MY Thanksgiving AND BLESSINGS

Today's the 29Th day of November. Just wanted to talk about thanksgiving this year. It was great because all my kids were there. I am so thankful for my blessings. Especially all my caregivers. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband Brian. He takes good care of me. But we have our bad nights, but mostly good ones. A good night for Brian is when I sleep all the way through. Last night was not one of those by far. Something woke me up; I was just plain hot and sweaty. It was hard communicating this because my speech has been gone almost 6 months now. Then an old itch came back to haunt and torment the both of us. Its a bad one because you cannot sleep; it's located right below my left butt cheek. We dealt with this when I could still talk some which caused a few sleepless nights back then. If Brian got any sleep last night it would be more than me. Brian applied anti itch cream twice because he forgot where it was. So after I tormented Brian by sitting in my chair since Brian's frustration caused me to chuckle and cry, woke up my bladder. After trying to get comfortable in the chair, I asked him to put me back into bed this time minus the extra blanket and heating pad that was making me hot. I spent the rest of the night on my side trying to scratch my back side trying to be quiet so Brian could sleep the last few hours before the alarm went off around 5:30. Now after Brian went to work I fiddled around trying to get warm and comfy so I could sleep. I zonked until the kids woke me up around 8:30. Then Becky, the hospice nurse came in to give me my breakfast and take my vitals. Then zonked out again until 11:00 when the kids woke me up. I feel better now but worrying about Brian. We are solving this nightmare by putting my computer close to our bed so we can communicate better. I've wanted this for a long time. My pet peeve is Brian asking me something when my computer is not available. Especially in bed or sitting on our amazing commode.
Not sure where or what caused this Koranic itch; whether it's the heat, my crazy meds, sitting all day butt naked from the waist down [its a potty thing] or a combination of all. But we are determined to fix these problems because we love each other and that's why I'm so blessed with a wonderful man. Dated 29 November 2010
