My husband truly amazes me. Lowell has been truly blessed with good health. Seldom does he go to the doctor, and seldom does he ever get sick.
However, this past Monday he went in and had a hernia repaired. This was done at the VA hospital here. This for me means that I would be driving at least home from this huge downtown facility. We arrived before 6 a.m.; surgery was scheduled for 7:30 a.m. I come prepared complete with tablet in hand writing down exactly where we parked, what door we entered, and what floor we were on.
As you might imagine, the VA was quite a bit different then the local hospital that I had been in. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, but it turned into a very positive thing. Everyone was considerate, taking their time to help me, even when I was frazzled because I didn’t know “Which” waiting room I was supposed to be at. I am thankful for the wonderful people that took great care of my husband.
Got to tell you though, Lowell came out of the recovery room pushing his wheelchair, and actually walked to the car. Once at home, he had a little realized he needed to rest. I made him lots of AdvoCare Rehydrate which he is still drinking. He wanted to make sure and get the medicine from the surgery out of his system. He also uses OmegaPlex and Spark.
The weather has actually cooled off some so it’s now in the high 70’s low 80’s which makes reading outside in the fresh air perfect.
And so rested, read, and relax he has been doing. But he also is still helping out around here. He has to remind himself of what he can and cannot do.
We were reminded through this how important it is for us to take care of our bodies “Now” while we are able to.
Take care,
Till next time
Terri
