I am in need of some community to vent and learn from other wives who are going through this. I am on wordpress, is there any way I can follow by email?<br /><br />KelseyKelseyhttp://securedbyfaith.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-5744408054872789332011-02-12T15:20:41.240-05:002011-02-12T15:20:41.240-05:00Sorry, my name is Ellie...should have said that. ...Sorry, my name is Ellie...should have said that. You cannot know how much having someone "out there" helps. We did get an answer to the incontinence. Seems that his last artificial hip (gone thru 3!) has moved and broken a screw and is now into his pelvis. We have to go to a higher medical facility in our state and they are talking about amputating his entire leg, hip and possibly part of the pelvis that has been damaged. It seems that when he lays down, the ball part of the joint pushes his bladder and is wreaking havoc. I do not know what to do. He will be using a wheelchair after the surgery for the rest of his life and our mobile home is too small for him to even get into a bathroom. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get out of a home and into one that will accomodate a wheelchair when your credit has long since collapsed with all of the catastrophes? Funny, I have friends writing to Oprah to ask for help...somehow I don't think that's gonna work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888358937752218564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-66903111567195395692011-02-05T20:38:09.402-05:002011-02-05T20:38:09.402-05:00Elle (I will call you this for short),
Here I am, ...Elle (I will call you this for short),<br />Here I am, commenting on your post that I posted! You have an almost impossible situation to deal with, and I can only imagine how hard it must be. After re-reading your post, I am wondering: Is he getting some kind of disability compensation since he can't work, and would it be possible to get someone to come in (possibly through Medicaid or Medicare, so you would not have to bear the expense?) to be with him so that you can be away for longer periods of time with work, etc.? We are very lucky that my husband gets compensation, and it is just the 2 of us. So far I have been able to work full time, although sometimes that is hard, as I sometimes have to take him to doctor's appointments that are too far away for him to safely drive. Remember this during the tough times: you are a beautiful, strong woman!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-80396342747881514912011-02-05T13:42:49.156-05:002011-02-05T13:42:49.156-05:00ele,
