A fitness wake-up call

My husband has a hard time going to sleep at night and therfore he sleeps sometime all day.He can't seem to get motivatied to do anything, I am a morning person so at night I am ready to go to sleep and he gets very upset because I do not stay in bed with him, I am almost 60 and his sleeping all of the time is really getting on my nerves I really get upset with him and I think it has caused a lot of conflict in our relationship, after 34 years of marriage I am ready to just walk away and say stay in bed, however I do have a problem with that I am blind, I was diagnosied with RP and my sight has gone totally in my left eye and my right eye only pin holes so it really puts me at a disadvantage on doing things I would like to get done. I have tried talking to him about it and his response is you just don't understand I just can't sleep and I don;t feel good I've tried to get him to see a doctor however I think he is afraid to hear what the doctors says that he needs to exercise. what do I do I do love and care about him however sometimes I think he is what is holding me back in dealing with what I have going on in my own life, with RP and diabeites, as well as having a mitral valve replacement, I am currently taking antidepressents and I find my self really getting angry with everyone,

Hi. I want to thank you for your advice regarding these morning moves. I've been using them for the past few weeks and it's made getting moving in the morning much easier.

janet, your husband sounds like he is having a problem with depression also. people can be very stubborn, but continue trying to get him to go to the doctor. good luck!

Janet, it sounds almost like a guarantee that you have excessive gas in your house. Not necessarily a gas leak from you utility provider, but a combination of several other commonly overlooked household items. Most people don't realize it, but pets can emit serious levels of gas through, yes, flatulence and burping. It goes unnoticed most of the time because they are very discreet about it. Excessive gas can obviously also come from humans farting and burping. Check your ventilation system in your house and see if the exchange ratio is below 1.54. If that's not the problem, you might want to make sure that your lightbulbs don't have a coating that is slowly burning and peeling while emitting gas. Good luck!

Hi Janet:

It sounds like your hubby might have some depression. It's important that you seek alternitive activities as much as you can as well as keeping your mind active. Have you tried your local Association for the Blind? You appear to fit the criteria to be able to get into a program for needeed support as well as maybe even a little part time job being your hubby won't go to the doctor. The Association for the Blind have all kinds of programs for people with your kind of sight issues.

Good Luck,
Panzy

Jack O... are you shitting me? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And Janet's story is fake... people on here need to focus on HEALTH and NOT on stupidity. Jesus.
