Aging With Adventure: He IS Always Home....
Monday, October 26, 2009 at 12:00AM One of the upsides of having a sick husband is he is always home. He can haul things up 3 flights of stairs and be a dad taxi for short runs for kids. He can’t do the long ones.
The downside is he is always home! His life is a little out of control so there are other lives available to oversee.
Good thing for both of us one of us has a sense of the absurd (at least 29 days out of a 31 day month. The other two days, no sense at all.)

At least you seem to have a positive attitude about it. When Frank is home for more than a few days, I'm not very nice and usually end up threatening bodily harm to him if he doesn't find something to do (other than hover over me!)
When my husband spends more than a couple days at home, I start to feel stressed out. He always wants me to change my routine to suit him. I don't know how you do it.
When my husband first got sick and was home all the time, even though I was at work I still thought I might kill him. Eventually after a few years it kind of smoothed out. But then when I became unemployed and then disabled and was home with him 24/7? Well let's just say I can hardly believe we are both still alive and not in jail after these last 10 months.
My husband is home all day but he has created himself a study in the basement so I hardly know he's here. I suggest you try it.
Hopefully he needs his 'alone time' just as much as you need yours.
We have to leave with our wife with full trust.We have to not make blaim on her that she is going always outside.We have to try to solve her problem not to increase.
