I have a new man

All went well with hubby....
1 week in hospital and he came out a new man...
No more staying in bed for days on end ( so far) that is....
It`s all looking positive and the new medication seems to be working in his pain department....
And boy did he put some weight on within that week....
What I have lost he has easily gained which naturally has caused some jealously...lol...
So now he is on a diet...
No more of the good stuff for him which will be interesting to say the least because of his sweet tooth addiction....hahaha
As for home life with the kids Krystal is a single woman these days...
The boyfriend did the dirty on her..I was somewhat worried there for a while as she wasn`t eating but now she has picked herself up mentally and all is well...
I picked up her dress for her up and coming formal...My gosh i`m not biased much but she is going to look like a little princess.....
As for Daniel well that`s a different ball game altogether...
For 2 days now he has flatly refused to attend school...His behaviour is totally irratic and i`m at a loss on which way to turn...
I had to ring the school today and tell them what has been going on and they are going to try and get me some help....
I`m waiting to hear back from them....
Meanwhile I have placed him in his room and having to listen to the abuse that he kindly hurls in my direction....
Hubby is recommending that I take time out for myself now...
He seems to think he will be able to cope for a week from my absence and i`m seriously thinking about taking him up on the offer before I burn out completely....
We`ll see what happens....

Oxycontin Life rulers

Ahhhh stress don`t you just love it....
Life is on the go non stop lately..
If it`s not the kids with school or extra activities it`s hubby with health issues...
I tell you people I feel like a bloody taxi service, head cook and that little fairy that miraculously comes in to clean the inside and outside of the house...lol
I often ask myself the question "Would I have it any other way"???
Hmmmm let`s see..
Some things I would definitely like to change but seems certain elements in my life are out of my control....
One thing that is changing is the medication my husband is taking...
For way too many years now he has been on those dreaded tablets Oxy Contin..
Life rulers I call them...You are so limited as to where you can go and what you can do...
So today is the beginning of a new start...
He is in hospital to have his medication changed...
Naturally he is feeling apprehensive about it all as these tablets are highly addictive so in a way he is loosing his security blanket but is prepared and willing to change....
For the past 10 years or so our life as a family has been put on hold because of these rotten tablets and what makes it worse is that they no longer work for him...
So his doctor and of course hubby have come up with a plan to get rid of this life holding problem starting today...
How did he get to this point you may ask???..
Well a certain doctor had no hope for hubby`s future...He had written him off giving him, tops 8 months to live...
This was when they found the brain tumor, so to make him feel more comfortable he prescribed heavy drugs....
Oh and then there was the small matter of forgetting to tell us that they are highly addictive....
So here we are today 10 years on and going strong in the living department and my husband has to resort to this to try and gain his life back....
He will win as he is strong and he is doing this , one for himself and secondly for his family....
