Hi Grit,
Don't know when you'll be able to see this and catch word that your fellow byc friends are pulling for you and your husband.

I know from my last hospital stay in jan. and feb. that pneumonia can put strain on the heart and especially having there probably an underlying issue as it was.... his job is most likely stressful and probably isn't in the best of health.... But I am hear to tell you and him there is life after this. He's probably feeling weak now as he should be. I hope the damage done was limited and he can be on
his way in a matter of a few weeks and start cardiac rehab and after a month or two of that he should feel a difference. A word of advice from me is if he's extremely fatigued after 2-3 months and his muscles and joints ache more than usual.... tell the dr. and get some meds changed... it can make ALL the difference...and be persistent. If you have reservations about his care and the dr.---get a second opinion and move on. You are your own advocate. Take care and remember.... you both will get through this and allow help from others. If your step dd is not helping be blunt and tell her and say what it is what you really need. example, "dd I need you to bring water to the chickens, collect the eggs, and run to the store and get your dad some ginger ale. and tomorrow I'll need help with vacuuming and a ride to pick up some prescriptions."

This is a wake up call you realize? This means a change of lifestyle---eating and some kind of exercise no matter how busy you are and how much your body aches... you have to do something.... a recumbent bike or something... pools are great too... less stress on the joints. And reducing your stress loads. Sit down and have a pow wow with each other and then the family and say this is what we have to focus on and this is what will happen. DD will realize dad's not always going to be there to bail her out so this is a wake up call for her as well.

You can do this. This doesn't have to be looked at as a bad thing. It was going to happen so now live and learn from it, right? This opens the door to the talk you and your family needed to have. I think it will reduce the stress once you both realize.... you two are old---ha ha ha ha ha--sooo kidding--- but on the serious side, you both need to look out for yourselves and your futures--- retirement... wills.... what should happen if either of you needs more medical attention or to be put in a nursing home.... and realize these GROWN kids are going to be ok and they need to learn how to get by on their own--and they will learn should you cut the cord. Doesn't mean you don't love em or care for em... it's the opposite... it's because you love and care about them. And you have to tend to your own needs right now. It will be ok.

I really hope and pray that all things are on the mend and that you've just been busy and getting your rest when you can. We at byc are here for your emotional support. We love your wit and humor. Take good care of yourself and that hubby of yours. In Jesus' name we pray for health to return and strength to get there. Amen.

hugs and most humbly written,
your friend,
gretch
