Mr H has been away with work all week and came home this afternoon. All week he has been ringing, texting and emailing me to make sure that I have completed the couple of jobs that he asked me to do. And I have, and more besides. I have also had a pleasant and restful time, much needed after him being at home for over a week. On arrival home, he has a set routine, he goes to the loo, gets changed, brings his washing down, checks his post and email, rings his mum, then has a look at the garden. Then he tells me about his week. In that order always.
Today he has had to tell me in great detail about his latest ailment - itchy skin caused, he thinks, by the tablets that the GP gave him a couple of weeks ago for his possible irritable bowel. This itching, has, apparently, been so bad while he was away that he went to the chemist for advice. The pharmacist didn't look at the itchy areas but confirmed that it could be due to the tablets although very unlikely. Hedging your bets I think! On arrival home, he took great delight in showing me........nothing! No redness, no rash, nothing apart from very dry skin. I suggested he use some moisturiser, which he has done, but I notice that he has developed a new habit; most of the itching is around his waist, so he is constantly putting his hand down his trousers to scratch. It's not an attractive sight, and I sincerely hope that he manages to control himself as we have visitors all weekend, who probably don't want to watch him with his hands down his trousers. I certainly don't. He is so childlike in his behaviour, he has no self control, and no awareness of how he looks to others. If I try to tell him, he gets offended, so, as usual, I bite my lip and sit peacefully in another room.
I am conscious that my posts are all pretty negative, but we do have some good times, it's just that he can be so irritating and annoying. Maybe it's me. I don't know.
