Secrets

It's that time of year isn't it? When it's ok to keep secrets? Well today I kept one as long as I could, and it was for a really good reason. You see right before Josh left the ICU he had to have an MRI, he didn't know what was going on, he was awake but in a bit of a dream like state. He said he felt like they were putting him in a hole in the wall and they kept chiseling at it to make him fit. It took me awhile to figure out he was talking about the MRI, he was still a little out of it when he first started talking about it. So when the neurologist ordered another one for his brain, he was not very happy. I scheduled it when he wasn't with me and I just kept it to myself knowing how he felt about it. So today we went to his work Christmas lunch which was really nice, I felt a little bad because I was the only non-employee there. Anyway he had some really nice visits with some friends and in the meantime I was watching the clock and had to tell him once it got to be about twenty minutes until his appointment. It was probably good I waited, he wasn't happy and he made some fuss about it. I even heard him down the hall after they took him back telling the girl that they shoved him in a hole in the wall the last time! Silly, they really are not that bad, if you are not already traumatized.
Things have been going well, he is still without the wound vac and we will find out in the morning if he can keep it off. We are busy as ever with appointments, most of the time he gets home and crawls right in bed. He is working hard and improving, he is always sore from therapy which is good, it means it is working. We finally got the Christmas tree up, and some decorations out thanks to the kids. I dug it out for them, but they have been happy to help decorate. It is hard to find the time to get done all I want and need to do each day. I am looking forward to having a break after Christmas, for one week we will get to slow down and enjoy friends and family. I am truly grateful for all that I have and for the help and love that we have received. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this year, love to all, Denise
