Status on my hubby: They are now treating him with potent blood-thinning medication for a pulmonary embolism, which I thought was caused by a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) breaking loose, but he's had no severe pain usually caused by a DVT. And last night he had an irregular heartbeat, so now they're calling in a cardiologist for consult. I'm very concerned that he won't be released to our home, but will have to go to a skilled nursing facility. I'll do everything in my power to keep him out of a SNF. Keep the prayers coming, please.
Prayers for you both, LuvsWesterns. It is a very difficult time for him, as a patient, and you, as his loving caregiver. Hugs.

Thank you, aknan. I have no words to describe this feeling of uncertainty and loneliness with him in the hospital. I'm sure everyone can empathize. I pray they find out what's going on, are able to stabilize him, and then let him come home.

Dear C4J friends -- my hubby is home! Thanks for your caring responses and many prayers!!
Whoever took this picture of the sponges must have had the camera on ZOOM. I've never seen sponges this BIG. I suppose one could get through house cleaning faster, although I just hate wringing soap out of them. If I had the moolah, I'd hire the Merry Maids!
I see this is classified as a "collection", which reminds me of an old joke heard just before the offering at church decades ago:
A family has fried chicken for dinner, and there's a lot left over. The little boy gathers a plateful of nice, meaty pieces on a plate after the meal and heads for the back door. His dad says, "Didn't you eat enough? Where are you going with all that chicken? "
"Dad, I have to feed Fido."
"Well, don't give him all that good chicken! Here let me help you." Dad proceeds to gather up bones and scraps and skin, and the neck pieces and liver and all like that. "Here son, give this to Fido. He'll enjoy it just as much."
The little boy walks out to the doghouse and says sadly, "Well, pal, I was going to bring you an offering, but all I've got is a collection."
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." ~ Anatole France
As Robert Brault says, "The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude."
"Be the person your dog thinks you are." Unknown
Good night and God bless. Hugs.
