I can definitely see where bandages can be an itchy irritant. I have had a tendency of getting off small bandages early because of the itch...I hope you get some much-needed rest.

Sleep is a luxury that you can't afford to ignore. Otherwise, you will both be sick at the same time. He probably didn't want to bother you. I know you are both probably frustrated, but don't let it keep you down. Keep the faith, my friend.

I understand being impatient with a medical condition that just keeps on keeping on. But sometimes we stubborn ones need to follow instructions. Yes, I have been called stubborn - it's a trait I passed down to at least two of my kids. Get some rest, Kabu. That's a suggestion, not an instruction - I hope both of you kids can feel much better soon.

I'm sorry you are going through all of these nursing duties when you should be retired from them. I know it is hard on you. I am sending you (((Hugs))). It sounds as though Jim needs to make dietary changes, drink more water, elevate his legs, and do some mild exercises. Our middle daughter's father-in-law suffers from the same health issues. He ignores the doctor's suggestions and eats what he wants, along with adding extra salt to everything he eats.
