My Christmas Present My Honey’s Return From The Hospital

December 26, 2009

Yes, My Christmas Present is My Honey’s Return From The Hospital. The love of my life has become critically ill over the last two months. She has spent Thanks Giving Day and most of Christmas in a local medical center here in Tucson. She arrive home yesterday around sunset. This time she returned home with an oxygen tank in tow. She will also need regular blood transfusions.

To say this is a dramatic change in our lives would be an understatement. She is tired ans weary from her hospital stays but in remarkably good spirits otherwise. These changes have been difficult on both of us. It certainly places additional responsibilities on me. I am a worker bee by nature so adjusting will be a challenge but certainly very doable.

Because of Geri’s illness she can not safely drive or tolerate bright sunlight. So it will be my job to run the errands and do the shopping. Which are things that I do not mind doing at all. It is just going to be more difficult to balance the needs at home and work. Since I work from home this with be a very challenging task as I am easily distracted.

Having said all of that, I am extremely grateful to be here for her. My love for Geraldine is boundless. We will be exploring whether she is a candidate for a liver transplant. Yes, her illness is that extreme. She is in her early 50 so a transplant could add decades to her life. She we have entered a stage where we are discussing ways to extend life. That freaks me out when I think about the implications here. I will be exploring if I am a physical match for giving her part of my liver. I would do it without hesitation.

It’s at times like this when love is more than an easily spoken word. This is where the rubber meets the road. I am a very emotional male. Sometimes I think I cry to easily, but it is what it is. I tried so hard not to break down in front of her at the hospital but I was not always successful. I have often found myself curled into a fetal position weeping and sobbing in grief over the last two months. I have sometimes, in the past,  said that I hope I would be like my dad and be the first to go. Now, that seems so selfish and shallow.

Now, unto a brighter point, I am very grateful that we live in the state of Arizona. The state has been on the forefront of providing health care. So it is likely that Geri’s medical expenses will be covered. If we lived in another state the medical bills would overwhelm us and would make life unbearable. But getting medical attention while our paperwork gets processed is still via the emergency room. We were told yesterday at the hospital that we qualified. We were sent home with oxygen supplies which usually indicates that she has been covered, but we have not gotten this confirmed in writing.

Hopefully, this will be taken care off  when I go to fulfill her prescriptions later today.

I have for the most part been able to keep this blog strictly business related but with all that is going on I decided to allow our readers into our lives on a more personal level. That came back to bite me sorta when a heart felt post on our health struggles was spammed. It was an India based link builder representing a England based SEO provider. I became livid, after all the post was about our life and death struggles. I found this to be an extremely repulsive action. There are over 300 other posts that could have been used but they lazy bastard went for the first post available.

I have blacklisted the email associated with that comment. Spam is a reality that we all live with I know… but it just got to me. At that point I didn’t know if my honey would ever return home again. I emailed the company to express my anger, but of course they never replied.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank those wonderful people who have left wonderful comments of encouragement. They really are appreciated.

Thanks so very much,

Urban and Geri
