We received a Hoyer lift through the MS Society. Hubby has been hesitant to transfer to the shower chair with it until today.
We did very well. Hubby had his first real shower in more than 18 months. The first thing he wanted scrubbed was his hair. The hot water did not exacerbate his condition. He’s been talking about that shower all day long. It beats the sponge baths. I am so happy for him.
We also heard from the Victim’s Advocate. The suspect in our case will be in court on a felony charge against another family soon. The suspect will have a court proceeding in our case on Oct 20, 2023. I suppose that is when they will decide if there will be a plea deal or if a trial date will be scheduled.
IF this goes to trial in our case, I can have the victim’s advocate with me. I may also take my husband or pastor along. It’s a small court room.
With counseling, I am much better. I am less anxious. I am less terrified. I have not had a nightmare in several days. I am still angry and I would like some answers. He was not armed when he was arrested.
I will choose to live my life being careful, but not captive to fear. I want this done. If convicted, I hope he gets the maximum sentences available under the laws of this state.
