Imagine... if you will, someone you want to communicate with, except he isn’t  able to squeeze your hand or even blink for yes and no.

I look at his monitor and see blood pressure go up( way up. )

I notify the most kindest nurse. Ready to ease and calm my nerves without  an ounce of belittling.

I apologize profusely telling her I’m not sure but I think he is trying to say he’s in pain.

And so the day goes in this way.  I have to say it breaks my heart not knowing what he wants despite his trying.

I can only assure him it’s temporary and soon he will be able to speak for himself.

But I am in charge of speaking for him.  And often I am so lost. I don’t give up, I just realize how important communication is, when you are in a situation like this and don’t know how to interpret...

Please be better soon. We miss you!
