Me and Me journey post 3

We would get his treatment down right and then the doctor would change things again, add more meds, but that was waht we had to do for him to live. I was working at this time, as a waitress. I would hook him up and go off to work, but my mind was still at home worried sick about him. There was days he felt good and on those days he would drop me off at work and go visit our daughter and grandkids, but there soon came the day when he picked me up from work and said I dont remember driving here. Our daughter also noticed him not remembering things. One night I got off work it was 9:30 p.m. When I got home he was not acting right, I said are you okay, want something to eat, he said no I'm not hungry. I made me a sandwich,and we sit there talking when all of a sudden he started to jerk and jump, I called 911 and they came and took him to the , hospital, I followed in the car, when I got there they had him tied down to a bed, later they later found he had had 3 strokes. They addmitted him for test and he was there for 28 days. I would sit with him until time to go to work and then after work, 9:30 I would go back to the hospital and sit with him for a few hours then head home shower and little sleep. I would always try to get to the hospital by 8 am. I wanted to be there when the doctor came in. When the doctor let him go home they also set up for a home nurse to come in 3 times a week, to help him get his strength back. He could no longer walk up stairs to bed we had to have a hospital bed for downstairs, he also could not get around to go to the bathroom, he was forced to be put in diapers. To sit and watch someone you have been married to for 31 years go down hill so fastwas hard to do.
