Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Vera, sorry that you are having those upsets, I pray for you and LA Louise, you both have so much to offer. As likely MSA/SDS since Oct. I have gleaned so much from your posts and try very hard to be a reasonable patient. Hubby won't get near the 'puter, I wish he would, so I pass on as many helps as I think would benefit him as I know he won't ask. There should be a TOUGH LOVE guide for women with cranky husbands. Several years ago my father-in-law became ill at 91 and we had to put him in a nursing home after his hospitalization. Then shortly after my brother-in-law became seriously ill and we found their home a mess. The VA wanted to send him to us (no way) so they put him with his dad until we got their house in order. It was for several weeks and dad had passed away. It turned out to be quite an awakening, but my brother-in-law became a very responsible person and still talks about his nursing home experience. He's in his mid 70's now. I assume Fred still takes care of the finances. We've had several jobs done the past few months by a small contractor. He usually asks for money up front when he buys supplies, then gives us the receipts and doesn't collect the rest until done. Usually, he's here when he says he will be and gets right to work. Hope you find a solution for yours. His speech can be frustrating, I know it is for me and hubby is profoundly hard of hearing, too. Get a tape recorder so he can hear himself. I'm nothing like I was, but he has to hear that (in our heads we sound OK). Dodie in MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
