Seems like an eternity Day to Day Life, Edie
|
It’s been a week now since Edie went into the hospital, and it sure isn’t getting any easier. And even worse, I’ve got at least two more weeks of the same to look forward to.
Having to go to work, grocery shopping, the laundry, making sure Sylvia eats, keeping up with my exercise routine, and visiting Edie in the hospital is starting to take its toll. I’ve never had to do so much for such a long time with no help, and I’m just not sure I’m up for this.
One thing for sure, I’ve certainly developed a new found appreciation for single parents (especially those with small children), and what they have to endure.
Fortunately Edie’s doing pretty good so far, and she is keenly aware of my limitations, so that removes some of the stress of the situation. It’s just not enough.
So if you’d like to help, and have some time, stop in and visit Edie. Despite the fact I had previously indicated visiting wasn’t a good idea, I think Edie would appreciate seeing some other familiar faces, and not have to listen to my whining all the time.

You made it through week one. You can do this! *big grin*
It can be gruelling doing it all alone, I know, but it has to be done.
You could coordinate your exercise routine while doing housework. Work in a dance routine while vacuuming.
I’m just a phone call away if you need me.
