I'm in Galway

Got messages on skype that Craig needed me down in Galway so I took the next bus out there which was last Friday evening.  I was starting to get scared.  He was in the HDU (High Dependency Unit) where he was hooked up in the machine, and tube through his nose.

I ended up staying at the hospital that night and slept out in the hallway waiting room.  The next morning quickly looked at a B&B but took the first that was available for 3 days.  Had to dip into the savings.  He was eventually transferred to St Teresas Ward.  When the 3 days were up I told him that I had to leave to go back up to Letterkenny.  He started to get emotional because it meant that he was going to be alone.  I told him that I will dip into savings again to spend another 3 days in the same B&B (Abbey Lodge) so he was relieved about that.

Update on Craig

Craig's in Galway hospital

I tell ya, this has been the longest time that I have been without Craig because he has been in hospital, 13 full weeks this year he has been in there so far.  And now he is in Galway for who knows how long he will be in there for.  I'm getting tired and depressed all the time he is away.  A friend of mine tell me that I should had gone down with him.  Its not that easy when you have to rent a room at the hotel for who knows how long he will be in hospital for, so I have to wait at the house.  If I had the money I would be down there, just can't afford it.  Perhaps whenever he is finished there they could take him home.

He knows that I don't like being alone.  I've been so used to being around him 24/7 for taking care of him that I got used to that and now he's not around I have to live on my own for a while until whenever he gets home.  To be honest, I miss seeing him around.  I'm so tired of seeing him going into the hospital and wish they would just help him and stop pumping him with antibiotics because they will wear off.  I am not sure what will happen after the antibiotics stops working to the person.  All I want is to have his life back and we could do things we used to do.

Another trip to the hospital

Its been a bumpy road so far this year for the both of us.  Craig is landed in the hospital as of a weekend and a half ago.  So I have been going back and forth visiting him every day.  He was having breathing problems again.  After all the tests which coming out clear they did all they could do.  But I did find out that he has slight pneumonia on his upper right lung.

Tomorrow morning he is being transferred to Galway Hospital where there is a better system there and better bigger machines which they don't have here in Letterkenny.

I am concerned on seeing him go down there on his own by ambulance without my presense.  I wish I could go but we just could not afford a hotel room for the duration and we don't know how long he is staying down in Galway.  So I guess I have to wait and see.  All I want is him to be alright and be home. 

Waiting is driving me crazy

Craig is still in hospital going on two weeks tomorrow and its frustrating because I can't do anything.  I feel hopeless and I can't make things better on him.  All i could do is take trips back and forth on visiting hours to see him and its burning out my wallet with cab rides.  He knows this too. It wasn't too bad going down there because I walked and it was a nice day out and everything was down hill to Letterkenny Hospital. 

They found out he has a swelling in the back of his eye or something which causing him to have burry vision.  Also they found lung infection.  So he will be in the hospital until the end of the week.  So now they could do something to work on getting him better.   Hopefully he will be out by the end of next week.

He had gone down to Galway on Tuesday and he had panic attack down there because they couldn't find his name in the computer and was strapped down and he was getting hot and sweaty and couldn't breathe and went into panic mode while the ambulance crew went on their lunch break.  But glad he is home safely as I was worried about him being down there.

Can't wait until he gets back home again.
