dear all wonder if you have had a more absurd few days than mine since last friday.thought you might get a laugh out of it. i had to wait until this afternoon to see it as an old" i love lucy show." friday early morning jack wakes me up to say he felt horrible . i asked whathurt , are you stiff or what? he told me he didn't know and i wouldn't understand. he didn't want breakfast as throat was clogged up so he could'nt swalllow meds. never got dressed all day but didn't want to bother the doctor and spoil her weekend !!! we got thru to monday when he woke me [ the original nite owl ] at 5:30 handing me his wet p j bottoms said he accidently wet them and asked me to please rinse them--- no problem. there i was in nitey without dentures and no glasses on half asleep ,threw pjs in bathtub turned cold faucet on ------all of a sudden the shower spray hose got me and half the bathroom soaked. as i am freezing dear jack standing doorway said he forgot to flip the showerhead off and i better mop up all that water. yikes i was shivering all wet and certainly was aware of wet floor. .took me half the day to warm up,wash towels and mop up 1/2" water on floor --and then get dentures,glasses and dry clothes. dear jack just kept apologising i finally told him to stop because he couldn't help it. i never got out of house even to get mail. tuesday jack again said he was chocking due to gobs of mucous so had trouble taking meds . as he had previously told dr. about it and she had no solution don't call her. i spent day coaxing jack to drink hot tea and more water. took out my thinking cap and thought he seemed to be acting like a child with croup aha !! i made him sit at the table with a towel over his head and inhale steam from cup of very hot water, it worked caught up on errands and finally went to bed at 3 am lo an behold 5:30 am jack asks me to empty his duck and a plastic container that he had urinated in. darn thing didn't had a handle and it slipperd out of my hand and no baptism by fire but urine soaked through and through i started laughing and told hubby i can do anything he wants but by darn i am tired of being awaked so early and having unwanted showers. what next? connie ' '
