Meet Bruce, my hubby of 27+ years. For the third time in two months he's back in the hospital fighting a MRSA super bug. Seems the abscess in his thumb has flared up again, even though he was taking antibiotics.
He's been there three days now and more or less resigned to the fact. You'd be right in guessing there's no weaving going on here right now. Though I did manage to take down the Christmas tree at 3 am last night...I couldn't sleep and it was annoying me standing there so 'cheerful'!
So for the first time in 30 years we are apart on New Year's eve. We'd normally be at home sipping something and barely stay awake to see the new year in before going to bed.... but we'd be together.
May I wish you all a happy, healthy 2012!
Susan
Edit New Years Day: They let him go home today and we're hoping third time's a charm!
Thank you everyone for your thoughtful messages!
Susan and Bruce
oh dear....my wishes to you both for a better New Year health wise than the end of it has been.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the bugs haven't been combated yet. I'm sending you both positive energy from way down south.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Maybe you can do-over when he is released.
ReplyDeleteI like Meg's idea. The new year starts when Bruce gets home! Hope that is soon and permanent this time. Warmest wishes to both of you, and to Callie too of course.
ReplyDeleteSeems a simple thing in this day and age to rid oneself of a bug, but they've gotten tougher too. Best wishes and lots of hope that this round will do the job and Bruce will be back home soon. I understand perfectly about that too cheerful tree!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you and Bruce and may the new year smooth out and be wonderful from here on in!
Hi Susan - Sorry to hear Bruce is back in the hospital, my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery are with you and Bruce. Not a great way to start the New Year, though he is where he needs to be to get the medical attention. I hope the hospital stay will be a short one. You look after yourself, it is always stressful for the caregiver. You will be back to weaving soon and a normal routine. All the best to you and Bruce in 2012. Weaverly yours ... Barbara
ReplyDeleteThat $%#! MRSA - it can be so tough to eradicate. My wishes for his speedy return to your loving home and arms.
