Treatment update

Hi All-

Hubbys memory has improved greatly.  Still not 100% but much much better!  Mood and depression still not good.  They said however that it could be 6 weeks after his memory return before we could see if the ECT treatments helped at all.  SIGH....so hurry up and wait!

Got the tree and lights up presents bought and wrapped......still waiting for a couple to be delivered.  So the holidays have begun in my home.  Now to make it as happy as can be for everyone....most importantly my two boys!

I do hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and has recovered from overindulgence that usually takes place....I know I ate way too many mashed potatoes and rolls!!  Carbaholic!!

Chat soon.....Hugs to all....Jenn

Thank you Karen!!  Enjoy your days off!!  I thought you were doen with your wreath making??  I need to stop and get myself one of those yet for outside the house.  Maybe tonight after work.  Finally I am back to work....what a joy to have my routine back and soemthing to do other than what I have been!!

Happy wrapping!!

Hugs....Jenn

I am sorry that your husband's improvement is going so slow.  But I have a feeling that things are going to be better for you both.  Try not to take things personally, this is depression getting in the way right now.

Keep working, it will do you good.  You need a break from things right now.  I know you wont give up on your marriage any time soon.  You are the type of person to stick it out to the end.  Know that this is going to take time and have patience with him if you can.  Your job will help you by giving you a break.  This will make you stronger and more able to deal with things. 

I just rememberd that I have to go and get a couple more gifts for two little girls.  Their grandmother addopted them when they were babies because their mother was into drugs.  Then her husband died of colon cancer, so I make them a wreath every year and get them a little something.  So I am off to the store to do a little more shopping. 

I hope that you feel better and that your day gets better.  Know that I am thinking of you.

Hugs, Karen

Karen that is so wonderful of you to do that for those two kids and their grandmother.  That must definitely put a smile on their faces.  You are such a sweetheart to remember them every year.  Keep up the great work you are doing!

Jaime that was a beautiful little poem......fits my life and hopefully the ending will be the same.

Thank you both!!  You are the best!

Hugs....Jenn

Question for whomever can answer........Last night DH was stumbling around like he was drunk but had nothing to drink......I just was home for lunch and he was just spacey and nasty.....I asked him if he was ok and he yelled at me to stop asking him that I had already asked him that twice already......I only asked at that moment.  I am tired of him being nasty......is this an after effect of the ECT?

If not then he better shape up or ship out!!  I am so mad right now.....I ask because I care and he is just a jerk! Sigh.......Jenn

Thank you so much for the response.  I will do some research on the awakening as you refer to it as.  I hope that's what it is.

You sir need to get some sleep!!  Try and relax and grab a couple of hours before the dentist.  Although that may be part of what is keeping you up, would be for me:)

Thanks again...I will hope that is the issue.

Hugs....Jenn

Thanks Karen!!  I too hope Jaime is on target and that is all that is happening.  This is very diffcult right now and I feel as if he is pushing me to the edge.  I am trying to hold on and hope I can.  Really don't even want to go home after work.....would rather not actually.  Sad.

Hugs....Jenn
