I got to see my hubby today, and although looking extremely worn out and def sick, he looks so much better than the last time I saw him. He's having problems sleeping because of the noise, so I got him some ear buds and the doctor is giving him some melatonin tonight so I'm hoping that both will work in unison and give him some good zzzzz.
He is def starting to feel better. Slowly but surely. He said he joked with his aide about it being like a prison camp, so he needs to get his strength up so's he can dig a tunnel and escape. That and saying how terrible the food is. Complaining is good, all the more motivation for him to get well.
He def needs some sunshine though, they don't let them outside, they are basically in their rooms most of the time. Methinks some fresh air and sunshine would do him good as well, so I've told him, as soon as he gets out, we'll go by one of our special places, Cedar Falls, one of the lakes, whatever he feels up to, so that he can get some.
I have him well stocked with snacks, sugar free Russell Stover's, pork jerky (it's lower in sodium, believe it or not!), nut mixes, Snap bbq black bean snacks, and an assortment of drink mixes so he can flavour his water. I just want him putting on some weight again and getting his strength back up.
Earlier I batched and froze some PF Chang's Mongolian Beef - the sodium is high if you do it as is (it makes two and a half servings) so I added a pack of frozen mixed peppers and one of diced carrots and peas (both containing 5 servings) and 2 portions of Korean BBQ sauce to it. I divvied it into 5 portions, with rice, and froze 4 ... and had the other for lunch. It was sooo good and the sodium level was so much better!
I also met up with my darlin' Kwacha, masked and anti-bacterialed, to give her some AVON brochures and just catch up on chatting. It had been too long since our last sight of each other, before Christmas.
So, today has been a good day, and I am thankful for it. As Don Moen sings "God is good all the time". I am thankful for all his blessings right now, and answering my prayers for continued improvement for my hubby.
Plus it was glorious and sunshine-y ... who could want for anything more?
