UPDATE...
HELLO, SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ON MUCH THIS WEEK. FIRST I HAVE BEEN REALLY TIRED FROM LOSING AN HOUR SLEEP ON SUNDAY. I KNOW SOME OF YOU CHANGE CLOCKS AND SOME OF YOU DON'T. IT JUST TAKES AWHILE TO GET USED TO TIME CHANGE.
THEN MONDAY AFTER WE CAME BACK FROM A LATE LUNCH MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING ON HIS WALKER WAITING FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING. WHERE HE WAS SITTING THE GROUND WASN'T LEVEL. HE LOST HIS BALANCE AND FELL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM UP. SOMEONE DRIVING BY SAW HIM ON THE GROUND AND CAME BACK TO SEE IF WE NEEDED ANY HELP. THAT WAS VERY NICE OF THEM.
ANYWAY, WE GOT IN AND HE WAS SITTING THERE AND HE STARTED FEELING PAIN FROM THE FALL ON HIS LEFT SIDE PLUS HE HIT HIS HEAD ON THE VAN AND HAD A SMALL BUMP. SO I TOOK HIM TO THE VA EMERGENCY ROOM. WE GOT THERE AND SIGNED IN JUST BEFORE 6:30PM. HE NEVER GOT INTO A ROOM UNTIL ALMOST 9:30 AND IT WAS ALMOST AN HOUR LATER BEFORE HE SAW A DOCTOR. THEY WERE SO BUSY AND EVERYONE THAT CAME IN AFTER HIM HAD WORSE PROBLEMS.
FINALLY, ONCE THE DOCTOR CAME IN AND SAW HIM THEY GOT HIM TO X-RAY AND DID A TC SCAN AND SOME X-RAYS. EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THEY FINALLY DISCHARGED HIM AT ALMOST 12:30 AND IT WAS ABOUT 1:00AM BEFORE WE GOT HOME.
SO I'M STILL TRYING TO NOT BE SO TIRED. ALSO, THE CYMBALTA MAKES ME TIRED. HOPEFULLY SOON I CAN STOP BEING SO TIRED. LOL!
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED NIGHT AND WEEKEND. HUGS, CHRIS

sorry u\'re hubby fell but he\'s ok thats what counts....now go get some rest.......god bless ya\'ll ...
Oh, Chris, I\'m so sorry you both had to go through that. The only redeeming thing is that your husband wasn\'t seriously hurt. I so understand how hard it is to function on little sleep. It\'s hard to think when you\'re SOOO tired. I hope you\'re able to get some rest, if not enough sleep. God bless you both. ~ Karen
sorry your husband had to go thru that but glad everything was ok. I hope you get a decent sleep soon and feel better.
Thanks goodness your husband was ok. Sleep, the best word and action in the world when you are a caregiver. Gotta have it. I hope and pray you have a quiet relaxing weekend. Did you get those snows squalls we did today?
my goooooodness................those unplanned things that happen sure do lead us on a merry chase...........I\'m glad your mate is alright...........I wish they had different lines at hospitals like they do in stores............they need a variety of express lines...........that was a very very long day for ya\'ll..............i bet you\'re both seriously tuckered out..............try to rest up this week-end.......praying for you both........nite nite and soft hugs!!
Being retired Navy, as soon as I saw VA I new you were going to have a story. I am glad everything is okay and pray for rest for both of you. You have to keep yourself strong. Gods blessings to you!!
Dear Chris, I am so sorry that your hubby fell, but thank the Lord, he is OK. What a harrowing experience to have to wait so long:-( I hope that you can catch up on your sleep this week-end!
God bless you both,
Love & hugs,
Lois
Falls are so scary arent they and ER are just hell.Im also tired from the time change although i must say its nice to have daylight earlier but still.Take care of each other and i hope you both have a wonderful weekend...hugzzz
Seems like soooo many people are falling these days, or maybe it is those in my age group, lol. I am glad your husband is okay and hope you both get some much needed rest.

So sorry to hear about your troubles and how long the ER took, but thankful to God your hubby wound up being OK. Hope you get some rest and will feel rejuvenated soon. Love, peace and blessings to you always!
THANK YOU EVERYONE. YES, THANK YOU, JESUS THAT HE DIDN\'T GET SERIOUSLY HURT. ONCE THEY NEW IT WAS HIS NECK THEY PUT A COLLAR ON HIM UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO GEY SOME X-RAYS AND MADE SURE HE WAS OK. HIS NECK AND HEAD DID HURT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT THEY ARE BETTER NOW. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONCERN. WE DID FINALLY GET SOME REST. STILL TIRED BUT WILL MAKE IT. WE\'RE GOING TO TRY AND MAKE CHURCH TOMORROW. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED NIGHT AND REST OF THE WEEKEND. HUGS, CHRIS
I am glad your hubby is ok.The scare probbably tired you out all so.Er visits make me tired.I dont know how sitting around in those places make us so tired but they do.I think its a mental strain wondering when they are going to tend to you.
hope he\'s okay. nice that someone helped!
