I am glad we are talking. A lot of us understand each other

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I also have diverticulitis and was in the hospital one time for 3 weeks. My husband would come to visit and fall asleep in the chair in the room. One time the nurses came to get me for a procedure and I told them to be quiet, because the hubs was sleeping. He was still asleep when I got back a couple of hours later. I know all you want to do is keep us safe. I am truly grateful. I know part of my problem is that my parents never really showed much concern and I am just not used to having someone being so concerned.

He just loves you heaps, and it's his protective, loving, caring side coming out.
My wife is the same, and there are times when I just wish that she'd leave me alone, go away, bugger off, rack off, but she's just showing her love and concern for me. I've actually married a very loving, caring person, she's great, really.
But I know what you mean, I just feel like she over-does it sometimes, but then again, I didn't come from a very loving family, my father being the worst offender. He was just abusive and violent.
My wife's the opposite, she exudes love and is fantastic with young children and very good relating to people.
But no, think yourself lucky that you have such a loving, caring husband.

I don't have that issue, & if I with someone who may be uneasy about it, I simply tell them that if you hear a thud don't worry, I should be back in 5 minutes max.

I think I understand the feeling because I have plenty of people to where if they hear a loud thud noise they automatically check on me or assume something happened and I get irritated about it because it usually happens 2-3 times every two weeks sometimes more.
