With my day off work I went to your thread. Who knew it would be over 100 pages! Good work @Amethyst59 ! I have been tempted to visit it because I had that feeling in December. However, as you know I've been preoccupied with other drama. During the many doctor visits regarding OH and his almost back surgery I had to cancel my appointments to have my gall bladder removed in 2016. I wasn't having a lot of problems but I knew I had a gall stone the size of a grape in it and it was suggested that I remove the whole gall bladder. It's a way common surgery here. Kept putting it off. Thanksgiving night (oh that made me laugh, y'all don't have Thanksgiving!) ....let's see...one night in November with my house full of company I began suffering severe pain. OH said as we went to bed, we need to go to the emergency room and then rolled over and went to sleep. Son #2 was here and I went to him in the middle of the night and asked him not to leave because he might have to drive me to the hospital. Being more rational then me at the time, he said, "No might, we are going now." I woke OH and said I was leaving for ER and he said, "Wait for me, I'll get dressed." I would be dead by then and he rolled over and went back to sleep. They gave me pain meds and could only assume it was gall bladder. Woke up OH on return and he asked why didn't he go? This was before diagnosis. Surgery was scheduled and he insisted on being my caretaker. He couldn't take care of himself. SS had to come get him and Son #1 and DIL took care of me. We must all take care of ourselves.My thread is

That is a lovely idea for a movie....let me know how the scriptwriting goes.I just saw your photo. You will be played by Sandra Bullock in my movie which is about all of us getting together in our robes.
I can’t see my reply !!! We must wear them on the planes !! Solves the weight problemI just saw your photo. You will be played by Sandra Bullock in my movie which is about all of us getting together in our robes.
Now I’m repeating myself.

@carolynp @Mudgee Joy you are both stars, AND you have so much to contend with too. Our OHs are so similar in traits that I really did have to laugh. A gentle man but clearly can be sneaky; doesn’t think the D word applies to him because his memory is fine; checking doors incessantly as the evening wears on; going to bed very early, unless I manage to engage his attention with a program, then up and down the stairs all evening; all these just for starters. When he’s good, he’s very very good but when he’s bad he’s horrid! Never has that nursery rhyme been more accurate. He is so much calmer now and I think he was playing up after I had been away all day. He enjoyed a visit to the family, asking the grandchildren the same questions and calling them by the wrong names, but they are fantastic and answer patiently and don’t seem to worry. Youngsters can soak up things where adults get anxious. My son is going to come on Thursday after work while I go to the cinema, I really need some support now. The memory clinic nurse is coming tomorrow to assess his response to Donepezil. It’s a week later than it should have been because he has nearly run out but they are so busy. She also said she would fill me in on services available in our area. Thank you TP friends for your kind words.
You can just imagine the looks from the other passengers ! Are you aloud to wear hair curlers on planes !?
At the end of the day / when my H is most strange - I like to read your threads and get to know you all a little - and divert myself from the weird world we live in.. love to all xxx
