He has flown to be with his mom....I spent today with mine. Tomorrow, I plan a very quiet day of solitude, totally alone, in my own home. My "gift" to me on Mother's Day!
I think it will be wonderful!
I'm sure my boys will call. But other than that, I plan to sit back and enjoy the quiet. Perhaps a long bubble bath, maybe a full day of chick flicks.
I wish each of you a truly peaceful, quiet, non-stressful day.

How can he not know?
It truly does amaze me at times. Ok, all of the time. I joined his staff for a "happy hour" last night and one of his employees was telling me how my hubby was slurring all of his words in a staff meeting 2 weeks ago. I explained that was the meds he wason for his cracked ribs.
My hubby is sitting right there and he says, "I did not slur my words!"
So not only have I told him that he did, but a co-worker also told him. And he still doesn't remember, or worse yet, believe, that he slurred them so bad no one could understand a thing he was saying.
I'm starting to think that the nerve endings in his brain cells are dead! LOL!
And ok, I have to LOL or I'd be sitting here crying.
Current status:
Sleeps in til about 8 am, gets on morning business calls. Takes a long nap from about 10 am - 1 pm, eats a bite, gets on afternoon calls. Day ends about 4 pm and he takes a nap til 6 pm. Dinner. Upstairs in bed to watch more TV about 7:30 pm.
His eyes are looking quite pink around the eyelid this week. But the rest of him is a grey/white. Still in depends 24/7. The tale-tell signs of the toilet bowls are an indication that bowel incontinence is still here. I don't think the meds are helping a bit. He's been on them at least 6 weeks now. No idea how he thinks he going to take 2 trips in the next 2-3 weeks. We will see how he manages.
I plan to bury myself in my art and with my friends while he is away. :o)

Home
I think the man missed me! LOL! But he is in pretty bad shape. His ribs have not healed. Every sneeze, cough, movement makes him wince. I can almost feel the pain. Poor guy.
On the drive home from the airport, I just decided to be gutsy. Told him all the changes I wanted to make. He didn't agree. But he did not disagree. I told him I'm going to go to every medical appointment he has...I don't care what it is. And that he should call his doctor tomorrow and get and OK to fly to visit his parents this week as I don't think he's well enough to go. Wasn't really a demanding conversation as I was joking quite a bit. But I do think he at least heard me. We'll see what happens. But I'm going to push him tomorrow to call his doctor.
He's just so happy to have me home I think he'll do anything I ask....for the next 2-3 days.
