Visited Ken this evening. He was in a good mood, and had a good day. He was a little tired again, but otherwise feeling fine. We talked a little. I told him about the Trash Party this weekend, and he is fine with it. We talked about selling the house, where we would live when we moved. We talked about a house or a condo. We talked about the cars again, and he thinks we should sell the Mercedes and the Camry, and trade them both in on a new car. I have no idea why he would want to do this. But he agrees with me that he may not be driving for at least 6 months, and that's a lot of money we could be saving if we got rid of the Mercedes.
Ken says he can't move his right leg anymore. He says he could yesterday, but can't today. I asked him if he is telling people, but I'm not sure they understand.
Ken pressed his call button for a pain pill, and the woman came over the speaker and asked what he needed, and Ken said, clear as a bell, "Pill please" and she came back with, "Umm, what do you want?" Well, I kinda lost it. The station is all of 8 feet from Ken's door, and I stuck my head out and shouted, "He can't speak! Why don't you know that yet?" Yea, real mature, I know. I apologized to her a little later, and she said she understood and forgave me. I hate it when I do that.
The speech therapist apparently has asked that someone sit in with Ken during his speech sessions, so Helen volunteered and will be with him from now on for those. I'm not sure if the therapist needed help translating what Ken was saying or what. I know how he speaks a lot better, but not there during the day. Kinda sucks.
I've gotten a lot of responses for the Trash Party on Saturday, an I'm really looking forward to it. It is too quiet here, and I am starting to really feel alone, and probably a little sorry for myself. I'm missing everything. By the time I see Ken in the evenings, he has already experienced too much to share, and he is tired. I feel like we're drifting apart and he is forgetting me. **sigh** I guess it's silly, but it crosses my mind every now and again and I hate it.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you feel discouraged; I understand that feeling but I know this will make you even stronger and will bring you and Ken even closer! Just keep in mind to save up all that love you have building up and you will be able to pour it out once he is home with you:)I doubt he is forgetting you so you get that silly thought outta your head! How could he? :)
All my love!
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:1-5
