So, our Doc gave me a Rx for him – hopefully it will reduce the nighttime kicking. Visit went well although the poor guy was 1/2 hour late with us – that never happens. He kept getting calls from MD’s – I remember so well.
He came in and sat a moment and we bemoaned the day – he is such a dear. We chatted about everything except my visit – kind of funny as we both enjoyed the time. He said he appreciated my never being upset.
Anyway, day is done and I’m ready for bed by 9:30pm!
Still have to set up for the home care aide tomorrow and make sure the house is spiffed up:)
***By the way, I hope no one thinks I just “medicate him” – I don’t, but he wasn’t getting a restful sleep and I wasn’t. Maybe this is a phase which will pass like the talking in his sleep – that has eased so much as have the nightmares.

Good heavens, better living through chemistry. We only get to do this once, so we should seek to do it as well as possible.
No one thinks you “just medictate” him. At least no one would who has read your blog over the past months plus.
What we (at least I) think is that you are providing all the love and care you can, that you are living out your marriage vows–in sickness and in health–in the most dramatic way possible.
And that when all is said and done, you will deserve a medal!
Everything that you do for your dear hubby… you do with such love…even giving him meds for a better night’s sleep.
You both deserve a good rest!
Oh dear heavens, Jeanmac. Nobody is standing in your shoes, so nobody has the right to judge you. And yes, if you need help in the way of meds. – that’s what they are there for!!
I take medicine for Restless leg syndrome ..not because my restless legs bother me ..but so that my husband can get better rest.
I kick the living daylights out of him while I’m asleep.
during my sleep study, they had to untangle the me out of the blankets. Since I started the meds, my husband has gotten significantly better sleep.
