He is still in the hospital, unable to keep much food down and says that now the pain has traveled and radiating into his hip. I will be with him for the majority of the day tomorrow- trying to connect with the doctors and learn more about what is going on.
I haven’t been able to go to see him as much as I would like- our funds are pretty messed up right now mostly due to him losing focus when he is paying bills. He kept telling me he was paying them, and I am sadly finding out that he hasn’t been doing that.
I cringe every time the phone rings and one creditor got quite an earful this morning when she called me at 5:00 a.m.! I flew out of bed expecting the worst and when I found it was a creditor- I friggin lost it.
As far as our finances, It is going to take me at least a week to unravel all this mess. I know now that I should have stepped in sooner to take control of the bills, but it was literally the last thing I thought he could still do. His life revolves around a small corner in the living room and his computer- and has for years now. I didn’t want to take away the last semblance of normalcy until I was sure it was necessary. Sad to say, it is necessary now
To his defense, it is not him. He excels in numbers or used to, but Diabetes takes it all- your whole entire body. Doesn’t care- takes no prisoners- brain, heart, lungs, kidneys- everything is open to becoming a hostage to this horrible disease..Just please keep him in your prayers. He called today and his voice was so weak, I couldn’t even hear him. 🙁
Of course it wasn’t Mike’s fault. He did the best he could, and it was right that you should give him as much normalcy as possible. My thoughts are with the two of you.
All my best to you and to Mike. May he become much better, very soon. I think that, now. I will go and have a little talk with the gods of Karma. Nothing else I have done seems to have worked. By their standards, if anyone, anywhere is due for a good turn, it is you guys.
Keeping Mike and you in our prayers. When I worked in auto loan collections, if a person told us to not call them anymore, we had to respect that and removed them from our dialing lists. Also, there are rules about the times they can call, and I’m thinking 5 am is NOT part of that! So, my point is, push back at the callers.
