I hope he feels better soon. Must be crazy at home atm for you all, especially you! Wow. Rest up and sending love and best wishes. I’m new to watching your channel and so far I’m enjoying your content. Lots of love from Debbie in Bristol uk xx
Put his meds in a easy open pill container like 7-Day week one. That way he can do that simple task his self. Just stuff like that would probably help a lot. Good luck on the healing Journey though❤ a broken arm I'm sure it's very tough to deal with, especially if it's your dominant one
Exactly. Or open up the bottles and put them on a high shelf in a cabinet. Toddlers wouldn't be able to reach. Better than waking her up in the middle of the night all the time just to take a pill.
It’s always people not in a relationship or can’t/ not interested in being in a fully committed relationship with kids and married that has something to say 😂 what work for you may not work for other people. And what you deem as wrong may not be deemed as wrong in someone’s else relationship.
A couple months ago I had surgery on my R. foot. This makes perfect sense to me. I still sit/lay on the recliner with my foot up, to keep the swelling down...
That had happened to me on my left ankle when I broke it in early March 2012 from a car accident. My left leg was in a splint cast for 2 weeks. I was in a fiberglass cast for 4 weeks. The boot cast for a little bit over 2 months. I was wearing the boot cast off and on during July 2012. I know what is liked to have a broken bone.
Here are my tips and tricks, for medical issues, when at home. -For medication, get arthritis caps. If he is taking over the counter medication, most child proof caps pop off. Ask your local pharmacy, it takes less than 30 seconds. -Because of your young children, keep all his medications away from them obviously. The belt bag/fanny pack he’s, currently using is great. - Showering. You can buy a cast cover. However, if this is short term, meaning less than 6-8 weeks, here is what I have done. Take a cotton tea towel, tuck the top edges into the cast edge. Then take a bigger towel, like a hand towel, for the second layer. Repeat the towel process, with smaller towels, around the hand opening. After that, wrap the entire thing with AT LEAST Two(2️⃣) layer of Glad’s Press & Seal. There should be 1.5-2” over hang, on both the hand and upper at part. DO NOT use cling film. Make sure the skin around the openings are clean and dry. The take waterproof(it’s never really waterproof, but its better than nothing) medical tape, and wrap around the edges, with at least two wraps of tape, per side. Before getting in the shower, make sure nothing is too loose or too tight. Avoid as direct water contact, as possible. For quick showers, with help from someone and a hand shower, the towels or Press & Seal can be used without any thing else, but be very careful. -If medications are frequently forgotten, and keeping pain control is hard, set alarms or reminders. If the IPhone is your phone of choice, adding your medication, even temporarily, can help with trying to get proper medications, if needed. I have a chronic illness, that leaves me in astronomical amounts of pain, and even though I have been taking pain medications, of some sort, for over a decade, I use this method. The reminds allow a reminder, to encourage me to take a small break, assess pain, and see if I need more medication. Without reminders, there have been times where I would’ve been in more pain later, because I didn’t have something to grab my focus, and remind myself to check in. -If he is on narcotic pain medications, make sure he’s being super careful. Driving is not recommended, for many medications. If he has a friend, that lives and works near your husband, they could ride together. Or if he can’t drive, on those medications, you could pick him up, worst case scenario. -When I am injured, like this, I have a new medical device inserted, like a PICC line or Port, or just had surgery, if I am going to be around children, especially toddler age, I tell them I have an “ouchie”, and ask them to be careful. I am not around very many children, but I do remind them, if I see them, again. It’s not to be mean, not am I saying that they are going to hurt anyone. Sometimes reminding them can keep the healing process on track, and not needing to add more time. Weird things can happen, and a tug or jerk, could cause the break to get worse. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. -His cast will start to smell, depending on time required in it, and once the smell sets in, I have a few ways to combat the smells. One, use a wet wipe or damp cloth, gently wipe the first bit of skin, making sure the cloth isn’t in too deep. For combatting smells, something like spritzing a bit of cologne or perfume, on the cast material, where the soft lining meets the hard surface. This can, also, be done using essential oils or deodorant. M - if he is needing a bit of extra softness, on the outside of the cast, because it’s scratching the furniture, or the kids keep scraping or banging into his cast, get some socks, new or used doesn’t matter, and wrap it around the cast, making sure it’s not too tight. This will make the cast softer, and less likely to scratch or mar something, or someone. -Last, and this is more fun for the kids, the day or two before the cast removal, let them draw and make pictures. During the time, while in the cast, it might be problematic to have decorated the casts. However, if it’s done right before the cast removal, the kids can have fun, and have positivity associated with casts, which would make them less scared, if something were to happen to them. I hope these help, and he has a speedy recovery’s!
Oooh my goodness my heart goes out to you & your family in this time girl ❤ my husband had a patella tendon rupture 2 days before our wedding ! 😅 it needed emergency surgery & took a 6 month recovery. Not to mention I had our first child, prematurely, during this time 😂
@@crystald3655 Yes of course, and I’m sure that any normal person knows that, depending on their situation and the age of their children, toddlers usually don’t get up in the middle of the night and climb up on a container, I’m going by how my kids were, and I’m pretty sure most people are aware enough to make their decisions based off of what they know about their own children
Wow, you’re doing things a good spouse should do in this situation. My wife has cancer, maybe I should make a video to make me feel better about myself.
About 6months ago my partner broke both arms at the same time. Emergency surgery on both at the the same time..metal plates & screws in both arms & elbows. I had 2 do EVERYTHING!! Wash him.. feed him..everything except wipe his butt! I don't know how he managed it but he did..2 save be the torture of having 2 do that!😅😂
It will take about the time he gets his cast on before he will start to feel better. Then it will take a little bit longer probably about another 2 to 4 weeks. For him to really start feeling better.
What happened to his arm how did he break it if you don’t mind me asking I’m not sure if you already have a video explaining it but I have not seen it so if someone could direct me to the video of there is one please
I always thought that was weird too so my son broke his wrist and four different places the rest is made of tiny tiny little bones after a dirt bike accident and he had like a soft splint cast kind of like your husband for like the first two weeks or 3 weeks then they take him back to the hospital and then apply the hard cast I always thought that was weird like why wait so long but I'm sure there is a good reason of course
To be honest I'm kind of shocked that the pharmacy didn't give you AKA your husband easy open bottles for his medication seen as he has a broken arm and he's healing (of course I understand you guys have little ones and God forbid somehow the pill bottle ends up on the floor totally understand)
All she has to do is turn the lid over. It’s a reversible lid. If she flips them over, they’re no longer childproof and open so easy. She has the tools just isn’t using them. Lol
Why didnt you just leave a dose for him to take in the middle of the night so he wont bother you?? Just leave them in the cup on the counter. You dont have tobbe your husbands maid....you need rest, too.

Not with toddlers around…
not with toddlers 😬
@@Ama.921they can put them up out of the toddlers reach.
Exactly. Or open up the bottles and put them on a high shelf in a cabinet. Toddlers wouldn't be able to reach. Better than waking her up in the middle of the night all the time just to take a pill.

I would set up pain meds in the cabinet for him to grab so he doesn’t have to wake you up… just an idea
He can’t open them up with one hand prob
What if she puts the meds in a small cup and a cup of water?

Tip and trick… use your inner thighs to hold the medicine bottle and then use your good hand to push down and twist cap off 👌✨
Or just set a dose of medication out on the counter ready to go, so he can get it himself, that’s what my husband did for me when I had a hysterectomy
@@Im-From-the-starswith toddlers climbing everywhere ? You don’t do that with kids period .
@@nextdoornikkixoxo9806
It’s for the middle of the night, calm down 😆
@@Im-From-the-starsThe kids could wake up and get to it on the counter. If it's in a cabinet out reach of them that's usually better.

He couldn’t wrap his arm anymore after he broke it? Why did he wrap it to begin with?
It's only a broken arm I lost two fingers to a saw and was back to work in two days
LORD have mercy.....
i just broke my arm yesterday
Just so you know there are cast sleeves on Amazon for 20 bucks
We ended up finding out and buying one a week in 😌 thanks for the heads up tho
I just held my arm up like super man . Worked all good 👍
Oh ya, he is enjoying those meds. Be careful, they'll take EVERYTHING from you.
Just place pain meds near him in the same cup u did and an open/ loosened top water bottle near him😊😊 he shouldn’t have to wake u for that😮
What is his job
