Ahem.....been way too long aye! I hate to admit this, but I forgot my bloody blogger password and didn't know how to get another one.....I guess if I had asked Erin what it was you just might have heard from me abit earlier lol. You know us men, hate asking for directions and in my case, hate asking for bloody passwords hehehehe.
But I bit the bullet ASKED Erin if she happened to know my password....(duhhhh, she set it up for me) and here I am.
Whats happened since last time: I decided not to go with the peg at this stage, then I got sick (caught a heavy flu) and thought to myself well ain't that just TYPICAL Erin and I had discussed the pro's and the con's but she left the final decision up to me, and I just wasn't ready to have it. Since then, I have been progressively getting less mobile. While I was sick, my arms and legs got a lot weaker and I haven't got the strength back now that I'm feeling better. I can still stand at the toilet, but can no longer get myself up off the toilet seat, so I'm using a commode now, its just so much easier for Erin that way. Have received a big box of external catheters to use at nights, because in this cold weather I'm wanting to GO all the time BUT I haven't wanted to use them, and I haven't used them yet. Erin instead put an electric blanket on my bed, something I've always hated and I slept like a baby, all night long without waking to go to the loo. Then I got sick again, and two of our kids got hit bad with the flu and it all got abit much for Erin who had to ring her mum to come and take the older of the two kids to her place for a few days and she hated having to do that.....but she was running around like a chook without a head from room to room with tissues, and cough medicines and anti-biotics as well as having to go to work. Thank goodness for our older two boys who were home with us when she wasn't. Also thank's to Erins job who are really understanding of our situation and are ultra flexible where Erin's work hours are concerned.
So thats been my exciting life since my last post....lol. I'm still positive, I'm doing ok considering, and all my kids are back to their healthy fighting selves oh and I've put my password somewhere where I can find it.....So, I can't use that excuse again.
Wrap up warm, everyone, its cold out there at the moment, look after yourselves and your loved ones.
