I have a new focus on things today. I have been so busy, and yet I feel like I am getting nothing accomplished.
My husband changed all that this weekend. Back in November, he suffered a mild heart attack. I have been so thankful that he is okay, and still am! This weekend he had a serious moment. I don't know what other words to use. He got up in the middle of the night, and before he could make it to the bathroom,he passed out. On his way down, he crashed into the closet doors with his head,full force. There was no gracefulness about it. He came down hard. Then I was right there with him, he was still unconscious. Then he slowly came to. I helped get to a sitting position, which I realize now was the wrong thing to do. He passed out again, only this time he stopped breathing. I freaked! I ran out and got my daughter and her friend. They are both C.P.R. certified. She called 911, while I and my daughters friend, tried to get him breathing. I have never been so terrified in all my life. The lack of life in his eyes scared me to death. He finally started to breath again. Paramedics arrived and talked him into going to the hospital. If he had his way, he would not have gone. Turns out he was very dehydrated, lacking potassium in his body, and anemic. I still am so skeptic. That caused all of that?! What a night!
So now I feel I must take control and start looking for options. I need to get a job out side of taking full care of my grand kids. Love them to death, but I need to find a way to get some kind of health insurance. This is just to much to take and not take some kind of action. I keep thinking my husband is going to spring up and make everything better. That's what he always has done. Reality is, he needs help and time to heal. It won't be quick. I need to step up to the plate. So I need to revive my life and his, by taking the reins from him for a while. However long it takes. I love him so much, I can't stand the thought of living a day without him, even if he is different. He has been through so much in the last few years, he is having a difficult time working through them. So as of tomorrow, after I visit all the state aids for help in paying all these bills, I will actively find employment. Even if it's a fast food place. I have no real work experience, except dispatching. There isn't much need for that up here in this small town. But. if single mothers have been doing it for decades, so can I. I can still help my daughter and help my husband. I am praying for strength that only the Lord can give me. So my life verse for the days ahead :
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strengh; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint Isaiah 40:31
I will be hanging on to this verse ever so closely.
