Tired so tired.
Having a very tired day. I am not sleeping well at night anymore. Part of it is the pain that I am in. My doc came in on Sat & increase my long acting pain med's & started me on an antibiotic for the bladder infection. Last tues we got bad news from my Hubby's heart doc. B/c our old family doc didn't dx his heart problems he got his bi-pass done about ten yrs too late. By the time it was done his heart was enlarged, a couple of weeks after it was done he went into heart failure.
He has been very tired lately & getting allot of chest pain. I was hoping that they could so something. But when we went to the doc's, he said that they artery disease was very advanced. He also said that it was the little arteries in the middle of the heart where they can't get to or bi-pass. He said the last angiogram showed stents would not help either b/c it is all of them not just a small spot. So they put him on a couple of drugs to help extend his life. Weather that is one day or two yrs or more they do not know & can not say.
I have not cried or got upset about it I am numb. Walking (well wheeling) around in a stupor. Today I am soo tired I stayed in bed until 1 pm before I got the nurse to help wash up for the day & get into my chair. I did not even get dressed, I plan on going back to bed rate after supper.

Now I understand why you have been so upset. It is hard enough when one in the marriage has serious health issues but when it\'s both of you, it is so hard to deal with. I know as you lean on the God of all comfort, He will give you the strength that you both need to endure the days ahead. Please tell Bruce that you are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Gentle hugs and joined at the heart, Linda
