i've been here a long time and the way we can rally around one another never ceases to amaze me. i had intended to go through and respond to everyone in my previous thread but there were so many replies. i read all the posts and appreciate every one of them. i also greatly appreciate those of you who have messaged me, i will get go through them in more detail when i have a bit more time and energy.
and the update:
we went to his doc today and the prognosis is much better than i could have imagined. doc said his lungs sound good and he could be off the oxygen as early as next week the doomsday scenario came from the hospital but i wasn't there for the discharge conversation because i also came down with something and was home in bed. my husband is uncommunative as they come and hates being asked questions so i should have known to press him a bit more. it didn't even cross my mind to call the hospital.
but that doesn't matter because he's much closer to being better than i could have hoped. however, he is due for an attitude check. he got unacceptably shitty with his mom this morning and is being a turd to me. i know he's sick and scared, but he needs to understand that he can't be like this with us and i asked my dad to have a bit of a chat with him this weekend (they have a really good relationship and husband listens to him).
i'm so tired but feeling better than i have for weeks. i'm sitting on the patio with some and a local enjoying a beautiful spring evening. gods, i love living in colorado.
but, to get back on track, you guys are an awesome bunch

(14,954 posts)Perhaps just mentioning the possibility of a Skittles ass kicking will make him change his Grumpy Cat ways?

(109,028 posts)I'm so glad he's doing better -- physically, anyway!
With you coming down with something yourself no wonder you felt overwhelmed. I hope you have some sick days at work and can take them.
Hang in there.

(24,146 posts)and the antibiotics have done their job. i went to the clinic a day after i started feeling sick rather than trying to beat it on my own because we didn't need me getting as sick as him. i'd been bombarded by germs for weeks (bronchitis swept through work before he got sick) and i wasn't taking any chances but really wasn't surprised that i did get something.
it's slow at work so i'll probably do half days for the rest of the week just to relax and get myself centered.

(9,298 posts)If your spirits were lifted somewhat by the DU messages, I'm doubly pleased, but not really surprised. We come together demonstrably in a crisis time and again. Please stay in touch about your husband's progress, and may Dad work his magic!

You are doing the right thing for yourself, too, fizzgig, sitting outside and enjoying the weather.

P.S. Whether your husband acknowledges this or not (and I don't know the answer to that), he's lucky to have you.
