I got home from the hospital last night and I just was drained. It’s hard to believe how not doing much can be so tiring! Some days I’ve gotten up at 6:00 a.m., gone swimming, then to work, then worked out at lunch, work some more and then come home and make dinner, and I am more tired today than that type of day.
Tony is doing well – the first day out of post-op is the toughest. We are out of the ICU. He had an awful roommate the night before. He was a diabetic, couldn’t feel his feet. When the nurse took his blood sugar she said “it’s 280 so I need to give you some insulin” and he was like “that’s a low number for me.” What??!!
But the good news is Tony has a private room that actually has some space so I don’t feel like I am right on top of him. He slept in and out most of the say yesterday. His heart doctor, surgeon and GP all came by and said he’s doing great – wonderful news!
I am taking one more day off of work to be with him. Please know how much I appreciate all your kind comments and emails – its really helped me more than you’ll ever know!
We are supposed to have record temps today – almost to 60 degrees! Hopefully all this dirty snow will melt 😀
Have a great day and thanks again! 😀
I am glad to hear Tony is doing well. I am sure you all cannot wait until you get him back home.
I m behind in my google reader but I really wanted you to know that I have been praying for you and Tony!
Continuing to keep Tony in my prayers. Hope he is on the fast track to recovery. Keep the faith and the positive attitude….
Hang in there – it’s hard, being the “watcher” – be sure you are taking care of yourself, too.
Fabulous news!! I’m so glad Tony is doing well and hope he recovers quickly *hugs*
Dear Biz,
You are one strong lady! Wishing you and Tony all the best.
I hope you get some sleep! And I am SO glad to hear that Tony is doing well. As always- my heart is with you!

*****HUGS*****
Being at the hospital is exhausting!! I’m so glad that he is doing well! Take care of yourself! Hugs!
Biz, there is nothing harder… we did 10 days total in the hospital. Except for the days in isolation, we never had a private room. That is great…
I dropped you a note in my post today..

I agree with the others that caregiving is no picnic, and it is emotionally exhausting. Thanks for the update – glad Tony is doing well. And take yourself!
So glad Tony is doing well!!! Hospital days are exhausting… Hang in there, and don’t forget to take a little “me time” each day! We can only be the best for others if we take of ourselves… Hugs!
You are hardly doing nothing! You are worrying your ass off and triple checking that your beloved is in the best care at all times. Emotional exhaustion is worse than physical exhaustion any day!
Try to take care of yourself when you have a moment! 🙂
I am LOVING this warm weather! SO happy that Tony is doing well! Remember to take care of YOU too!
