I forgot today was my anniversary. Here it is, 10:00 at night. My husband says, "happy anniversary." How do you forget it's your anniversary? You have a debilitating disease, that's how. I can't believe I forgot it. I forgot to wish my niece a happy birthday this year. I even wrote it on the calendar. If you knew me, you'd know I don't forget birthdays. You only have to tell me your birthday once, I'd remember it always. I am notorious for remembering people's birthdays. Not anymore. My Fibromyalgia's out of control. The pain is more than I can take. The memory loss is more than I can take. Happy anniversary to me. Pouting in bed, been fighting with the hubby all day, listening to my kids killing each other, and realizing I'm losing my mind.
The Fibro Fog jokes are funny to a point. Humor is our way of coping with this ridiculous thing. It's not funny as it's happening to you. It's not funny when you're forgetting people's birthdays. It's NOT funny when you forget you've been married for 8 years today.
I really hope he was able to be understanding and you guys were able to celebrate correctly! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHe always understands. But we're always broke, have too many kids, all that. :) We watched tv, like every other night, then went to bed at our normal early hour. Boy, how are your 10th, 15th, 25th, and 50th supposed to be special when you don't even know where you are? :)
