Hubby Update!



We are proud to announce that Hubby is feeling 95% better!
He has had two good nights of sleep.
Out of the three prescribed medications he only took the one twice and none today!
He has found that the TENS machine: (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation; a technique used to relieve pain in an injured or diseased part of the body in which electrodes applied to the skin deliver intermittent stimulation to surface nerves and block the transmission of pain signals. Thanks to: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/TENS That was for any who might not know.) is the most beneficial for his injury’s helping it to feel better and he wears it as much as he can…

His X-rays were taken yesterday for his left shoulder and chest and so far no news we are hoping means it is good news!
Today he searched for a new insurance company and it appears that as of January 1st he will be with Florida Blue Medicare and I am working on that too…with the same agent and it does look like I will be utilizing Florida Blue for my needs in January as well…

His next appointment with his doctor is next week for the follow-up and he does like this guy and now with the Florida Blue he will be able to keep him, since all of Millennium will not be taking Humana Gold Plus anymore, actually after December or there about, but will be taking Florida Blue, he checked.

And that is a point of contention with us now…
You see, I don’t want him lifting my wheelchair into our car; it weighs forty-seven pounds that is until he gets a clean bill of health from his doctor that is that his shoulder is good to go!

But he is insisting that we are returning to the gym/rehab on Monday and his appointment isn’t until Wednesday, you see the dilemma?

It doesn’t appear at this time that he broke it, but even soft tissue damage takes more time to heal than that would be…
He was born with a stubborn streak, a German all the way, and I was warned when I married him by even our sister-in-law who said that his brother, who she had five years already in, being married to him, was the same way…

My feeling is this, allow time to heal his injury and get the assurance from the doctor before doing literally heaving lifting, and I don’t think that is too much to ask?

What would you do?
I know many will say let him decide.
And more than likely that is the way it will turn out, but if he hurts himself or makes it worse I demand dibs on being able to say "I told you so!"
Ken ayina hora, I don’t really want to jinx him, but if he is not willing to listen to reason…still never!

On that note of we will see what we will see, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
