thanks Kristen!

He got up super early this morning so the IV hydration must have made a huge difference. Me, I got too little sleep because of his early rising! I"m exhausted but meeting a friend for coffee this afternoon and get my tire fixed. These little annoyances seem like mountains when you are already climbing another mountain.

I listen to a religious radio station on the drives. It's soothing to me as long as they don't chatter too much.

He can barely talk at this point but has never been one to talk much. I will continue to let the nurses nag him as I'm catching myself overly irritated with him this week due to my tiredness.

We got a letter stating he has disability until October 18th. His first paycheck gets deposited on Friday. Still a little nervous about income and how much will be coming in the next few months. His place of employment is trying to incorporate his vacation time (still had 4 weeks) with disability so hoping for regular pay through this.
