Thank you, Gershun.
There is so much other stuff too, but you have all written about it-and the answers are there, throughout the forum, but they are hard.

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Ah, the E.R. doc says to see an orthopedic doc-dH goes to PCP today, she takes the soft splint off, refuses to refer to an orthopedist, send hubs home.
PCP calls tonight to say he may have a hidden fracture and come back in tomorrow for ANOTHER x-ray-not her speciality-and an ortho doc will take their own x-ray. If he goes to PCP, that will be x-ray number 3. His insurance does not require a referral from PCP or prior authorization.

Send, oh good grief, back when I broke my shoulder I was on my own as sig other was no Florence Nightingale and would have made things much worse. I had to do the shower on my own, so there I was trying to wash my hair with my left hand [I was right handed and that was the side with the break].... try to wash left handed and try to dry left handed. Combing and blow drying hair was a challenge... but trying to brush my teeth was the worse.

I had to type left handed and try to use the Mouse on the left side, that was a hoot trying to land the arrow on what I wanted... surprised I didn't throw the computer out the window.

Eating was like that of a toddler... and writing more like pre-school lettering.

My ex-mother-in-law had broken her shoulder few months prior, so she was able to give me tips on how to get dressed one handed :]

Does everybody know that Valium is a depressant and travels the same brain pathway as alcohol?

No Send she didn't but she did renew my valium without a fight.
Exterminator came today and set traps for the mice. Maybe they will like his traps better than mine. Did I mention hubby found a mouse dead in a bottle of olive oil.
Is this to be expected like the bug in the Tequila?

Send...you gotta learn some jokes or think of funny stories to tell when he's in and out of the shower,needing help with drying.It's kinda embarrassing on both but you have to face it and just go as carefully and fast as you can and talk about funny stuff to divert his attention and yeah,I'll bet your in for more suprises....Bless you for helping him as a "spotter"~

Thank you, Pamzi, now that there is a title for it, I will become the "spotter" for my dH's showers. It was a surprise to me too that he would need this, but now that I know, I will be there for him. So, yesterday, he took the soft cast off his arm/hand, and I was too late getting the plastic bag to him to cover it. Taking a bit longer to get ready, what is the next surprise?

Shouldn't he be off work for awhile anyway?

My 85yo Mom has AD and has lived with us for 4 years, we have regretted it since she step across the threshold.
She always had issues of insecurity and was envious of other's good fortune. She would never take responsibility for any mistake she made or apologize for anything she did that hurt or upset anyone...I have never heard her say she was sorry to anyone for anything! Her AD has really brought this aspect of her personality out in full force. These days she accuses her 'Friend" Lydia of everything under the sun, from pooping or peeing on the floor to stealing my clothes and eating the dog's treats. When she denies any wrong doing, I have learned to beat her to the punch and tell her "Lydia told me she saw you do it!" and I give her a BIG GRIN as I turn and walk away.... it feels sooooo good!

I'm still coughing too much to go see mom but my private caregiver asked if I could call and talk to her this afternoon - she was in a mood because the Hotel California thought she should be on a restricted diet - like greasy chicken broth is going to make her feel better - and she got mad when she saw everyone else eating lunch
Yesterday I told them to let her decide if she wanted to eat or not - guess they didn't listen
Don't they know not to get between a hungry Viking and her food ?

Oh geeze Send, my hubs has been helping me take a shower since I broke my ankle.. and thank God for him! And now I am in a Cam boot that I can take off for a shower, and I still need a spotter because I am afraid I might slip! mom is helping with that,, just mainly in case I get shakey. I assure you this is not something I ever thought I would need.. and bless you for helping him.. things could get stinky if you don;t!!

Had to help dH to shower this morning to prevent his soft cast/splint from getting wet. Who does that for an adult who injured self on a bike ride?
This activity involves the same injury, Cwillie, just following up once I could get his cooperation.
Begging to help someone? Who does that?
Then, he wanted to be dried off......

There is just too many hospital visitor badges in my possession now. My dH finally got checked out tonight, has a hand/wrist splint to immobilize a possible injury to a ligament, to see an orthopedist soon, was the advice.
