It's All Relative

The other morning I was a little overwhelmed and shedding a few tears about feeling like I have to be here, there and everywhere all at the same time.  While crying and talking with a dear friend, I said, "I have no business crying, things could be so much worse."  My wise, wise friend said, "Things can always be worse.  And just because you know that, does not diminish something being hard for you right now."

It made me feel lots better.

Still, I really have no room to complain, when I have three close friends whose husbands are in far worse physical health situations.  We have been blessed with great friends, great family and loving phone calls, texts and thoughts of love and prayers.   Mike has a long road ahead still following such a major surgery, but we'll just take it one day at a time.

And...if
He can keep his oxygen levels up on his own today, and quit throwing up from pain meds, he may just be able to come home today!  It's been a looonnnggg week.
Fingers crossed...

    Thank goodness he came home! That top picture of Mike is something people don't ever see. Him not happy, you can see the pain. Ahhh not fun for either of you.

    I have been thinking of you both this week. The picture with the kids just about made me cry. Love you.

    Dear Tiffany, I so agree with the advice of your friend. That is a hard thing to go through, but hopefully it will help him be out of pain in the future. I love the picture of the kids around his bed. I'm thinking of you and your family!

    I saw that you were alone on Sunday, and I didn't even talk with you. I didn't know Mike was going into the hospital. I hope things are going better for him. Can I help in any way?
