Thank you Kathetine:
I have questions to ask but firstly, I'm using my cell and I opened my safari browser and " somehow" found you!
I don't know how to save this place and pages to find again to keep up.
I'm not very smart on smart phone.
Long night for hubby. Btw, his name is George. I went to bed at midnight once I knew he was ok, numbers were good and he was relaxed.
By 1 am, he started coughing blood and didn't wake me up. He kept track of the blood, the BP, his O2 sat levels etc until 6 AM this morning when he finally came to bed! He had to use nitro tabs last night too. I told him he PROMISED to get me up if any events started but he said I was so exhausted lately he wanted me to sleep.
I did but I'm putting old rules back in place starting tonight. We go to bed together! That way I can watch him.
Anyway, I do NOT want to lose this place or thread. Any ideas?
Thanks for answers. First time in a long time I don't feel so aloe.

Donna, you are NOT alone!! We are ALL on this Forum here with you on your tough journey. Trust me .. it is true. Do what Colleen has said below .. she is one smart lady. If all else fails just google "MAI/MAC Mayo Clinic" .. it will lead you to our Forum. It is as simple as that .. that I how I found Mayo Clinic in 2011.

I agree about setting up rules .. too frequently my husband "doesn't want to worry me"! Just today he showed me TWO infected toes .. and he has DIABETES!! I could have hit him! How many times have I talked to him about Diabetes and amputations!! These men! You just keep after George! WE are their "first line of defense"! Of course you DO need your rest .. THAT is part of "filling your cup" .. but you need to keep ahead of the curve with his health so keep to the rules! Sending you a hug! Katherine
