Hello all my dear friends.
What a week. What huge fights. So much frustration. So much stress.
So the week started off well. We had a wheelchair delievered as his legs and balance are so bad. But surprise, surprise he refuses to get into it.. Still insists that he can walk down the stairs to the garage.. yup, you see where this is going..
So, my niece is getting married tomorrow and I am in the wedding...the bridal party was going for pedicures on Wednesday. I had arranged for his good friend to come and stay with him for 2 hours. I had filled her in on lis weakness and loss of balance.
So I leave.. and he starts to rage at her about how he does not need a babysitter, that she should just go. He gets up, walk into the garage and tries to put his beer in the holder, drops it, gets really angry then and proceeds to kick the beer bottle, smashing it everywhere and the losing his balance and falling on his head on the cement floor. I had been gone for 17 minutes when I get the call that he fell and there is A LOT of blood. ... long story short (and let me tell you it is a long story.. he was such an ass in the hospital ending in me telling him that if he left the hospital without being seen by a dr that I would not be going home to care for him) So a number of stitches later, a concussion but no skull fracture or bleeding on the brain we got home.
He then tells me that we should have left him to die on the garage floor.. that 'See, no one can stop my fall so I can be home alone as no one can do anything to stop a fall'. He honestly is using that as leverage for the argument for staying home alone... AHHH
So, we fight for 2 days about me needing to be at the wedding this weekend without having to worry about him falling and he just does not get it. But I said that his brother and friend would be here whether he liked it or not...
He is angry. I am beyond frustrated and I am going to the rehearal today and the wedding tomorrow and I am going to do my damnest to enjoy it and not worry.
If you are still with me after that long rant, I love you....
Hope you all have a great weekend.
