My wife is in the hospital. Medical issue led to an infection. Had surgery. Now she's stuck there until the infection clears. Another surgery coming in a couple weeks.
Our anniversary was yesterday. She spent it in a hospital bed instead of at dinner with me. That's not how it was supposed to go.
I'm holding up okay. Trying to anyway. The hard part is not being able to be there with her 24/7. I have to stay home and take care of the dogs and keep the house running. I rely on others for transportation so I can't just go see her whenever I want. And honestly she needs rest and doesn't want me hovering. I get it. Doesn't make it easier.
You want to be there. You want to do something. But there's nothing to do except wait and trust the people taking care of her. That's not a comfortable place to be.
Got her a real rose dipped in 24kt gold for our anniversary. Pictured above. Not the same as a nice dinner but it's something that'll last. Not like real flowers, which wilt and die. At least that what she says.
She's tough. Tougher than me probably. In fact, I think she is. She'll get through this. We'll get through this. But right now it just fucking sucks and I'm not going to pretend it doesn't.
We'll do the anniversary dinner when she's home. It'll mean more then anyway.
Sorry for the verbal vomit, just had to vent.
Thanks for reading,
Joe
