Roger was dehydrated earlier this week and had to have some fluids delivered by IV. Between the Bone Marrow Transplant clinic, the pharmacy, and the Home Health company, that simple prescription became much more complicated than it needed to be. To make a long story short, we had a couple of stressful days that started too early and ended too late. Oh, and I should mention that after we finally got Roger's IV connected at midnight (14 hours late), a fire alarm in our apartment building went off. That added another hour of heart pounding excitement. We didn't have to evacuate, but I spent from midnight until 1am waiting for the all clear from the fire department and planning how I would manage to get Roger and his IV pole out of the building without contaminating either. All that drama was followed by a brief, unrestful sleep and a descent into self pity the next day.
I had been sleeping in the spare bedroom since Roger's discharge and waking several times at night to go in and check on him. Last night, I was so tired and depressed. I crawled into bed with him for the first time in 7 weeks. We both fell asleep right away and slept straight through for 10 hours. And we both have a much better attitude today. It's amazing what a good night's sleep will do.

This is another example of how the energies you share are stronger and more healthy when aligned toward a shared goal...whether that goal is to get a good night's sleep or to permanently and effectively fight the Bone Marrow Boogie.
ReplyDeleteThat brought a little moisture to my eye.
