My poor husband

My husband and I have been through a lot during our marriage with almost every aspect in our life's. He had a quintuple bypass in his 40's developed diabetes which he was never good at staying on track so he has had both legs amputated below knees and now he thinks he has to have more amputation having a hard time convincing him to go to hospital because he knows it is again going to mean amputation and he is worried that he will have to go to assisted living since my breathing prevents me from doing to much. I told him we would work it out.

I'm so sorry to hear all that the both of you have been going through. It must be difficult on the two of you. You're blessed to have each other. I hope your hubby doesn't delay going to the hospital. Doing that could make things worse. I pray for you & for him, that God would give you both peace as you make the tough decisions. Terri

Keep fighting the Good Fight

I hope your husband decides to go get checked out, and I hope everything is okay.

Have you ever looked into getting someone to come in to help you? There are quite a few agencies now that offer services to allow people to stay in their home and still get the help they need (at least that's how they make it sound in the commercials).

I wish you both the best.

Not what you're looking for?
