GRRRRRR, no hospital bed today. They called and said that they were very busy today and can they bring it tomorrow. Kind of a boring day today. It is dreary and rainy outside. Makes you want to take a nap. I have been setting different goals for myself every day in order to make my house a cleaner and happier place to be. With the therapists and nurses and visiters coming all of the time it makes me upset that my house is kinda messy. Today I moved Speakers that my husband just has to have into another room that we just use for storage. took me forever to talk him into letting me move them. Tomorrow, Hopefully, I have my living room back and can get some of his medical machinery into the bedroom. I had a talk with hubby last night about getting up and getting moving, that it will help him get stronger faster, and that I am not saying things all day long just to nag him, but it is for his own good. He said that he understood, but he is not doing anything today either. I am not sure what else I can do or say to get him up and moving. He asked me last night if I really thought that he was going to get better. I can't tell him the truth, on what I think, because I think he will get a little better, but not alot better, I know that if I tell him that, he will give up and get worse. MY THOUGHT FOR TODAY.......Start each day like your going to make a difference.

You know something girlfriend? You hubby has to want to do this for himself, and it doesn\'t matter how much you do for him, do your part, he isn\'t going to get better until he decides that he WANTS to get better. You know, when he asked if you thought he was going to get better, it was showing that he himself doesn\'t believe it at the moment, and that\'s a difficult thing to overcome. I know it\'s hard for you darlin\' but you must hold one. I\'m so glad that you are doing things for yourself like quitting smoking and getting healthier, because sitting and moping isn\'t going to do either of you any good. I wish there was a magic potion you could give your hubby to motivate him, but unfortunately there isn\'t. Maybe you have to start making goals for him.... example: don\'t have a t.v. in the bedroom (if you do) and if he wants to watch, he\'s got to come out in the livingroom to see it. Or make sure you don\'t bring his meals to him... make him sit at the table. Such things like that. I don\'t know what\'s happening in your house right now, these are just little ideas to get him moving, etc... Drop me a message if you feel like it, and we can talk more on this. Hugs and kisses, i hope you feel better. Deb :0)
