With Chris in Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, I get to spend my day quietly sitting by his bed. I can read. I can watch his TV. I get to talk to him and the nursing staff and Doctors. This is a quiet, non-demanding time. So why is it so stressful!
Yes, there is concern about Chris' health. But, really, he is getting better care than I could give him at home. His meals are regular (if a little small). His pain is being monitored and drugs are available if required. All his bodily needs are being met. The staff discuss his condition with him and he is alert and responsive. So why did I feel like I had been ran over by a truck when I got home last night at 7pm?
Yes, we had a different day - MAU to a Ward move, CT scan, new Doctors etc. But overall, it was a good day. I had tons of phone calls from work, clients, family. Not much different from a day in Quesnel.
Today - I am going to try to relax more - let things happen and not fuss or worry. I am going to be positive and hopeful that these Doctors will find something that has been missed - and can be helped.
There - that is my plan . . .
