Mr Incredible

That's my hubby.

Today I scheduled us both for Dr. appts. He needed to come in for some test results and I needed to go in for the dizziness and needed a chauffeur. Our doctor was two hours behind schedule. Triple S had to work his day all around this. Poor guy.

So we found out that Triple S is allergic to a bunch of stuff. We knew from the over abundance of symptoms that he has spring time allergies. However, he is allergic to dust mites, cats (we have one) grasses and other trees and five foods. Not the food that we thought he was allergic to.... but others that we had no idea. Poor guy. His heart is healthy though (super high cholesterol runs in his family).

I am dizzy but no ear infection. I got a steroid and a motion pill.

Triple S is beginning to feel very strained taking so much care of me. I asked our neighbors if one of them could drive me to my class tomorrow evening if I am still dizzy and they can, thus easing Triple S' schedule tomorrow. We have helped them out a lot since their son was born 18 months ago, but it is still hard for me to ask favors of people. I am just so self reliant. I guess I did it more because I saw the stress it was causing Triple S.

Today I went to his work so he wouldn't have to drive all the way back home to pick me up for the dr appt., and I just sat in a quiet area and worked on my lecture. Since the appt. took so long, I told him to just drop me at a nearby coffee shop while he finished up his experiments. He called me when coming out of his building, but my phone didn't ring. When he got to the coffee shop he was super cranky. I know this is because he gets VERY worried and panicky when I don't answer my phone. We have fought about this for, well, since we first got cell phones ~6? years ago. But now I understand, since I am in need of almost constant medical attn. and am very dizzy. God knows what I could end up doing. So, I know his strength is wearing thin, poor guy. I told him I am getting better and even if I am dizzy, we can still take care of each other. Yes, maybe I can't drive and he is cooking, but I can support him emotionally.

We just need a break. I hope I can give him some relief or the support he needs. It's hard folks, these ups and downs, and I know it has been hard for all of you too. But we can all make it...
