My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

Well, my brother was taken out of the ICU an hour ago. They took a little extra time to help him recover and manage the pain better. He is somewhat alert due to meds, but is said to be in good spirit. When I visited him on Sunday, there were all kinds of signs he wasn't on top of his game. He wouldn't respond to his name a couple times. Even when I gently touched him to give him another way to sense that I wanted his attention, he didn't stop cutting his meat on his plate. It wasn't until his daughter raised her voice quite a bit, that he came back to us and responded. I knew then, we had a hard road ahead. When we parted ways, he almost broke down in tears, which told me volumes about how he was truly feeling. And he so appreciated me telling him I loved him, which we didn't do near often enough in recent years. Now, that one time, spoke volumes and left me with many regrets.

Anyways, step 1 is done. Now we wait to see if he remains in hospital until the results of the tissue samples come back. Frankly, I hope they do keep him in. As it is, he is in a wheel chair for his own safety. I dread to think what might happen if he returned home to so many different stair cases to navigate for him. What if he tunes out while going up or down the stairs and collapses. His potential for harm is sooooo great! 

Signing off for now,

A deeply concerned Brother.
