This is probably the hardest post I’ve ever had to write because I need to ask for HELP and I’ve been afraid to ask for help. As some of you may know my husband Anthony had brain surgery in Feb to remove a benign brain tumor. Routine surgery turned into complications. My world crashed and I mean crashed. My heart hurt, my love and best friend was on a ventilator and no one knew if he would wake up. I spent two weeks in a recliner next to Anthony’s bed watching him fight for his life. I begged, pleaded and bargained with him to get better. If you get better I’ll make you tacos for a whole month. LOL. I put our pictures up in ICU. After 2 months in Jefferson he moved to rehab. Again I watched. He went from not walking, talking and eating to doing all those things and more. Two months in rehab and he’s home!!! And he’s getting better everyday. God truly is amazing. Here is where I need help. Home health aides (companions) are not covered by insurance. I either need a government agency( I dont qualify) or private agency ($25/hr). I’ve enlisted friends, church members and neighbors to be here during the day at 2hr shifts. But I have gaps in my schedule and I need a few more volunteers. Anthony can take care of his personal needs he just needs help walking and getting up so he doesn’t fall. Someone to keep his mind active while he continues to recover. Play games talk about current events. And he’s going to make a full recovery!!! If you know of anyone that can spend at least two hours a day for a few days a week on a week to week basis PLEASE let me know. I’ve also started a Go Fund Me page so I can hire an agency to fill in any gaps in the schedule.
