However today, I feel just fine I feel my normal self, no fog or fuzz on the brain, t0day I feel better and I don’t need to double up on my meds , which is a good thing because I’d sleep half of tomorrow away! I take Mirtazapine and Risperidone, though Thursday I am gonna talk to my shrink about getting off the Risperidone as I don’t think it’s doing much for me except making it difficult to lose weight.
So it turned out to be a rather good day, even if my wife slaved my ass all day, I was more than happy to do as she asked because of the big prize at the end (I’ll get to that in a bit),so my wife decided that today would be a good day to move the living room around …again, so Hammy and I spent the morning moving furniture and vacuuming the carpet with my industrial shop vac, (Now for the prize)…. My wife is feeling well enough to sleep upstairs in our bedroom in our bed again!! so I took her oxygen machine up there and set everything up for her, and I will just have to get used to sleeping against the wall instead of on the outside as I used to do. … That’s the PRIZE!! My wife sleeping with me again!! it will be the first time in 8 long frightening months that I have been able to sleep with her and hold her !! That’s a pretty friggin significant prize for me!!
For the last 8 months my wife has had a bed in the living room, under the picture window so she could look out and see the yard and the birds, I also stayed in the living room, I slept on the love seat (which is about 3 feet too short for me) never leaving her alone in case she needed help during the night. I had to learn, adapt,and overcome all the hardships that come with her having Lung Cancer, and no matter the situation I learned quickly and adapted , for the last 8 months the only time I went upstairs was to get a change of clothes,put laundry away or to tuck Hammy in for the night ( he is a kind hearted 13 year old, he just let’s me tuck him in because that’s our time together to talk and shtuff), so to say that I am excited for tonight is a huge understatement!!
So now Hammy and I moved the bed she slept on in the living room up to his bedroom (up until today he slept on a mattress on the floor), now he has a complete bed, actually 2 beds made into 1, he has 2 twin box springs stacked on top of each other and 2 twin mattresses on top of that, his new bed is really soft and he loves it.
Hammy and I moved the love seat under the picture window, now there is a big empty space, so thinking ahead I went on our villages what’s happening/buy and sell facebook page and stated that I was looking for an old hide a bed or futon in decent shape,color not important, my request wasn’t posted more than 10 minutes before I got a phone call, now sometime in the coming week I will have a hide a bed delivered.
The reason I asked for a hide a bed or futon is fairly simple, should my wife take a turn for the worse or go back for chemo after November 25th, there will be a bed waiting for her in the living room, and if she doesn’t need it so much the better, but it will be there if she needs it, also it works well for over night guests!
So that’s about it for tonight, thank you to everyone who wished for a better day for me today, I had a good day and am happy as a clam.
Remember folks: express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
