That feeling of helplessness. No matter what you do, say, make, bake, cook, what oils you use, anything. It just seems to be beating up your husband. He stays home from work, which I do love that he is home with me, but not like this. He is so weak, lack-luster, and lethargic. It makes me so sad that I can’t just FIX it right away. I have been administering Essential Oils and that is most definitely helping, healing is obviously time needing. He knows he should eat, but nothing tastes like anything. He knows he should drink fluids, but doesn’t feel like it. I just keep kindly and gently reminding him that I can help prevent him from getting dehydrated, but once he is dehydrated, it will not be as ‘simple’ as keeping hydrated in the first place.
When you have an active husband that has a physically demanding job, and even when he is not ‘at work’ he is still working, who gets sick and can no longer be that ‘go-go-go guy’… He does not take to sitting or laying around very long in the easiest way. I will add that his idea of ‘very long’ is longer than an hour. Which I am so thankful for. We most always have something going on. Whether it is welding projects, re-wiring something, providing custom builds, or work around the house, we have an unending supply of things to keep us busy!
Games are a good pass time, usually. Clue, Scrabble, Life, Connect Four, and so on. That is a good started list!
I made him soup, grilled cheese, crescent rolls, had him drink Ginger Ale and lots of water. I used OnGuard essential oils, Breathe, and lemon. He recovered after 3 days. I am thankful that I did not get it.
