Not sure if I should laugh or cry....

[BatmansWife]

....I'm sitting here with kind of a deer-in-the-headlights look. :001_huh:

 

Let me start by saying....this is not a dh bashing thread. I'm just tryin' to figure this guy out and wonder if anyone else has a dh that would be like this.

 

So.....I've had a cough ever since I had pneumonia...almost 3 years ago. I don't cough all the time....it's maybe not even every day. I seem to notice it more in the morning after getting up. So, anyway....my dh said to me this morning, "Are you getting sick?" I said, "Because of me coughing? No, I've had this cough ever since I had pneumonia." He says, "When did you have pneumonia?" Me: "Uh...like 2 years ago or so." :blink:

 

He didn't ask as in...."Oh yeah....when was that that you had pneumonia?"....it was like, "You had pneumonia?? Really? When was that?" :glare:

 

So tonight he said he was looking this up online and read that a person with a lingering cough after a cold or pneumonia should breathe hydrogen pyroxide. :001_huh: I'll have to read this myself. But, it was nice he was investigating about it. But, before he tells me this he says, "So...how do you know that you had pneumonia?" Me: "Because the x-rays said so." :001_huh: :glare:

 

Wanna know the funny part??? When I got pneumonia I had a terrible pain on my left side. It felt a little better lying down, but I couldn't even sit up the pain was so bad. I pretty much diagnosed myself by saying, "I think I have pneumonia". It was evening and I said, "I think I'm going to go to the ER because I'm pretty sure I have pneumonia." Dh said, "I guess I can drive you there." He drives me there...he comes in...he waits while the doctor checks me out and listens to the insides...he waits while I head down to x-ray...he waits while I wait to get the results...he's in the room when the doctor says I have pneumonia and shows us the x-ray...he's there when the doctor says that normally he would hospitalize me but because I have 3 kids at home he'll send me home, but I need help (indicating dh)...he's there when the nurse has to give me a shot in the butt (very lower back) and she says to him, "you can hold her hand" and he says, "Nah...I'll just wait in the hall." :glare:

 

And he asks me today, "When did you have pneumonia?", "How do you know you had pneumonia?"

 

Really?? :banghead:

[MHowell]

Ahhhh yeah, my hubby gets like that sometimes. Drives me batty. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

[Myeightkiddies]

:grouphug:

 

My dh does that, too, sometimes. He forgets things that I cannot believe he forgets.

 

At any rate, he does care. He went and researched your cough. If he didn't care he wouldn't have bothered or would have forgotten that you said something about it earlier today.

[Miss Peregrine]

Oh, yes. I know the feeling. :lol:

 

Sometimes, I'm just like, "Really? REALLY?"

[Margo out of lurking]

But, before he tells me this he says, "So...how do you know that you had pneumonia?" Me: "Because the x-rays said so." :001_huh: :glare:

 

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh, except I usually figure out a bit earlier to stop talking and pretend I knew all along.

 

Some people feign ignorance. I feign intelligence.

[ondreeuh]

Next time make him do a LOT more work so he won't forget! ;)

 

As an aside, I had a lingering cough for months but didn't feel sick. It mostly affected me in the morning, and it was a slightly productive cough so I was confused. I went to my doctor and she immediately knew I'd been having reflux. Sure enough, within a few weeks of taking meds for the silent reflux, my cough was gone. The acid was irritating my vocal chords but not getting high enough up I could feel it. I would definitely look into that - if it's untreated it can cause scarring.

[dansamy]

My DH completely lost a whole day from our last Disney trip. He doesn't remember the day we spent at the pool, eating dinner at Golden Corral with dessert at Dippin Dots. He's called the rest of us looney and accused us of making it up. :001_huh:

[Cammie]

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh, except I usually figure out a bit earlier to stop talking and pretend I knew all along.

:iagree: This is me too. My memory just lets things go. So I will have to ask my DD - "which leg did you break a few years ago?" I know everyone in the house expects Mom to keep all these details in her head...but I just can't do it!

[Melissa in Australia]

I think it is husbands!

I once had a massive nose bleed, in fact it bled for 24 hours. I almost bled out, I was going into shock when I went to hospital, they bunged me into an ambulance and sent me to Melbourne to have it cauterised. I spent 3 days in hospital, my brother then drove me the 500 km home, as I walked in the door my DH asked me what WHAT I WAS GOING TO COOK FOR DINNER!!!!!

[RegGuheert]

When I got pneumonia I had a terrible pain on my left side. It felt a little better lying down, but I couldn't even sit up the pain was so bad.

When I had pneumonia a few years ago, I don't recall having any chest pains. To me it sounds like you might have also had a case of pleurisy.

 

Yeah, I have a pretty random memory. Some things, even some unimportant things, I will remember until the day I die, but other things get forgotten promptly. I would like to think that I remember all the times I have taken MomsintheGarden to the hospital, but perhaps I do not. How would I know? :tongue_smilie:

[Cassy]

To me that is a very serious memory lapse. If my DH, or any member of my family, forgot something like that, then I'd be quite worried about them. Forgetting small things, yes, but pneumonia is a huge deal. I even remember when my second cousin, who I'm not particularly close to, had pneumonia about 10 years ago, and my memory's not brilliant. Not to sound alarmist, but how old is he?

[Chris in VA]

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh, except I usually figure out a bit earlier to stop talking and pretend I knew all along.

:lol: THis is going to be my FB status today.

[1GirlTwinBoys]

Sounds completely like my DH. Except mine would have stayed and held my hand.;) I can't believe some of the things my DH can't remember.:001_huh: Men are just different, God love em'.:)

[butterflymommy]

My husband once forgot I was pregnant. :001_huh:

[Rhonda in TX]

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh, except I usually figure out a bit earlier to stop talking and pretend I knew all along.

Oh, yes. Me, too. I pretend like I remember all.the.time. DH could soooooo take advantage of that. :tongue_smilie:

[thescrappyhomeschooler]

Oh yeah. About 4 years ago, I had a six-week long episode during which I couldn't move my right arm at all and was in excruciating pain. I had an MRI which showed two herniated disks in my neck. Dh read the MRI report at the time. My mom and one sister took turns living with us to help take care of the kids and do the cooking and cleaning. I had been working outside the house at that time, and ended up quitting my job because of it.

 

Dh remembers none of this. When I recently started going back to the chiropractor for neck pain, he wondered why I was getting so worried about it. I told him I didn't want a repeat of that whole event. He had no clue what I was talking about. He didn't even know that I had herniated disks in my neck.

 

Some men do not retain information that is not pertinent to their immediate existence, I guess.

[AHASRADA]

Some men do not retain information that is not pertinent to their immediate existence, I guess.

 

:iagree: Yes, this. It's the whole "Mars vs. Venus" thing. Women are wired to focus on relationships, men focus on targets/goals.

 

We tend to vividly remember details relating to people and relationships. Men, not so much :tongue_smilie:.

 

I know, totally unfathomable to us, but what can you do? No, I wouldn't get his head examined :lol:, he's just being a man.

[pageta]

At our house, I am the one who apparently forgets things. DH will talk about things we did and places we went - like back ten years ago when we were dating - and I have no memory of it at all. It's embarrassing to say the least.

[2squared]

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh, except I usually figure out a bit earlier to stop talking and pretend I knew all along.

 

Some people feign ignorance. I feign intelligence.

 

This is me too. My memory banks are maxed out, and I have to choose which things don't go into my head. Dh's illnesses don't make the cut, so he'll just have to remember them for himself. At least he can tell the stories over and over, and they will always be new stories for me. :lol:

[Parker Martin]

:lol::lol: I'm sorry for laughing. *I* am your dh

 

Same. In fact, almost this exact same story happened with me in the role of DH. Pneumonia, going to the hospital with him, and not remembering years later.

 

But then, I don't remember my own things either. "What?! When was I sick with that? I don't remember that."

[JMDRAD]

I'm sorry but this thread had my laughing out loud. So funny. My husband actually remembers EVERY medical issue on every person in our family. I, on the other hand, forget everything. Doctor's visit are a riot. I was given a sheet of meds I was suppose to be on and I did not remember ever taking any of them. I told the nurse I had not been to the doctor in years, when in fact I have been there about four times this year. I remember feelings from delivering my three babies but nothing beyond that. I told the midwife I pushed for half an hour when delivering my last but she looked at my chart and said it was three minutes. :tongue_smilie:

[HRAAB]

My dh is the sweetest guy ever. I swear. Just sometimes I'm not sure if other people can see it. :) This sounds like a page out of my book. But on the other hand he has enough on his plate to him keep occupied - physically and mentally. Plus he really has a one-track mind. It used to upset me when we were first married, but now I just laugh at him and say I hope he remembers to come to my funeral. I know he worries about me, but remember stuff like that from the past - not so important for him.

[Mommyfaithe]

He is just a guy. Selective memory. HE didn't have pneumonia....so, it wasn't that important.:glare:

It's nice to have a guys perspective on this. Now if only MomsintheGarden would chime in here we'd really get the true story. :001_smile: :lol:

I thought the same thing. You can forget what I wore 2 years ago or what I made for dinner.....but you forgot I had pneumonia....and you were with me?? Unfortunately I can't blame it on old age/memory loss....he's 48.

 

 

My husband once forgot I was pregnant.

:lol:

 

i'd only be concerned if it were a change from the way it was.

 

both dh and i are "absent-minded". we have a series of checks and balances that get us where we need to be, most of the time. we've been like this since birth, according to our mums.

 

eg. just this week i was sitting beside dh and had an odd feeling he wasn't supposed to be there, so checked my calendar. i said to him "aren't you supposed to be on travel?" he asks: "where?" i say, "i don't know, but my google calendar has you going out monday night and back thursday night". him? "you know, that sounds vaguely familiar". could either of us find anything else? no. so after searching email and finding nothing, we decided to wait and see who called, wondering where he was. this is fairly typical of both of us.

 

last night i pulled up to a darkened dance studio to pick up dd. at which point i remembered it was wednesday, and she was at orchestra.

 

in the significant department, the doctor asked me if i'd ever had skin cancer. pan to confused look on my face. hmmmm..... its possible. i think that's why i'm here. maybe on my shoulder? a few years back? doesn't your computer know? fortunately, the doctor is a kindred spirit, and laughed out loud.

 

it does lead to exceptionally detail-aware children ;)

I'm the same way. It was starting to scare me until I read a few threads here about lots of others having the same issue. I recently couldn't remember DH's and my first date--where we'd gone, how we got there, etc. It was completely gone. DH had to walk me through the evening, and then I remembered. But yeah, AprilMay, I'm a lot like your DH. I'm chalking it up to age and stress.I've also started journaling again, because the memory loss was starting to annoy me!

Yes...age and stress must be a big culprit. I admit I don't have the best memory either....although I WOULD remember if my dh had pneumonia. :lol: Journaling is a good idea (of course, dh would never do that)...to remember important things. Of course, then you have to remember where you put your journal. :001_smile:

[rgrin]

:lol: Guess there really is a silver lining to everything.

 

This gives me hope for my boys, since I'm a total flake when it comes to memory and focus. I'm totally inefficient when it comes to housework. I go to a room for one thing, and can't remember why I went in there, so I go into another room to do something different, and I can't remember why I went in there! My husband just laughs when he sees me standing in the middle of a room looking around. I have to set phone alarms for EVERYTHING, church, dropping off/picking up my son at daycare, starting supper... And I can't tell you how many dinners I've ruined thanks to poor memory and focus! :eek: Some people do Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner at Cracker Barrel for a more relaxing day, less mess in the kitchen, etc. We've got the crazy, hectic morning, expensive food in the trash, and a huge mess in the kitchen, and we've still had to do 4 holiday dinners at Cracker Barrel since we've been married! I'm not allowed to be alone in the kitchen on holidays anymore. :o

[J-rap]

That is funny. On a different note though, have you ever had your cough re-checked? Two of my children have asthma. Before we treated their asthma, they had little coughs all the time. Another thing it could be from is post-nasal drip, which is often worse in the mornings, and is often related to allergies.

[scrapbookbuzz]

It may be a "compartmentalized" thinking guy thing. But, I have also had moments of memory lapse like that. It's just one of those weird things. Do NOT take it as he doesn't care about you. I'm sure that he does! Maybe he, like me, tends to block out traumatic things. ;) It could be, whether it seems like it or not, that you have pneumonia, and all it entailed, was traumatic to him, too, so he didn't want to keep it at the forefront of his brain.

[SailorMom]

Yeah - I've done stuff like that as well.

Looking at the ages of your kids, I'd say it child-exhuastion amnesia.....

we have a timer for that....;)

 

house rule is that if you turn on anything, you turn on a timer next to it, so that when it goes off, one of us will to turn it off, and discover why someone set it....

 

this rule came into effect after one too many toaster oven fires..... the last one happened years ago, and when the smoke detector went off, one of our dds simply closed the family room door to shut out the noise.... sigh...

 

glad to know we are not alone.....

Does the timer remind you that you have to turn the oven ON when you put the turkey in? Does it remind you that the difference between salt and sugar is somewhat significant? Does it remind you (before you dump it) which bowl is eggshells and scraps bound for the compost and which is the casserole mixture? I do use timers A LOT. But, they can't do everything to fix my addled brain. :001_huh:

Your wife's had an almost total loss of memory.

Oh, Annie, please!

 

Annie. Annie.

Right.

 

That's not right. That's not my name!

This is completely crazy! Honey, sit down.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Now... I am your husband.

My name is Dean Proffitt.

We've been married for years.

 

Wait!

I admit I have forgotten numerous things.

But I truly, from the depths of my soul, do not remember you!

Don't you think there'd be some spark of recognition?

 

We don't know.

Maybe you'll spark to this!

 

Ugh! I don't believe this! He could be some stranger off the street!

Well, he seems to like you and he's a nice guy.

He's good-lookin'.

Clean.

What's my full name?

Oh, come on!

 

What is it?

Mrs Annie Proffitt!

What's my maiden name?

Annie... Goolihy.

 

Annie Goolihy? Where in God's name did I grow up? Dogpatch?

 

No, no, not there! Over in Goober, Idaho.

But it's a nuclear waste dump now...

 

Where did I meet you?

 

Hank's Donut World.

Seattle? You hung out there every night

when you were in the Navy!

You remember...

I was in the armed forces?

 

I've still got your postcards from Okinawa...

Stop. The Navy?

Oh, come on, honey! You gotta know! You were in the Navy!

 

No, I don't know! I don't know any of this and I don't know you!

I need some proof!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

This garment cannot possibly be a part of my wardrobe.

Let's forget for a moment that it's a rag,

but it happens to be 12 sizes too large.

It's... It's not that bad.

 

Not that bad?

Well, come on, honey. You gotta admit, you've lost a lot of weight.

 

Huh?

You used to be like a balloon!

 

Was I also shorter?

Yes! Yes, you had a bad back. You walked kinda hunched over, you know?

 

I was short and fat?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Does the timer remind you that you have to turn the oven ON when you put the turkey in? Does it remind you that the difference between salt and sugar is somewhat significant? Does it remind you (before you dump it) which bowl is eggshells and scraps bound for the compost and which is the casserole mixture? I do use timers A LOT. But, they can't do everything to fix my addled brain. :001_huh:

 

:lol::lol: Oh my I made it through the whole thread just giggling until I got to this and then I could not contain myself any further. Just picturing it is hilarious. Would make a great holiday special on a comedy show. :lol:

Rosie, Rosie, you're so smart......

 

Um.....oh, well....it started out good but I couldn't think of a rhyme. Drat! :blushing:

 

If it makes you feel any better....I don't really even know what that word means. I'd have to look it up. :D
