We had a family barbecue at DD1'S yesterday. Lots of nice food and maybe more drink than normal was taken - not by me as I was driving!

I didn't get to sleep till four am because Dh was thrashing round the bed and talking swearing in his sleep. Normally, I would move bedrooms but the spares were full!!

I told my tale of woe to dh this morning and his reply was a worried,
'oh, dear, I wonder what was wrong with me?' confused

With apologies to all who have no spouse to chunter about and wish they had!

Not while he was sleeping but when he was high on drugs after a heart attack.As we walked into his room he was laughing loudly and called out to us to look at the fantastic colour saturation on that picture..well we were a bit taken aback as there wasn't a picture to be seen...he spent the whole visit telling us about the picture..amazing blacks,great depth of colour,picture sharpness etc etc and eventually asked me to take note of the make and model of the TV in the corner ..sadly it was all in his head.There was no TV in the corner or the room at all.
7 years later and he still remembers it and laughingly says he tried to match that viewing experience when we were shopping for a new TV .Did he succeed ..I'll never know .

When we lived in Spain one of the apartments we lived in was above a bar reached by a spiral staircase just inside the backdoor. One night we were in bed when my OH jumped up, said someone is breaking in downstairs and took off running before I could stop him. A few minutes later he was back somewhat shame faced. He had gone charging down and into the bar, then woke up to realise the bar was still open and he was stark naked!

In my house it's only me that talks in my sleep. I used to wake up my late DH. When I was in hospital, aged 13, I was teased by the nurses and other patients as I was saying stop it to my brother in my sleep and they were saying it was a boyfriend.

Thank you for these hilarious posts that have made me laugh at a very stressful time. Now I have one of my own. Today I visited my DH in Intensive Care after a major operation. He's a bit confused and getting words muddled. He told me he felt a lump moving in his throat so a doctor looked at it and said his uvula was swollen from the breathing tube he'd had in. DH subsequently told two nurses that he was having difficulty swallowing because "my uterus keeps moving around"!

5 years ago, when visiting my husband in ICU, one of his nurses was laughing her head off, saying to him that he`d be getting her into bother. Apparently he asked her what something was, then told us that it was a bo--ock, and the nurse said, "No, I told you it was a POLYP!"
