[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 208529"] She's somewhat better today. She had spent the night at a friend's Friday night and didn't get enough sleep. Although, this morning she was complaining that we have nothing for breakfast. The amount of food we have in this house is almost obscene and I am soooo tired of that complaint and don't give into it. I simply tell her that I'm sure she'll figure something out. It still makes her mad every time, but a few minutes later she returns and lo and behold finds something to eat. As for me, I'm still in the flare. Running a low grade fever, brain not functioning well, exhausted. The good news is that the muscle weakness in my hips has lessened so it makes it easier to move about. Thank you for asking, Terry. I'm not too keen on taking things away as that just seems to make her more mad and kicks up the stubbornness big time. The not doing for her seems to make more of an impact and seems to be a more reasonable consequence to me. If she can't do what she's supposed - and help me with small things when I need it - then I can't do for her. Thanks for the support and advice. I listen to all of it and you all are so wise and help me to see things more objectively. :flowers: [/QUOTE]
