I hear you both! My husband retired in 1995 (and I quit working in 1994), and has had several physical problems since then (2 joint replacements and 2 separate cancers), and I despaired of ever getting alone time. Fast forward to mid-2010 and up until now ... I am a full-time caretaker for him since his problems have become so much worse. We're hoping surgery Friday ... putting cement in his 3 compression fractures in his back, will put him finally on the road to recovery, except right now his rheumatoid arthritis is the worst it's ever been. To me, excitement is going to the store. Connie > > After hubby retired, I'm like you, I would get tired of him being > underfoot all day.
