thank you for my heart
I don't know who you are but thank you
it has been a rough 3 months ....
Nov 12 wife got a cortisone shot 3 days later she is in
terrible pain ... 5 days later she can not walk and can
barely walk ... got to the ER they can't find anything
7 days later back to ER this time by ambulance.. MRI
shows something on her spine ....
off we go to the main hospital ... her white count was north of 55k
and it has been hell since ... 3 months in the hospital and rehab.
thank GOD for Tricare ...
we had all ready met our catastrophic limit...
so she had a bacterial blood infection that attacked her joints
her spine, her neck, her shoulder, a couple of others l don't remember
so they cut and washed everything but the spine.. the nero surgeon didn't
recommend cutting that .... she can feel her feet ... move her feet
just can't stand without help and of course no walking...
still going down this path.... she is my life mate so I go to work
drive an hour to the hospital... spend time with her ...go home
pay bills clean and cook for the week... and crash ... and get up the
next day and do it again ....
I just needed to vent .... thanks and thanks for the heart
I can not return the favor but thanks .....
hug your loved ones often ....

No one can return love.
Sending you and your wife best healing vibes. I will say a prayer for her recovery, hope you don’t mind. 
my lifemate is coming home Monday...
OT and PT both recommended that she be discharged said there wasn't
much else they could do that couldn't be done at home.
she was doing wheelchair pushups first one was a little higher then
normal, 2nd one higher still, 3rd one the OT person said I can put my book
under you.. 4th one she stood for the first time in 3 months ....
the next day she transitioned from her bed to the wheelchair using a walker
meaning she was able to pivot, now she had a nurse next to her, but it is a start.
home healthcare is coming either Monday or Tuesday ...
insurance is getting us a drop arm bedside commode on Monday
told em to come late ... 3-5 pm ... cuz I will be in VA picking her up.
anyway ... I am a happy little boy....
