Advocate

Good evening! Wednesday blog! I found myself getting very angry today! I have been sitting thinking and crying, thinking and crying! Now, I am angry at myself! My husband Denny Wayne Reed age 76, he is a husband, father, grandfather, great grand father! He was a policeman for 28 yrs., an umpire, a 300 bowler! I consider him wonderful in all of these areas! He should be given the utmost respect, from all who meet him and know him! He does not share in any conversation! Not one person is going to know how wonderful this man is, if they don’t hear it from me! I am tired of standing t and watching everyone think they know better about him than I do! Denny has no voice anymore in any of these medical decisions! I was his voice today and I don’t think I did a very good job! Now I will take on the job of being his voice, his mind, his ears, his sight! Advocacy will be another title! Today I had it way over the top of my head! Life is not fair, we do not get to pick and choose what illness might come our way, it’s devastating! I did not think my heart could be anymore ripped than it was today! But, do not mess with a woman who has always loved him! Caregivers at facilities need compassion classes more than anything else! They chose their job! I am angry, but it has to be a positive anger or nothing will be accomplished! Denny will have good days and then, not so good days! I know that! He should, he deserves to be treated every day with respect, and dignity! Why can’t they see that he is all of those titles to us and so much more! I am turning my tears into determination for Denny and his care! I can roar, if you make me mad enough, where my family is concerned! I just need to breathe! Goodnight and God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
