Hubby has been discharged! We are back in our Home Sweet Home once again and now we have a living room full of new stuff - oxygen machine with some really long tubing, oxygen tanks for when we leave home, nebulizer, walker, and a feeding pump/iv pole and new prescriptions. Hopefully within a few months all that stuff will be unnecessary except for the feeding tube/iv pole. Time will tell.
And what did I do for 12 hours a day in a hospital room? I kept an eye on healthcare workers, read 2.5 books and did a LOT of BIG stich hand quilting. In fact I did so much hand quilting that I am now about ready to add binding. More on that later. I did snack once in awhile on a diet of apples, bananas, granola, cheese, crackers, pretzels, Gatorade, iced tea and water. Must be a good diet for weight loss!
And sew on...
So pleased to hear your husband is back home and you now have the right equipment to hand. It will be a treat for you to cook yourself a proper meal. The big stitch project looks good. Take care of yourself, Cathy.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, glad to hear things are looking up for your husband.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I’m rejoicing that you and your husband are home from the hospital. Praying for his breathing… Hurray for more food options at home. (After BP went up and legs swole, I lived on primarily apples and coffee while with my husband during his Alaska hospitalization. So glad that’s over!)

glad you are all settled back in at home even with all the equipment do you have a home health nurse to check on things? It is so uncomfortable being in a hospital I'm sure you are glad to be home
ReplyDeleteGlad you're both home! Those roses on your quilt remind us that you probably need a bit of a stroll through your rose garden right about now!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC news! I cannot remotely imagine the relief you both feel to be back home. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYay, for being home from the hospital. I can't wait to see the rose quilt finished. Roses are one of my favorite flowers, even though I no longer grow them. (The deer, you know).

I'm happy you are back to home sweet home. Yes that sounds like a diet to loose weight and a lot easier to o when you don't have access to a kitchen full of goodies.
ReplyDeleteThat's good news that your hubby is now home again with you. Wonder what your big stitched quilt is like? All will be revealed soon, I sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news that you are both back home, despite the collection of medical equipment. I know what a relief that must be.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news, Cathie! I'm so happy for both of you. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery so that the oxygen machine and its followers can return to the hospital. God bless. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your news, Cathy! I've been thinking about you both. I bet it feels so good to be home. I definitely hope your hubby gets better each day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad he is back home - here's to a fast healing and hugs to you both!
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you two and was getting a little anxious to hear from you. I am so glad you two are back in the comfort of your own home even though it might be a little crowded for now. I'm impressed and a little jealous that you got some big stitching done on a quilt. I have a really old jean quilt that I started and need to finish so I can get some big stitching done on it. That would be a nice thing to do while sitting by the fire this winter.
ReplyDeleteGlad you kept on eye on the health care workers- I am sure there was better care. You are wise. Sounds like a lot of extra work at home, but it must be a relief to be home. Prayers for your hubby to respond and heal up.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be home. I'm happy for you for that. Please find all the joy you and hubby can in the little things and each other. I am grateful that you are out there reporting it to all us so that we can share in your life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief to be in your own home again! So happy to hear from you as I was starting to get a little worried.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are both home in familiar surroundings. That is bound to help both of you recover.
ReplyDeleteI have watched the SIS's being made and you ended up with a great 1st quilt! Looking forward to more.
So pleased to read that your husband is home now with you albeit with all the necessary equipment needed.
ReplyDeleteWHEW! So happy to read this post. Continued love and prayers to you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are home and that hubby is on the mend! Sounds like a lot of nursing care is needed...hope that goes smoothly. Hand quilting is the best comfort stitching!
