My wife is improving she's in hospital a ramble.
It’s lonely here the boys left for jersey early this morning to get their grandmother my wife’s mom and her aunt my wife’s aunt to bring them out to biglerville pa area they will be home Sunday. Sarcasm I do not do well alone after 36 years of being married and raising a family.
My wife fell Tuesday around 10:00 am in downstairs bathroom she passed out. And she broke her hip ankle they said ruptured a disc in her spine. She has a infection that caused this as she was weak and passed out ,yesterday was great day as she is awake and alert she has been out of it with fever, yesterday she asked if she missed thanksgiving I smiled it is her favorite day she was born 1968 on thanksgiving day.
I noticed my wife starting to just show illness Sunday she just looked tired dark circles under her eyes and I said we should go Docs Monday she said she will be fine as she was already on antibiotic for her bronchitis. Since 2.5 years ago when she had COVID pneumonia was in hospital three weeks then rehab she has struggled and I’m really in tune and watch her for any illness.
The dogs the dunk pup and chocolate menace are doing their part cuz they know their lady is missing they been shitting by the gate so she can catch the scent and find her way home. Mr big paws our fourteen year old golden retriever is my wife’s soulmate and he just stands in yard sniffing the air for her I hug mister big paws such a pure heart.
My wife has taken to sleeping in downstairs bedroom as I because it has become difficult for her to climb stairs we live in a old Victorian to explain why we choose now sleep in downstairs bedroom. Yet since Tuesday night we been deploying the huge air mattress so mr big paws dunk pup and man crash on it and we pack sleep.
We usually or I or boys will lift Mr big paws into downstairs bed so he sleeps with his love. I just don’t feel like sleeping in the bed so been using air mattress covering it over with sleeping bag. So just hanging out today was up 02:00 the sleeping bag by my ankle was wet from dunk sleep drool then did some worsh as my Appalachian grandma would say , I actually done two loads of worsh dried and folded.
Just a ramble I’m just I don’t know take it easy all.

I know I'd heal best if my beloved dog were right next to me, so you've "done well." 
to what others have already said, but I can't.
Take care of yourself, you don't want to share a double hospital bed.
Best wishes. 
yourself during this stressful time. Being a caretaker is hard work, and it sounds like your wife will need a lot of help from you all during her convalescence.
Her bones will heal. 
but it will take time. Husband broke his hip a couple of years ago. I didn’t have him go to rehab because it was early Covid pre-vaccines. It was very painful at first and he couldn’t take opiates because they really messed with his mind. So Tylenol around the clock. One thing that helped immensely was I rented a hospital bed with the remote control movement so the back could be adjusted and also the mattress was very hard. A side benefit is it was a little noisy when he moved so he couldn’t get out of bed without me hearing and waking up. It helped him get up and get in a transport chair (lighter weight than a wheel chair but has to be pushed and can’t be self propelled). The bed was needed for 2-3 weeks. If she is going to rehab for a few weeks this might not be necessary.
Sending healing light to your wonderful wife. 💗
I wish your family all the best. They are lucky to have such a loving, caring pop and hubby. Your furry kids will keep you safe and sane til they all return.
Btw...I love reading your posts. Keep up the good work. 
Hang in there 💪. Prayers going out for you and wife.
F****ng Covid!
I hope having the family around will ease your burden so you can visit her longer and she’ll get better quicker. Such an awful trying time for you guys. Please know your Ohio pack is here and pulling for you all to be back home together soon.
Hugs …. and slobber kisses from Sophie …. please keep us updated.
At least the fur beasts are there with you. I send best wishes to your wife, I hope she recovers quickly.
As mentioned above, take care of yourself so you have the energy and strength to be there for her.
You'll get through this... it's only temporary.
I am so sorry to hear Mrs. Dunc is injured & in the hospital! 
A broken hip is really tough!
I had bursitis really bad in my hip 15 y/ago & learned why elders fear a broken hip. There is no position that is comfortable, except flat on your back.
Her poor soul mate golden... heartbreaking.
I'll keep the healing vibes flowing to her, you, & your family.
Did doc tell her how long she will be in the hospital & how long hip will take to heal?
For future reference, Dunc, doctor can provide a shot of Rocephin right in the office for persistent infection, providing one isn't allergic & no med contraindications.
Please take good care of yourself & the pack. I'll be thinking of you guys.
... the business of day to day stuff and relaxation.

Keep healthy, sleep well, may you get this set back behind you as rapidly as possible. Our best thoughts are with you and your family.
