So now I need to share some more snapshots of my
time in the hospital. I really only remember bits of this time in my life and
most of this is what my Wonderful wife has relayed to me.
My wife had requested a bed to be brought into my
room and she just moved in! She was now definitely, in charge and she was going
to take care of her Husband.
She monitored all the movements and information that
she could. She wanted to find someone who could get her some answers. She
asked, CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND OUT OR GIVE ME AN ASWER TO WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK
FOR MY HUSBAND? Her world has now been traumatized!
In a marriage, both parties have their own parts of
daily life that they assume and perform as a partner in that marriage. Now, in
her mind, In a matter of a couple of heartbeats, her husband was immediately pushing
her into a very scary place, now a caregiver!`
The scary thing for her now is to try and process what
this new word caregiver is,
- She will
still have to perform her own normal activities as usual as part of her
life,
- She potentially
could now have to perform her Husband’s work,
- She potentially
could now have to perform collectively both of our work,
A caregiver is one of the most needed, overwhelmed, overworked
and valuable persons in the life off a disabled person. They are under thank
and most time are motivated by fear, care, love and the desire to help as best
they can in whatever way they can.
My wife was my best motivator and her pushing me was
one part of the miracle of my recovery.
