Blog: Dear Bruce

Dear Bruce,

Dear Bruce,

You are always wanting me to blog so I pledge to you that I will blog every day this year. It may be short and complete nonsense but for you I will follow through.

Yesterday you had a stroke. You are in ICU right now. This is the two hour period where the nurses change and they kick me out. I don't think you will remember much of this which is probably good. Truthfully, I hope I'm able to forget some of it.

Everyone has been wonderful. So many prayers and calls. And your nurse, Stephen, last night was wonderful. I actually was able to get a decent amount of sleep in the chair. According to fitbit, it was 2 hours and 25 minutes but I'm not trusting it because it says I've done 26 floors today and it is only 7:15 a.m. lol maybe the 4.2 earthquake this morning affected it.

There is only one other person in the waiting room. I wonder where the other patients' family and friends are. I'm not judging, just curious.

I hope someone brings me a toothbrush and hairbrush today. Not that I want to look fabulous or anything but I have a kind of Medusa thing going on here. One of those times when you glance in the mirror and scare yourself.

Bruce, I love you more than I know how to express. I need you to fight, sweetheart...for both of us. We have so much more to experience. We just talked about this the other day. Don't leave me, please sweetheart, please.

Well, its time to start texting and calling people to update them on how you are doing.

Hey, I had to use a five dollar bill for the vending machine. No one was around to change it out. Grrrrr. I wonder how many $5.00 bills we have saved up for our Montana trip. I bet it is close to $600.

I love you,
Audra
