Awww thanks. 🙂 It was funny, I’ll admit. Apparently I just stood there saying “oh, we need bread” *put loaf into cart*. Two second later “Oh, we need bread” *put loaf into cart*.

Eventually he just started taking loaves out as I was putting them in. LOL. Thankfully he understands my brand of crazy. 😉

ROFL!!! Your last comment gave me a belly-laugh. I FEEL like a slacker on the writing front at the moment, but I will be busting out the words soon. 🙂

Love your blog. Love your kick-ass bravery. Love you.

Now, start writing you slacker! <3

I’m glad you like it… the seven loaves of bread in the grocery cart and hubs mild comment deserved something special. 🙂

Thanks so much for your comment, Christy. You nailed it when you said he would poo poo the idea. I have encouraged therapy, support group, and talking with someone one on one who has been through it with his wife. And I will keep doing so. He’s not ruling one of the multitude of options out, but still hasn’t acted on any of them. And this is something I can’t do for him.

The rest I have given my hands seems to have paid off, much less tingly this morning. 😀

Your love for him shines through in this post and he’s a lucky man. You should encourage him to reach out to a spousal support group–I’m sure there is one available. He might poo poo the idea, but it would be good for him and help alleviate your worry for him.

I agree with Rhonda on the speech software. It might still the voices in your head…

Hugs and prayers.

You’re right. He’s not equipped for this kind of stress. I just think it’s funny that he used a plastic plate (throwaway variety) when we had ceramic plates in the cupboard … that wouldn’t have melted. Poor guy. We’ll get through this somehow. (He may be a little worse for wear then, though.)

He’s not equipped for this kind of stress. By the time all is said and done, you’ll need a new set of dishes and a new toaster oven, and he’ll need a new set of nerves. Glad you can find the humor in all of this.

Thanks, Lisette. I think it is important to share all aspects. Because as I keep saying, this isn’t all about me. 😀 And your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.

I’m so glad you are blogging and sharing many aspects of this journey with us. I really understand exactly how relevant the story about Denny and the plastic plate is.

You’re in my thoughts all the time and am continuing to pray for your full recovery.

I LOVE it Your sparkly heart

You GET those loaves of bread. And I totally get it. I have been known to wander around the house looking for something… keys, glasses, whatever — that I am actually carrying in my hand. The mind plays with us just for kicks, I’m sure of it… or maybe it’s just MY mind.

Anyway, I’m not sure I could adapt my process to speech recognition and have it make any sense. If I’m truly in the writing zone, I usually have headphones on and I am known to sing along with whatever is playing… I’d inadvertently leave a song lyric in the text (that I had sung out while thinking) and wind up in court being sued for copyright infringement. And somehow the words “But your honor, it was the speech recognition software, I swear I was just singing along.” wouldn’t cut any ice in court. 😀
