(((((Mizar)))))  Nice to see you, and yes, it is the kindest thing our families can do to at least once in a while, ask about us, the partner.  Hope your doing well Mizar

Our nurse pops in a couple of times a month, just for a chat and to take bloods.She always looks at me and than asks how I am before she asks hubby, bless her. She retires soon and I will so miss her.

Today is much better thankfully and sorry I didn't get back sooner. As I too read the threads and their responses on all the different topics I can see how people can "relate" to them. The story may not be exactly the same, but there is something in them that pertains to you. We're learning from each other. I have started several of my own projects ans I'm so glad I did. I am "letting go" so to speak, and living my life too. No, I'm not abandoning mys spouse of course, but it's that long over due "me" time. I think my husband is kinda glad to see that happening, but  at the same time I think he's soused to me always being nearby that he feels not right I guess you could say. Hmm... Getting back into the things that i need to do have also given us something to talk about except for the
how you feeling?, how was dialysis?, what's going on, are you dizzy? lol. I kinda think he likes the change of conversation too. It's weird how your life gets so wrapped up into the kidney world.  Did some shopping yesterday for Christmas with him and it was a good day. he didn't sleep all night so it might be a totally different day today. We'll see. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

TS, While Carl was on dialysis, we made a pact to spend at least 15 minutes of that time talking about things not related to D. That doesn't sound like much time, but it often stretched into much MORE time than that. And it really gave us some "together" time besides just being the care-partners.

I'm glad you are taking care of your "me" time. That is essential for your ability to be there for him.

Tex, I'm glad to hear things are a little better now.  And, yep, the "me time" will help a lot, both with how you feel and how you and your spouse relate to each other.  Keep smilin' gal...hugs are coming your way!

Inquiring minds want to know! lol   And, do you have any pictures of that?  I know..seems when something special special really happens we never have our camera lol.
