It feels like life has turned into a game of topsy turvy. Life went upside down Feb 16th and I'm just getting some bearings down and get a new routine around my husband and his failing kidneys.

Without writing a book. ....I just wanted to pop in since I know I've been MIA for (wow) a month now. I feel like I've missed so much here and I hate that I can't scrap right now.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!
:)


**ETA_ Post 16 has additional info on my hubby**March 2018

UPDATE*****
DH is doing a lot better, he's acclimating to dialysis as well as can be and has his fistula in place now. He cannot work so we're hoping he will get disability, he has his interview later this month. I'm working full time and we've decided to sell our house and down size. Easier on the budget and on me, since he can no longer help outside with yard work. But now I'm crazy busy with showings and getting stuff ready for that, as well as trying to find an apartment or townhome in our budget and close to my job.
Needless to say, I still haven't scrapped. UGH. ****** 5/6/18

Kiana, my heart goes out to you.
Your situation is in a sense more serious that mine with my husband waiting for a heart procedure to insert a second stent in the main artery of his heart. Looking at him busily working in his workshop you would not know there is something wrong going on inside of him.
Please keep us updated on how your husband is doing. I pray the doctors are able to help him improve in health.
 
Oh, sweetie, I wish I could be there in person and hug you!! It's so hard when someone you love is going through something so hard and there is nothing you can do. Believe me, I KNOW!! The best advise I can give you is what everyone told me when my husband was so ill. And that is---be sure you take care of yourself so you can take care of him. I found an inner strength that I never knew I had, and you will too. Please keep us updated and know we are all here for you with LOTS of hugs!!!

Life sure has a way of throwing us some curve balls occasionally, doesn't it. Sending big hugs to you and any time you need to talk or vent or whatever, we are here for you. Nancy is right, and Bob Marley, when he said - you never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice, even though I know it probably doesn't feel like it in the moment. And please don't forget to take care of yourself, too. I'm sending lots of love and hugs, as well as thoughts and prayers for you both.
 
Big hugs, Kiana! Hang in there. My husband has health issues, too, with his lungs and in the past with his heart, and sometimes it gets pretty hard and scary for me, too. So I totally know what you are going thru. Nancy gave you some super good advice there. And she is also right about the fact that you will find that you have inner strength that you never knew you had. I was blessed with that inner strength in my situation and I know it did not come from me. So, hang in there. Hugs!
 
Sending you hugs... You've got some great advice here to remember to take care of yourself so you can stay strong for your husband. So sorry that he's going through this.
 
You can never have too many hugs so here's another - kidneys are one of those things you barely give a second thought to until they aren't doing their job right so the routine new and annoying though it may be is obviously imprtant to get right and accept even though it's no fun and mucking up your lives. I hope there is time for you to scrap soon at some point as a release and distraction and that you are also taking care of yourself.

oh Kiana, I pray things will settle down for you and you'll be back to doing what you love soon!
sending BIG HUGS to you!

Thank you ladies. I've always been one of those "deal with it on your own" and don't often tell ppl what's up in my life, even family....so thank you for the outpouring of love.

Yes he has great doctors, he's getting dialysis, and we're hoping to get on the kidney transplant list soon. There's been some setbacks in our life before, but this is the biggest. I'm being strong and supportive of him and for my kids. I also am doing the best to take a little time out for myself, but finding it difficult to do long enough to scrap. Popping in here and Facebook is about all I can fit in. ROFL

Thank you again ♥
 
Oh man Kiana! I wish we lived closer so I could give you a real hug & bring you guys something! Much love! :bk
