After the flu
George is finally feeling better after getting the stomach flu. I just didn't realize how much more he would be affected than someone who has not had a stroke. It affected his speech and energy level and everything else. It really scared me when he was so sick. Luckily the dr had prescribed Fenagren for me a couple of days before George got sick and I was able to give him some with the DR's ok. He was in Bed from Friday to Sunday and only got up for a little while Sunday. He finally told me that "He never felt so bad". I am so lucky that we have our caregiver, Frankie, who comes 3 days a week. However, she got the bug too and was out sick a couple of days with it also. Last nite we actually sat and talked. It takes him a while to form the words sometimes but he is doing pretty good with it. I think I miss talking more than anything with him. He has such a good sense of humor and he still can crack me up just with his expressions sometimes. It's a sunny warm day here in TN today and George is sitting at the front door looking out at the sunshine as I write. It's a good day.... :
