One of these days, I will stop to tell you about my husband. He went to all the dr appts with me, wrote down his own questions for the doctors, spent the entire week in the hospital (he slept in my room) with me, he asked every nurse everything he wanted to and got his answers, he was my advocate. Upon coming home, he had cleaned the house, worked full time and came home and made dinner, my mom was there also. She stayed in the hospital with me also...they made an exception...and she helped me get better afterwards. My inlaws came 2 weeks later, stayed with me, went on walks with me, asked the visiting nurses questions. I am so grateful to all of these people. My inlaws are in their 70s, so is my mom, but they came anyway...I hope my mom is able to have her surgery done sooner than later (found an aortic arch aneurysm on her during CT while hospitalized for COPD). She is 4.7 now and is slowly regaining her health.
