We see our family doctor Sept. 9th and our specialist in October. Will ask them about these long times in bed.

I am afraid he has given up – can he know to do that?

Yesterday, got him up around 3:30pm, he ate his meal, sat with me for a bit and back to bed til 8:30pm We retired at 11pm – he slept soundly right away.

It’s now 2:11pm and he has not been up -

In order to handle the distress (better than I am doing now), will pretend he’s at work all day. At least then I can pretend it’s normal that I’m alone. Once 5pm comes, I’ll deal with his sleeping.

As Ruth said in her comment, usually families deal with the reverse – which is so much more difficult.

Thank you for your words of support and suggestions. Drives me crazy as I’m a “want to know” type person. I like facts and figures, not abstracts. Even in school, let me memorize that which is fact – black and white. Forgot the world and the human body are not always presented in black and white.
