My up beat mood of last week seems to have evaporated. It's been a very down weekend and tears have not been very far away. Life seems to be getting narrower and narrower and much a I love OH he takes me and all I do to take care of him for granted. I have a suspicion that some of his tiredness and misery is depression but I can't persuade him to see his GP. The first thing anyone asks about is him and his illness and while I expect that, no-one ever considers me and that I get stressed with all the extra things I have to do. He is an old fashioned type of guy an doesn't think women should do certain things like cleaning the outside of the windows and getting the coal in. He doesn't mind me doing them - just doesn't want anyone to see me in case they think he is idle! It causes so many problems. He doesn't like me driving either, so when we leave the house he drives to the bottom of the road and then we swap over. Its so silly. A bit of appreciation wouldn't go amiss.
I've just got to get my upbeat mood of last week back! Eating has been quite good and I'm going to make a determined effort next week. I'm a bit stiff from my fall, but all OH said was 'you should be more careful' Not are you OK, have you hurt yourself - when I burst out laughing because I was following Moose again, he just walked away. Whatever happened to the lovely chap I married? I'm sure he's under there somewhere!
That's my moan for the weekend. I've got it off my chest and life goes on......

The stresses we live with, with our husbands struggling with illnesses, can be overwhelming at times. I wish for you some acknowledgment of appreciation ... but sometimes we have to ask because our significant others don't really think to say. It isn't that they do not appreciate us ... they just feel so miserable and don't often put into words what they feel inside. I'm glad to hear eating has been better ... that is a step in the right direction!! I'm sure that lovely chap you married is still there ... perhaps we can encourage him to come out and play!!! Remember ... we are only following "good" from each other now ... no more cut thumbs, skinned knees, falls, and the like!! Sending you big hugs and warm thoughts ... life does go on ... some days are just more challenging than others.

I really feel for you but Moose has said it all. Try and do something special for just you today. You take the time to appreciate you and all you do. I really do understand how you are feeling. I think we all feel like that at times. Take care!
