I'm worried about Mike

Mary Anne, I have no suggestions but I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and Mike.

My Dad has had heart disease for a number of years, and although he's aware of his condition and is very proactive in treating it, sometimes I have to kick his butt to see his doctor. I don't like doing it, and I know he gets annoyed when I get on his case, but I'm sure he knows I do it because I love him. Sometimes, putting your foot down is what is needed. And as katl8e said, we are smarter than they are!

Good thoughts coming your way!

Mary Anne, i saw Mike's picture when i went to your website. He has an air of benevolence. You guys look like a sweet couple!


Sometime, my hubby will get that way. Not on the couch, but with his x-box game. He can play and play on one particular game for hours. i have to ask him (not nag, how dare i?!??!) repeatedly to go out shopping or a walk or something, just to encourage him to get out of the house, instead of gluing on to the tv screen for hours.

Could that help? What about encouraging him to take a walk with you or something?


My well wishes are with you!

Cheers!

Mary Anne,
please get him into a doctor as soon as possible. My dad, who is in his mid 60's had a "stomache ache" last year which turned out to be an anuerism of his abdominal aeorta (sorry about the spelling). If not for my youngest sister's persistance, my dad might not be alive today...his doctor couldn't find anything wrong. The Diabetes may be a factor, my husband is a Type I (juvenile onset) diabetic, and if his sugar is low, he will appear sleepy or lethargic and then worse... In any case, a doctor should rule out any medical condition as well as the possibility of depression. Take care.

I sat down with him earlier and discussed my concerns. I didn't understand why he kept grinning through my *lecture of love* Then he grabbed my hand and told me to follow him and walked me out to the shop.

He went to the back room and there was a pile of junk covered by a canvas, and he flipped the canvas back and picked up an object and came out to me, setting it down on the ground in front of me.

OMG it is the most beautiful, ornate hand carved chest I have ever seen! He made it himself out of exotic woods and has been getting up after I fall asleep and going out in the shop to work on it, returning right before I get up in the morning! It has horses, and dogs and cats carved on it, and is a series depicting our lives together! It was supposed to be a surprise for me for our anniversary but he fell behind working on it and so he had to resort to sneaky tactics.

I am so relieved he is not sick, but I could really hurt him for scaring me so!

I just popped in to post a thread and OMG MA that is such a wonderful gift!

Wow, glad to know, Mary Anne, that you can throw your worries out of the window! :

Handmade craftworks are the BEST!!

Very cool!

Cheers!

Well that was sneaky!!!! But it must have been such a good surprise!

Now, how to get revenge (rubbing hands together....)

What a STINKER!!!!

(heehee!)

I bet you're excited!

How sweet of Mike! I'm happy it turned out to be such a nice surprise instead of him being sick.

I just wanted to suggest keeping a supply of sugar-free candy and snacks on hand for Mike. Maybe that would help him cut down on the amount of sugary food he eats.

Mary Anne - you are SUCH a lucky woman to have a kind, loving and thoughtful man like Mike.

That is such a beautiful and touching thing to do - and to sneak out to finish it off in the early hours is just so deliciously romantic I litteraly had a tear in my eye (must be hormones) while reading it.

What a love he is !!!! Yes you are truely luck and I am very curious - Can we have a looks see when he is done???? Will you please share a picture with us?!

WOW (must talk to hubby about what a wonderful man Mike is, hint, hint)
