I'm so tired. And I miss the hell out of my husband. I have barely talked to him in a week. He would come to the hospital, visit for an hour, go home to take care of the dog and go to work. I stayed at the hospital with Jeff. Then the whole routine would start all over the next morning. When Jeff came home Friday, Rob went to work and Shelley was home with me. Saturday, he did a side job and didn't come home until 10. Sunday, we were busy in the house with cleaning and laundry and such. We've been passing each other like ships in the night. It is what it is. Maybe I'll be able to reconnect with him this weekend. It's like having a newborn baby all over again.
He's been working late the last two days and then comes home and we wash the baby (it's a two person job), feed him and put him to bed.
By the time we eat it's 9. I can't even make it through a meal without falling asleep. I was lucky I got a shower yesterday. Today, not yet. I don't even really care if I do. I just want BLTs and bed.
An old friend of mine from high school, that I haven't seen in over 12 years, came over for a visit yesterday. We reconnected through Facebook last year. We grew up in the same neighborhood. And you know how good of a friend you really are with each other when after 12 years you can sit down with a cup of coffee and talk like you had just seen each other yesterday.
She brought over ravioli and homemade italian bread. Totally hit the spot for dinner last night. WW can wait until I start to function as a human being again.
Jeff is watching The Fresh Beat Band clapping away.
We had a few snags today.
He seems to still be in so much pain so I called the doctor. Of course, he called back as I was napping. Three times.
I woke myself up and called him back, on his cell phone, I believe. I asked about the codeine and valium and he told me that once the codeine is gone, then we can give him tylenol (in Jeff's case, motrin) and sometimes kids coming off the narcotic "feel" more pain than is really there and that it effects kids different then adults. I have 10 valium doses left so that should work for a while. It's very muscle oriented so I can see how that would work better.
I managed to get all the laundry done and the dishes done and took two little naps with Jeff (before the phone rang).
Just an update. Rob is out of the shower and Jeff is getting crabby. Time to wash the baby.
Love you all.
Be well.
