@gaylea1 @rosemarya I was told there were strict limits on visitors when I would be in ICU so I told both my son and daughter not to bother visiting and I was glad I did. I was so exhausted that I often even tried to get my husband to leave but he would stay for a long time even when I was sleeping. I wanted him to get out of there because it’s over an hour drive home, he would not stay in a hotel, and I was afraid of him nodding off on the drive home. He did finally get to the point where he didn’t come until late morning.

@contentandwell My children didn't leave my bedside for 3 weeks when I went into my first HE episode that almost killed me. They slept on a cot beside me and took turns watching me so that I wouldn't be alone. They hold my Power of Attorney for personal care and had every doctor and nurse explain what and why procedures were done. I was in no condition to understand anything going on. When I was released from hospital my daughter took me to her house for 4 months as I started to walk and eat again. They talk to me every day and keep tabs on me. I can't imagine waking up without them there. They have put aside time from work to be with me post surgery leaving their jobs and homes. I will forever be grateful to them. They are my gems.
