The good: he’s now on BP medication, which is helping tremendously (he still chews though)

The good/bad: all his blood test, heart ultrasound, basically the works, all came back squeaky clean. I was at least hoping/praying something would be elevated enough to warrant a warning or scare him a little, nothing serious ya know but... Nope! He literally said while being discharged “see I’m fine, now you can get off my back” (insert eye roll here)

I hope your husbands results are good too...
But please, please make sure you keep looking after yourself. It seems these things pop up and we tend to get side tracked/old habits because...well because it’s what we (at least me) caregivers do.






Isnt that crazy that the dentist found that problem. I thought to myself when he told me what they said. I wished they could test your liver. Thanks for you encouraging words. Means a lot. All this is hard. It’s nice to have someone understand exactly what you are going through.

And I’m really trying to take care of myself and the kids. I’m seeing a counselor once a week. We are staying away as much as possible. Trying to wait until I know he’s gone to bed to come home. That’s helping right now.
