Thanks Jods he rang me this morning and said he thinks he has not been great as he just realised he hasnt been taking all his meds properly? He reckons he will come in tomorrow and help we will see? Jen

Well he hit the wall yesterday I am trying to do the business myself but I needed him to come and lift something into the ute for me for a delivery. He dragged himself out of bed about 11am and came in and seemed ok for a bout an hour then when we had done the delivery and came back to the shop...

Thats good Kathy that she is finding comfort in those little things! Jen

Hi Jods yeh I am doing ok a couple of little setbacks health wise but getting better slowly! I havent been able to get together with the girls lately as been busy with the business and with hubbys dad passing away. Hope to get with them next week! I got an email of Martha to tell hubby that...

Good to see that you have settled down in the big smoke Tammy! Jen

He said to me last night that he knows he is cranky but wants me to give him space I have no problem with that he can have as much space as he likes! I said to him that he knows that I am there if he needs to talk or a hug he asked me to leave him alone. Thats his problem he doesnt talk about...

Hi Damiea thanks yeh we sell supplies to the signwriters in the area its a good little business and can be run by one person most of the time sometimes two people have to be here for the lifting. We bought the business thinking it would give hubby something to do and give him back some reason to...

Hi Jods thanks for asking I am not feeling that great today but I have to soldier on as we own a business we have to run and Hubby coudnt or wouldnt get out of bed so I have no choice in the matter! Here we go again! Jen

Well we arrived back home today after going down to the Gold Coast for Hubbys Dads funeral it went ok. Will see how Hubbys goes now we are back at home he is tired all the time but it has been stressful week just I will wait and see how he goes! Jen

I wont be posting for a few days so dont think I have run away I will be back early next week. Jen

Hi I usually post in the Carers Forum. Hubby has all of a sudden started to get cold sweats he is shivering and really cold wearing a jacket but his skin is clammy and hot? We live in the tropics so its not cold weather. He has blood tests that only show that he is diabetic 2 and the Doc said...

Take care Kathy! Jen

Thats ok Nicolette! You dont need to apologise! Yep it is frustrating I often wonder where we will be in the future we have been married 25 years and things are not on the improve we seem to be arguing a lot more than we used to as well over stupid little things? Jen

Gee Veiled that was good reading you seem like you are in a good place at the moment well done! Jen

Hi Nicolette I dont think I resent him being in bed as I know he has issues and has trouble sleeping then has trouble getting out of bed. We have separate rooms as we couldnt sleep in the same bed because of his non sleeping and now since my op my sleeping is terrible as well? I think the...

Hi Veiled thank you for that explanation it gives me something to think about! Jen

Welcome to the forum Sandy you will find it very helpful! Jen

Oh yes Kathy I would love to give him some space lets say over the other side of Australia!!:rofl: It seems to be mainly at work that he is horrible to me and very edgy? I said to him last night that because I am feeling better he can stay at home more often as he really has trouble getting out...

Hi Kathy its hard to know what to do isnt it? As you said get it over and done with in one day but can she handle that? Its going to be difficult for her maybe spread it out over a couple of days and then recover the following week? What is Evies thought on it? Jen

Hi Kathy I hope she is feeling a bit better today! Jen

Thats a hard one my trouble is I like to get things done and we argue a lot because of this. You would think after 25 years of marriage you could talk to someone easily but lately I find myself umming and ahhing as to should I mention something to him it doesnt matter how trivial it could be. It...

Hi Well hubbys Dad isnt as serious as first thought. Poor bugger was in hospital after a fall and was in bed all the time and being a proud and very stubborn man did not want help to go to toilet. They are very shortstaffed and with him putting off going to the toilet complications had set in...

Nicolette it is good to have you on board! The more Carers on here the better. I found when I first joined I was the same a bit shy of what to say but I was welcomed and look forward to reading replies as there is always good advice from other Carers! Jen

Thanks Nicolette he had a blood test yesterday with results back on Friday when we see the specialist they may show something. He has just found out his Dad has become very ill so thats not going to help. He will probably fly down to Brisbane on the weekend to see him. Jen

Thats interesting Nicolette and Kathy but are they cold sweats? He is getting really cold then sweats. He is wearing a jacket again today ( its not cold). He didnt take the tablet this morning that the doc thought may be the problem. How long does it take to get out of the system? I thought...
