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 but with a procedure getting done this afternoon he should improve poor old bugger!
As for Hubby the doc said that his cold sweats have nothing to do with diabeties and has sent him for another blood test but the last one showed nothing.
I am starting to wonder if it is his PTSD as Anthony would say his cup is full actually overflowing?

Oh my I can relate to the old folks not wanting assistance to the toilet... my mother-in-law was the very same. A strong and proud woman. It was exceedingly difficult for her to accept any help, especially of that nature.
The cold sweats could still be influenza I assume, as that often does not show up on blood tests. Or as you say Jen, his PTSD cup overflowing. If it is the latter, all you can do really is give him space to rest and recouperate. That's what we strive to do with Evie.

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 of bed that gets on my nerves and by the time he gets to work I am getting edgy because of the fact I know he is home in bed? Does this make sense?

Hi Jen
If I am reading what you wrote correctly, it sounds like you are perhaps feeling a little resentful that Hubby is staying in bed yet you still have to get up and go to work.
I often have to get up at 5am in the morning and get a lot less sleep than Anthony and some times when I'm tired and crabby I feel a little ripped off about it. I then try and remind myself that in comparison to what he must have to deal with in his head every day my life is pretty good even if it is a few hours less sleep. More importantly to me is that I am at least grateful that he is there an in our bed so once again, if that is the worst I have to put up with then life isn't that bad.
At the same time I think it is also important to note that if Anthony was just being a lazy bum and playing me for a fool by staying in bed I would not be accepting of it.

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 problem with me is that he has gone back to his old self what he was like before I became sick! When I got sick he was very good so he can do it but now as I am getting better I can see him going downhill again!
