Sad today....

I'm rather sad today. My husband had open heart surgery a couple of weeks ago. I was able to stay at the hospital where he had his surgery, which was kinda good since the hospital was 2 1/2 hours from our home. It was probably the worst two weeks of my life. It was very scary to see how he reacted when he came out of anesthesia.

He is now at a hospital closer to home for therapy, as he needs to be able to stand and walk and all that before he can come home. Problem is that due to covid-19, I can't visit him. I've talked/texted him, but it's not the same. Today he told me, as he has previously, that he wants to come home. It breaks my heart when he says this as I too want him to come home, but I also know he is not ready. It's so hard to keep a positive outlook when he is so down. I try to tell him things that I hope will make him feel better, but I can't be certain that it helps. I know it doesn't help me.

The stress of this situation is wearing on me. I no longer feel exhausted, but maybe that's just because it's the weekend and I don't have to do anything. Only time will tell.

I'm sorry to hear you are sad. I wish your husband a speedy recovery.

Best wishes for your hubby's speedy recovery & your reunion.

Two steps forward, one step back. This is crazy! I get one day, maybe two, that my hubby is doing better...then I hear something that is not so good. Why can't he get a break and just be able to get better so he can come home. It's so hard to hear him on the phone asking what he did in his life that was so bad that he is now being punished for it. And I can't even be there for him. I want so much to hold him and tell him all will be alright, but I can't. I don't know how much more stress I can take. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. This is the only place I have to vent and even then it doesn't feel worth it. Life sucks!

I'm sorry to hear that.
