[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 125518, member: 393"] [B]All of a sudden my husband is bent out of shape. He keeps insisting that he sees big improvements in my health & no one else is seeing it or acknowledging it thereby scaring me. Everyone - doctors, family, (okay that's everyone for now). I can't tell where this is coming from to be real honest. In certain areas there have been strides made; in other areas things are getting a lot worse & my appointment @ Mayo can't come soon enough. husband keeps insisting that I need to push my body to do the grocery shopping & laundry (lazy turd); I will & do do these things when my body is strong enough. In the meantime, I need help. He's convinced that my memory isn't that weak & that I should remember to do things weekly with-o having to be reminded (pay bills comes to mind) or have the bills sorted out for me so I can take care of it. And then I do pay bills - just some of them; there are days I forget how to do it & have to ask for help. Again - no biggie. Also, husband resents (not sure that's the right word or not) the amount of time I "nap" during the day. The medications prescribed during the day are to help with the prednisone agitation or "surely I will rip husband's head right off". A few weeks back husband told me to sleep when I can - that my body is trying to heal. husband practically yelled at me tonight that he didn't care if my brain was so swollen that it was ready to implode there have been improvements in my health. No one will admit it! AND..... I'm confused. He won't tell me where this is coming from ...... I asked him to please take the time & join me at the neurologist for questions (heck our GP will take an hour with him). NOPE?! I also asked him to check into couneseling or a caregiver's support group! Not for him - at least not at this time. Thanks for listening - husband is right! My brain is ready to implode.
