Doesn’t anyone else feel …… ?
Everyone seems so calm and reasonable on here. Am I the only one who gets fed up and irritable?
This evening two things are driving me nuts: one is the constant contrariness, increased from his normal contrariness. (My daughter once said he’s the most contrary person she’s ever met. That was three years ago. Before these unexplained symptoms began.) The other irritation (aaarrrghh!!!) is the nearly always saying “Oh, I know.” When clearly, until it was explained, he did NOT know. (This too is an increase from his normal level of knowing everything.)
It truly seems that all the incompatible characteristics are greatly exaggerated now.
As is my level of irritation, which certainly does not help.

Yes, we do have a raised bed. My sleep is usually interrupted by finding a comfortable position for the surgery knee and leg. Also, my husband frequently gets up and that can wake me too, but I am dealing with it the best I can.
I think the biggest issue is how much he sleeps during the day. He has so little energy from the cancer treatment and no drive to do much of anything. Yes, they are adjusting his medication, but it takes time.

You're not aging in the negative sense. You are like a fine wine that improves with age!

P.S. I thought of you this morning, as I was removing the two-month old polish from my toe nails and painting on a fresh coat of flourescent blue!

Remember the story here of the lady's new intern who diagnosed her with hypoxia because her toenails were blue?
