Granny's gone and done it again

I find myself ... if DH gets up and walks away and doesn't tell me where he's going, I get a little sad and insecure, a little anxiety. I can't get up and go look for him, or go to the door and holler, Where are you? I feel a little lost without him. Once I am back on my feet I will probably get over it. I hope. Especially now that we put up this privacy curtain. I really feel cut off.

Chemo itself can cause memory loss I think.
Your on the right track as far as getting some exercise and a little while to yourself. I caught myself getting frustrated w/ Tom a couple times. I think its only normal.

When you think of memory loss you often think of a person not remembering the date, time and place. One thing that frustrates me is when he is looking for something and pulls everything off the shelves to the middle of the floor and just leaves it there. And still can't find what he's looking for so then he is very anxious. Takes lots of patience.

You cant hang it to make it slide open?

Maybe he feels insecure if he can't see you ..?

Like he's scared someone will do something to me. But I don't want to live with fear like that

Yes it does. There is respite care you could most likely get and even if you don't go anywhere You could take a nice nap, bath or just go to a room to read.

Right now he brought a lot of his canvases into the den. Spends more time looking at them then working at them. They are all started but none get finished. I have to control my urge to put them back in his art room so I have room to work. I can wear my self out if I let myself think like that. We only live once so it's better not to let the little things fester at you.

Did I tell Yall my electric bill was way over $400. this month? I could only pay $200. on it. All the bills went up by min. of 35%.

I still have to work because I'm not covered by food stamps etc. Only he is covered. That's why I still sell online

It's not that kind of curtain. I can't even get to it. It's basically a two-sided wall that surrounds everything I need. I'm here in my recliner in the living room, check. Next to me is my walker, check. Beyond that is the commode, check. I need the walker to take the two or three steps to get to the commode. I also need the walker to take the three or four steps to get to the wheelchair on the outside of the curtain. The commode is inside. The curtain is a freestanding two-sided L-shaped curtain providing me privacy for when I need the commode. It consists of a sheet draped over a simple PVC frame we built. It doesn't slide. And I can't reach it, even if it did. I would have to climb over the commode to get to it, lol. And that ain't happenin'!
