Grumpy lately? Me? heh
May. 1st, 2008 06:59 amEric is in pain most of the time. Hey, so am I but at least I do something about it other than to moan and complain. My repeated suggestions that he go see a doctor have been brushed off. He hasn't filled his blood pressure prescription in months. I'm so worried that he's headed for a heart attack or stroke.
He doesn't want to take pain meds all the time. The pain makes him not sleep well. It makes him grumpy all the time. He doesn't want to do anything because he's tired. Well, hello! Pain does make you tired.
His mouse shoulder is killing him. It's his left shoulder. We keep checking to make sure it's muscular. He's having almost identical pain to my neck problem so I know the agony of that.
His work situation is getting better. They've had 3 of their 5 projects approved, so he'll definitely have a job. His boss promised to get him the things Administration has denied if their main project was approved and it was one of the accepted ones. His mood regarding work is lighter, thank the powers that be! Lordy, I was getting tired of that!
I even had a dream where a charming man (a cad from a movie I'd just watched) wanted to whisk me away and I was so happy to be around someone who wasn't grumpy that I went. In the dream, I knew he was a player. I didn't care. He was CHEERFUL. Telling Eric about the dream probably wasn't the kindest thing to do. I was in pain myself and I think it might have been the time he woke me up because I wasn't breathing. That made me quite grumpy not to know how the dream ended. I was wearing my CPAP for heaven's sake! I don't wake him everytime he doesn't breathe. He is now schooled on how to touch a sleeping person just enough to get them to take a breath. You brush against them as if you're rolling over. Mostly I told him because it was such a strange dream. I won't leave him over grumpiness! Wasn't that part of our vows? This is the Worse part, right?
I'm just about ready to make him a doctor's appointment and to contact the doctor about all my concerns. Eric needs a new CPAP mask and possibly a better machine. His is so noisy! He says the 3rd party places that sell them rip the insurance companies off and won't check in to it for that reason. I noticed that mine was charged as a rental to my insurance company for three months at $250 per month and then sold to me for $999. That does seem like a bogus deal but if that's how they've worked it out, it's not mine to criticize. I think they do it in case the machine isn't right for you. Wouldn't they know that after the first month?
Eric's cholesterol hasn't been checked in years. He doesn't take his blood pressure med or check his blood pressure. His pain needs to be dealt with.
He is starting to eat better, sometimes. I guess my voiced concerns have had some impact. I try not to nag. I simply state my concerns when the topic comes up and leave it at that.
He actually has listened to me about ice packs and posture, temporarily.
This has been going on for months. I am so tired of it. It makes me grumpy in return.
I've got my dream job that I love. I'm currently free from school. My back is finally healing from the wheelchair incident at Mom's Emergency visit. Mom's doing well. J is doing well. The little girl next door is a total delight. Seems like this should be a happy, light-hearted time. Mr. Grumpy is dragging me down. OK. I'll stop letting him!
Anyone local want to go see The Kids in the Hall in SF on May 10th? Eric won't go. Last I checked they had $50 tickets available.
