[QUOTE="DDD, post: 322399, member: 35"] Thanksgiving went off pretty well much to my relief. It was not picture perfect but everything was tasty and for some reason the bird was beautiful. daughter in law and others asked "how did you get the turkey so perfect" and I had to laugh and say it must be genes. Thanksgiving Eve?? You know the night you do prep work and then sleep soundly so you can get the bird in the oven early etc. OMG! easy child/difficult child went out "for a couple of hours" "don't worry I'm not going to drink tonight". At 1 AM I woke up as he was dropped off in the driveway. I watched him barely able to walk coming into the garage. Crash! I heard him fall. That was the first of three falls before he fell assleep. I could not go to sleep until 5 am when he finally was sober enough to trust. He "knew" he had friends in the bedroom next to his. Not! He came to tell me "I kicked some girl out of my room and locked the front door". The girl was me and I left his room after I knew he had not seriously hurt his head when he fell over the table next to his bed sending the stereo careening onto the floor.. :frowny: It was a really bad night. He kept trying to either go outside to see who all was outside in the yard........or checking the front door to make sure they couldn't come back in. I'm grateful that I pulled off the dinner with only two hours sleep. I am still grateful he survived his brain surgery and is alive. BUT....the combo of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and alcoholism is a major major bummer. He has been saying for a month that he thinks he is ready for rehab and has an application on the way to the house. First bed opening is February. Truthfully I do not think it will work IF he goes but I sorely need a break and a month or two without him and the worry/drama that goes with it will help me. DDD [/QUOTE]
