Today, April 8, 2021 is the big day for Greg Morgan. He is to see his urologist @8:15 a.m. to have a bladder test.
The doctor or his nurse will remove the catheter to Greg's bladder. He will be required to drink lots of water. They will test to see if his bladder has awakened. He will have to go back in the afternoon to see if he passed urine without the catheter. If so, and we pray it will be so, he will be free from the catheter and foley bag. I believe Greg will be a new man to be relieved of the catheter foley.
We ask your prayers for Greg. Only God can heal him. Nothing is impossible with our God.
Greg's lengthy stay in the hospital, 9 weeks and 3 days, along with infection that got to his brain, has taken a toll on him. His memory is not good. Although he is highly intelligent, he is unable to do routine daily requirements without assistance. He can still play the piano and that is amazing.
I have had to hire home health care givers to come to our home in the mornings and afternoons at extra personal expense to take care of Greg's needs. I am not able to take care of Greg. Our meals are being prepared for us, although Greg and I can prepare our breakfast meals.
We are grateful to June Butler and her husband, Wayne, for their constant care for us. June is working with us on the schedule for our care givers, drivers to take us to doctor's appointments, etc. Greg was able to get his second vaccine shot on Monday, April 5, at the Publix Pharmacy in Winder. June got that scheduled for us. So, both of us have had both vaccine shots.
June Butler has helped Greg to file for Social Security disability and Medicaid. Greg is not able to work. He has no income, no health insurance, lost his driver's license and billfold, etc. We want to sell his 2012 Ford Focus Sel. He does not drive it. We only need one car.
I want to get my house ready to sell. Eventually, I feel I should go into assisted living. I plan to pass the torch of editorship to the person whom God has chosen to be the editor of Hugh's News. This is my 24th year of producing this newsletter. I enjoy doing it. Reading and writing, along with corresponding to people keeps my mind alert. But the time will come when I need to give it up.
I no longer drive my car. That was my choice. Whenever I go anywhere I get others to drive me. I never thought I would come to this. My friends are dying who are my age and even younger. I am 88. My father, Hugh Henry Morgan, lived to be 94. His mind was sharp, and he could read the Bible, the newspaper, etc. He was a fantastic story teller not only of Bible stories, but his own life stories. He had been a wild-west cowboy. He was born in Denison, TX, December 12, 1884. His father was an immigrant from Wales. His mother was Dutch. They were cattle ranchers.
