LOVED ONES IN HOSPITAL

WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS IN HOSPITAL, YOU HAVE TO BE THERE DAY AND NIGHT. I KNOW. MY HUSBAND WAS SHARP AS A TACK, BUT HE WAS IN HIS 80's AND FRAIL.

 

I SPENT MONTHS AT A TIME OVER THE YEARS BY CLIFF'S BEDSIDE IN HOSPITAL. I WASHED MY UNDIES IN THE SINK THERE. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHING.

 

I WENT HOME ONLY TO WASH UP AND I RUSHED BACK. A KIND NEIGHBOUR CARED FOR MY CAT AND LENT ME A GARDEN CHAIR TO SLEEP ON. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED "EGG CRATE" - PLASTIC FOAM - FOR MY MATTRESS.

 

NO MATTER WHO PROTESTED ABOUT RULES AND FORM, I WOULD NOT LEAVE HIM, EVEN THOUGH, AT TIMES, I WAS SO EXHAUSTED THAT I COULD HARDLY WAKE UP TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND STAFF CAME IN TO HELP.

 

CLIFF LIVED UNTIL A FEW DAYS SHORT OF HIS 90th BIRTHDAY.

 

WHEN YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE, YOU MUST BE THERE IN THE TOUGH TIMES TOO. I REVELED IN THE GOOD TIMES. THERE WAS NO WAY I WOULD LEAVE HIM.
