Where do I begin? Suddenly life changes and reality takes its toll.
Monday night I took my husband to the hospital. R had severe upper abdominal pain which could have been a heart attack. Over a period of 8 hours in emergency, they determined it wasn’t his heart. An MRI showed stones in his gall bladder and blocking his bile duct. Another discovery, unrelated will be dealt with later.
Surgery happened late that afternoon and problems resulted. On Friday, I took him for a procedure in Charlottetown which was unsuccessful. He is still in hospital.
I’ve had a cold for a week. This past week, I started treatment for a genetic condition which I’ve had my whole life, without my knowledge. At one point, we were both being treated in different parts of the hospital, our daughter running back and forth between us. There are definite disadvantages to being an only child.
Meanwhile we had freezing rain requiring cleats on boots and salt spread around. The next day, we had snow, enough to require shovelling. With our daughter and son-in-law’s help, I managed.
When it rains it pours!
I haven’t watched the news this week because we have enough to deal with. I am focused on our circumstances and thankful for the strength to handle what has happened thus far and I hope, for what lies ahead as well.

Dear Marie, we got the freezing rain and snow here in Montreal as well.
I am so sorry to hear what you and R have been through, dear friend! Thank God your daughter was there and your son-in-law has been helping.
I will be praying for you and R. Sending you much love and many hugs. God be with you and your family.
You've certainly had a lot to deal with and your husband, I hope he'll soon be well and home and hope you'll be alright too.. Sending you love and saying prayers.
Oh Marie, so sorry to read life has taken such a sudden scary turn. This is a lot to process!! Hope the powers that be can mend your hubby, so that you can be together. I will be thinking of you.
