]ust seem to get worse as we age. We have always had problems, but now our hearing is going, so part of the time we misunderstand each other. I wear a hearing amplifier, but my Husband will not. He wore one and had a misfortunate thing happen. The tip got lost in his ear,and it took us 8 months to realize what happened. I mean we looked and looked and could not see it in there, but finally, one of our daughters saw it and removed it. Now my Husband is afraid to wear another hearing amplifier/aid. I understand this, but it still makes me sad.😢
This isn't the worst part of it, though. Even when we seem to be able to hear what the other one is saying, ( when we really try to listen) it is like we are talking in a foreign language. This happened tonight, and I am just sick.😢
I have been doing intermittent fasting and I had just finished my window for eating, and we had another one of our communication meltdowns. My blood pressure has been extremely unstable today, swinging from 180/110 to 100/60 and my pulse rate has been up to 100 and down to 80. I thought when I was able to eat, this would stabilize, but now I am just sick to my stomach. I am not sure it is worth it to eat anymore. Maybe this is a good thing. 🙁
I just wonder how long it will be until we can no longer communicate at all, even if we want to. :-( I fear being lost in the silence and alone....😭
I will always love my Husband, even if all we can share is silence. :-(
