up off the floor after yet another fall.  Today we talked a little bit and we cuddled for awhile.  Things are different for sure but laying in each others arms makes things feel a bit more normal and the bad a little easier to face.

Some things are starting to fall into place – We are going to an SCI clinic where he will get 3 days of  assessment and help planning for the future and what that may mean for us.  The wheelchair ramp is ordered and should be here in 3 weeks.  They are also installing a seat similar to this to our truck so I can get him in and out of the truck much easier.

Still so much up in the air but after a series of very bad days it was nice to have one that was not horrible.
