Lion EA Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Wonderful news! Continued healing to Don. A more stress-free atmosphere to you, I hope. Do hire help or accept volunteers from church, neighbors, where ever, to give you some free time out of the house. We love you and continue to pray for all of you.

kcjenkins Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thank you all. Waiting now for the Doc to come and give us the go-no go decision. Expect it will be go. On a lighter note, this is a hilarious short video. Funny how people just have to press that button! http://www.tvkim.com/watch/1909/kims-picks-push-to-add-drama?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=notd&utm_content=2012-04-20-fifl&utm_campaign=s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not quite so wonderful after all, we are staying at least one more day. He may have a UTI or be on the edge of another seizure, they are not sure, but know that something is wrong tonight. Keep praying, please, I WANT TO GO HOME !!!!!!

Lion EA Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 We're praying. You both will be more confortable at home. I'm lay reader on Sunday, so lots of prayers will get sent up when I lead the prayers of the people. You can do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 It was a UTI, so we are still here in the hospital, getting antibiotics by IV. Hope to go home Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 At least a diagnosis and treatment. Sunday is a good day for all of us to pray! Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Finally got home late afternoon yesterday. Wonderful to be able to sleep in a real bed, although I now have to clean out the fridge, as everything in it is a month old. HOWEVER, just had to call 911 for some strong men to lift him off the floor after he tried to move from the recliner to the wheelchair without my help, and ended up sliding out on to the floor. My love is nothing if not stubborn, and he thought since he got from the bed to the wheelchair alone, he could do it again. But while I had placed his chair carefully by the bed, to get him into the bed, and not moved it [my mistake] he was able to do that. But he then moved from the wheelchair to the recliner a bit awkwardly, and so his chair was a bit too far away when he decided that he did not need to call me from the kitchen to get back into the chair. By the time I knew he was in trouble, he had slid too far for little old me to be able to get him back up. He's unhurt, but embarrassed. And I've moved the chair across the room from the bed, now that I have him back in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 When I was in the hospital after open heart surgery 3 years ago, I fell out of the bed while still hooked up to all kinds of tubes in trying to reach something on the table beside the bed. I told the nurses that I was just checking them out to see how alert they were and that I would give them a good recommendation to the CEO. Maybe Don was just checking you out to see how alert you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Don sounds like a typical husband. If he is that stubborn and determined, he should surely get well. I have one just like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Smart move to get that chair OUT of temptation-close-reach!! SO glad to hear you folks are home. You're STILL on the prayer list here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 And if you have neighbors with strong arms you are on good terms with, it might be nice to keep their numbers handy. When my mum was too weak to get out of the car, and my dad was too weak to help her, the neighbor's high school football playing sons saved the day. And it saves on any EMT charges.

Lion EA Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hope your 911 calls are no more frantic than this one! I think his stubbornness will help him heal faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Had to call them again today, so that chair is going out of the room entirely for now!!!!! No close neighbors, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Tell him you'll strap him down if he tries again!!!! It's gotta be hideously difficult to want to do what you could in the past and not be able to even be able to move around by yourself. I feel for you and Don.

Lion EA Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Put an alarm on that chair!! Or, a bell on Don! No, please don't. He's just trying to be self-sufficient and not bother you. Put the alarm on the chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well the good thing is that without my help he can not get up to grab the chair. The bad thing is that without my help he can not get up. Keep praying please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
