Hi. Yes it sounds like our husbands would have made good friends. Well, Joe has decided that he no longer wants to take chemo. He will meet with the oncologist on Jan. 23, to see what his options are. He is trying to eat more, and he is doing a little better. He did vomit once last night, but so far today it has not happened. I did not give him any nausea pills because I forgot and he didnt ask for them, so I never mentioned it. I just bought him two new pairs of joggers, size medium and they are just hanging on him. I guess I will return them and get a small. I had also ordered two chemo shirts that have top flaps that open for easy access to the port. Guess I will be sending them back also. Today he wanted shrimp scampi over rice. I only had long grain and I guess I did not cook it to his satifaction because he yelled and said why don't you must buy minute rice? Was mad because I burnt the first batch and he had to wait another 20 minutes to eat. I wanted to say-screw you. But I didn't. I had set the table but he came into the kitchen, grabbed a plate, put a litte food on it and went back to the living room. He sits in the living room in his recliner and he wants something, he yells my name. He is so picky. Usually, it is, get me some pepsi with 1 ice cube and half glass. I accidently put 2 ice cubes into it yesterday and he complained. He just told me that when he yells my name, I am just to automatically go in and see what he needs. I saluted him. Yes, I am being a smart ass, but he seems to be getting ruder and more demanding. I also have xanax, and start using them more than I have been. I don't want to be mean to him, but my nerves are growing thin. I won't sit in the living room with him because he controls the tv and always watches american pickers and pawn stars -24/7. So I sit in the dining room where I have my computer and watch youtube videos, etc. But this is nothing new. Last night, I did watch a movie with him. He has not been a pleasant man to be around. He is smart and won't let me forget it. He is the type of person who answers your questions with a question of his own. I am 69 and should do what you do. Start working out before summer gets here because I have gained some weight. I weigh 156 and would like to be 145. LOL I have weighed around 156 for a year now. You can tell that I have not used my walking tapes or my weight lifting tapes. I only ever lifted 2,5,and 8 pounds. One time I was lifting 5,8 and 10. Guess I have been depressed and don't feel like doing anything. OK, enough of my venting. We have boost but he won't drink it. So, I do. Last week I ordered ginger and peppermint tea because I read that it helps settle the stomach. I told him about that and he said I DON'T LIIKE TEA! So, luckily for me, I do drink hot tea so I guess I will be drinking the tea, too. I suggested a feeding tube and he said, NO. I am tired of fighting with him. Can your husband still drive or go to the store? My husband is too weak that he can't do much of anything. But at least your husband still has a sense of humor. Thanks for writing and it was nice meeting you, also. I check this site daily and I always try to respond to anyones comments. Have a great day!
@denise96 - We should live next door to each other and be besties. I also use 5 - 8's and 10's in weights LOL . The TV part is funny. I use the TV in the bedroom cuz my hubs watches American Pickers and Pawn Stars too. Also, he's into WWII and probably could win a whole column on Jeopardy about any war! All his medical equipment is in Livingroom so he got dibs on the bigger TV. He does drive, but I need to be with him so I can speak. He also shovels, does as much as he can without over doing it. He, at times, will have the attitude that he has no illness which is when we get along the best. It's when he has to face the fact that he has no voice that bothers him the most; and I don't blame him. Our husbands are weakened and fighting for their lives. It is very frustrating for both partners when in this situation. It's hard to deal with. Hugs to you girl🤗
