He does have the loss of smell. He says its because of lasting effects of Covid that he had in Feb. 2020. I have my doubts about that now. No constipation that I am aware of. I also do NOT want to sleep in another room. After all these years I can't imagine sleeping in a separate bed. I was in the spare bedroom with the tv on both times he's launched himself out of bed, I heard it and rushed in. He was ok, thank goodness!! Your mother is right, only the Lord knows His timing. Sometimes it's so, so hard to trust in His will. That is one of my biggest issues. I'm such a worrier. My brain just can't stop going, going, going. Thanks ADHD! Yay. So, he used to take melatonin because he has a hard time staying asleep. It didn't really help. Maybe a dr could recomend a different dose. I just wish he'd go, ya know? We are lucky that our pets don't sleep on our bed when we're in it. Now that we're empty nesters our cat gets his own room. Lol!

My husband is so hardheaded! His back is killing him from which is too soft and he refuses to buy another one until he gets a number of bills paid off as he is close to retirement. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water, but. I’ve heard of people losing their sense of smell from Covid. I guess I’ve not heard whether it continued to remain gone or if it came back I don’t know. We have to google that to help him get to sleep. My father used to recite the names of the presidents the years they served and their vice president until he fell asleep! Ha ha ha! I don’t care that much about the president anymore and at 71 it is very hard for me to memorize things even to remember the names of people. My new husband knew that when he married me in January so he’s very patient with me but as a Christian, I know it’s not God’s will for me to be anxious and worry I have ADHD as well, and it is so hard for me to stop my brain from cycling round and round on the same thing. For sometime now, I have been wanting to memorize scripture that correlates with the alphabet to help me fall asleep or to think about when I’m tempted to be anxious. I came across a sample and I have almost managed to memorize it. I don’t worry about the chapter and verse. I I just memorize the words I’m going to try to include a photo for you. There ought to be all sorts of these out there I remember when my 43-year-old son was just for having a book like this and I still remember the first four verses from teaching him. (they weren’t the same as the first four verses on this example) I’m saying a prayer for you and that your husband would listen to reason
