It feels like all the days blend together, when you live the hospital life! With Bill still being in the ICU, the visitation schedule is two hours on and two hours off, and Im so mixed up. If I repeat something, Im sorry. Today was one day post surgery, and Bill was in a lot of pain. I cant even imagine what it would be like to lose a limb, and Bill was in a medically induced coma the first go round, so, unfortunately, hes having to endure it this time. I did manage to get a few kisses from him, but it was work for him. When Bill started getting sick, a few weeks ago, and we had to admit him back into the hospital, (after hed been doing so good, for so long), I would be lying if I said I didnt ask God why? Today I got my answer, and it was so crazy, that some of you that dont believe in God, may think twice about it. I got to meet the main man today, the big cheese, the head master! The doctor that who gave the ok for Bill to be admitted to BAMC. Weve known for about a month or two that Bill would need a revision on his left leg. Hes even been on a consult in Houston, but I wanted him to go to Brookes! Unfortunately, we werent having any luck, and were told no, he was not a candidate. Fast forward a few weeks, Bill gets sick, etc. When I was talking with the Head Doctor today, I told him how grateful I was that he accepted Bill as a patient. (Through big crocodile tears) He said that he was able to accept Bill as a patient, without having to think twice about it, because he was already hospitalized. Obviously, I dont ever want to see Bill suffer or be in pain, but if he hadnt of gotten sick, well……we could still be at home wishing we could get Bill into Brookes. I think its pretty cool! Since weve been here, everything has come into place perfectly. I have a room on the Campus, which is located in The Fisher House. (Similar to the Ronald McDonald House) Im able to walk to and from his room everyday,. I have been able to meet other people in Bills condition, and Ive met people who are in the same situation as me. But best of all………we are in the best hospital, hands down, than any we have been in before. I have to pinch myself sometimes, because I had no idea that there was a place that would care for my husband the way he has received it here. I can honestly say that I have not been in his room with him, yet, that a handful of doctors dont stop in and check on him. Seriously! Ive never experienced that, and Ive had my fair share of hospital visits in the past 16+ months. When I go to my room at night, I sleep good, because I know hes being treated like a King. (Im not kidding!) This is just the beginning of Bills journey here. Im excited to see how things will unfold. We prayed for this, and we are here. Let the miracles happen in San Antonio!!!
