You'd be blue by now. I've only been hitting and missing the posting lately. Lot's going on here with things to do for Fred and then our daughter is going to have a baby in about 6 weeks, so been trying to help her with the babies room and get ready for that. Want to be ready for this one birth, last one she had was another story. Just a good thing I had my cup of chocolate coffee or who know's what I would of been like by now. ) Let me be the first to welcome you to the late night club. Many of us don't get much sleep at night. Fred also had about of year of insomina. Going to bed about 10pm and up at 1am . Then walking around the house the rest of the night. Now his up two to five times a night. The mind is telling him he needs the bathroom, but when we get in there , it's nothing at all but a few drip, drip and a drop. He feels bad because he got me up. Strange how this play's with the mind. Fred hasn't had the problem like your Al with the leg's. The only thing he had there was the Restless Leg at night. The doctor gave him Clonazepam for that and his not had any problem with it since. Thing that his been having the problem with is his breathing. That's been going on for about a year and a half. The doctors have given us stuff for that, but it only help's so much. Some night's we have to do breathing treatment's around 3 am , even with his cpap. Thing is Fred had problems with his lungs before the MSA from the Hong Kong flu in the 70's. That left a weakness there and now with the MSA , that's were it's giving him his problem again. Keep the sense of humor, it help's. Take Care Vera Subject: Thank you Vera Hi Vera, Yes life can be full on in the daylight hours! We were struck over the fastest in which Fred deteriorated - five years wow! Al feels that he's going downhill rapidly and will be in a chair in the not too distant future. Part of the reason he's constantly on the run is due to his hot painful burning legs. He gets so uncomfortable that he feels compelled to walk around no matter what time of the day or night! On top of that he suffers from insomina - so you can guess who is getting sleep around here. I like the Aussie Anne #2 she lives down on the Gold Coast. I live in the Bayside area in the city of Brisbane. Maybe I should sign off as Brizzy Ann ??? Al is short for Al-ger-non though his family in Fiji call him Algie - he was named after his English grandfather. Generally people here in Australia call him Al sometimes Alan. I generally have to check everyone's E-mail address to see who is talking. Join the Club " I have absouletely no idea what all this Hi tech jargon is about " . I can type, but computers I have a lot to learn about still. Al reckons he can't wait to get his electric w/c then he'll be able to take his bookcase with him. He's still got his sense of humour, which gives us both some respite. Take it easy Mate! Aussie Ann or Brizzy Ann ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
