OK I want to preface this by saying that I dearly love my husband of 40yrs. I admire him for many different reasons. And, try to support him in as many areas as I can without being untrue to my own soul. Saying that...realize that I'm using this blog as a place for ranting!!!

HE'S DRIVING ME PURELY NUTS!!! Apeshit even!! What is it with intelligent people that once they get a notion in their heads that you can't reason with them at all??? ARGHHHHH!!

He has bronchitis. He's been given medicine for this. The medicine works best if uninterrupted. And, as a controlled substance, isn't something to be played around with.

It says to take every 2x day. This doesn't mean anytime during this 24hr period you can pick 2 times you want to take this medicine. USUALLY it means 12hrs apart....right? Instead.....he's taking it a dose here....a dose there....never catching on as to why it's not maintaining a steady, measured managment of his symptoms.

At this point I'm just trying to not pay any attention to him...can not be of any assistance when the person refuses to listen to reason.

Better

Update on our colds. I still have bronchitis. I'm still taking antibiotics and cough syrup with codiene. I can still tell a difference each day with it progressively improving. PTL!! Scott's isn't progressing like I'd thought it would.

I worried about Scott's medicines not working. Yesterday he contacted his doctor and was called in some of my cough syrup which enabled him to get a whole lot more sleep last night. Actually, though...I'm thinking it's the z-pack not working on him like I expected it to....thought I'd see a big difference, but it seems like it was just weaker enough from mine that he didn't improve as quickly.

Anyway....we're better....we're still unpleasant to be around when the 'attacks' hit...bleaaa, but the tissue supply for the world may be safe after all....

ugh!!...wait....not ugh after all!!

I did manage to get in to see the doctor today...well, rather her hubby, who is also in the same group. Anyway...turns out to be bronchitis...heading toward pneumonia...glad I went!! I kept hassling Scott to go, too, but finally gave up. He called an hour later with the news that the doctor thought he wasn't nearly as bad me, but still warranted a Z-pack and script for another med, too. Hah!...sometimes nagging works best when you just threaten to not share your drugs!! LOL

Currently we're both experiencing that period of time where the meds have just begun to work enough to make things seem worse...we're both coughing more, but I do think my head seems clearer. What a relief!! LOL

Scott's stuck with supper duties tonight...he's such a good husband!! He's baking talipia and steaming broccoli and fixed a sweet potato for us to share....and, there's hot yeast rolls!! YUM!

Life is definitely looking UP!!

Pouting on Special Day

I know it's not mature to pout, but I really never looked forward to spending my 40Th wedding anniversary with both of us having bad colds. The hacking, sniffing, blowing type....and to add insult to this....his idea of how to spend tonight is to watch a ball game on TV.....not even a lousy movie watched together...grump!grump!grump!
