Finding Balance: Our New Days

It’s only been two weeks and a day since a wall fell on my husband. Fifteen days since our lives changed entirely.

No more sending him off to work with his lunch pale in the mornings. No more standing at the door waiting for him to get out of the truck so we can all tell him how much we’ve missed him.

Now its long half slept nights making sure he takes his meds. Now it’s days spent adjusting his leg and putting ice packs on to keep the swelling down. Sponge baths and wheelchair rides instead of walking everywhere.

It’s screams and cries from the pain. Its doctor visits and phone calls and picking up prescriptions.

But

There is more time spent with him. More laughter than in a regular day. More snuggles and hugs for the kiddos than ever before. More time to just sit back and talk.

We have found some light in these trying times.
