I'm the one who's been sick the last 4 days. Woke up Tuesday with a stomach bug that completely wiped me out. So weak I couldn't lift my ipad! No interest in anything. Didn't eat. Just slept. Did my best to keep hydrated and this morning, I woke up and was just fine. What a relief!
I do not like being ill. Not even for a moment. I don't think I've been sick for almost 4 years now. I can't fathom how hubby can endure what he goes through with his lactose intolerance.
He was quite good all week and just let me sleep. I think he probably slept most of the time as well! LOL!!! He is adjusting to our new routine quite well. Seems to have is glucose levels back at a fairly level place. I think he's enjoying the visitors stopping by every day. And he is taking online animation classes which is great. Perhaps retiring will prove to be a really good choice for him. Or is this just the peaceful part of the roller coaster ride? LOL!!!
Been a good week considering my illness.

I can't help him
Yesterday, we picked up a pizza to take to mom. He ordered a sandwich and it came with 5 different types of cheese on it. I said, "are you sure that's ok?" and he just shook his head yes.
We were inside the place, so I wasn't going to argue with him.
He was up vomiting all night long with diarrhea. I mean every 5 minutes. Literally. I don't know where it came from. He was so weak today. And he didn't eat at all...so I expect him to crash any time as he is still taking his insulin....with no carbs going it.
What a nightmare!
But I can't help him. I did ask the question. It was a gentle reminder. I know he loves and craves cheese.....but since he is now lactose intolerant...is it worth it?
If it were me....no! But apparently it is for him.
I popped over to mom's for an hour this morning. Wonderful to get in these mini breaks. They had a mother/daughter team playing the piano and organ and I simply lost myself in the music. Came back home and started playing my keyboard. No idea how long it's been since I did that. Great inspiration. Great day.
I'm learning - it's his disease, I can't help him.
