This gets better, right?

So tired. Still trying to adjust to sleeping with a hubby in the bed, and one that gets up at all hours of the night because he's got a headache still, or just needs to move.

He's still got the headache. He rates it a good solid 6 out of 10 most of the time, with meds pushing it down to a strong 4 once in a while. It sucks to have a headache at all, but one that won't go away? Suck ASS.

He's still got the short term memory issues as well. Forgets things he's done, or things he's discussed. His default now is to tell everyone he knows that if he plans something with them, they're to run it by me before taking it as gospel and moving ahead. That way I can veto if it conflicts with anything else or if it's just simply not a good idea.

Crowded places = bad.

Driving = not so good.

Kids = quick to irritate him but he manages to keep it cool most of the time.

We finally saw the neurologist and he's recommending some tests and follow-up, and that's a positive thing. The CT he had showed no bleed. But still...

It's tiring. Draining. On him and on me. I'm doing my best to look out for him because his impulse is to do everything, see everyone, and push through the anxiety, and I have to be the voice of reason that says 'maybe we should take the evening/day/weekend off'.

Keep him in your thoughts, y'all, would ya?
