--Coming back from the bathroom to find your wife sitting up clutching her pillow sweating like crazy is a scary experience when it first happened. But when I found out it was a symptom of menopause it didn't make it any less scary just a little more understandable. About the only thing I could do was rub her back in a effort to try and make her feel better while the hot flash tormented her.
--After awhile our bodies seemed to sync to the point the hot flashes happened while I was up going to the bathroom. So we would make a night of it. I’d throw in a few old movies that usually make us feel better and have a couple of cups of coffee while I rubbed her back. Trying to make her feel better.
--Oh I’m pretty sure she has a few during the 2 hour stretch’s when I’m sleeping. And even though I’ve told her to give me a nudge and I’d rub her back, she just rides them out letting me sleep. Because that's the type of person she is.
--It probably doesn't seem like much but in away I think we both enjoyed the closeness of a rather nasty obnoxious experience by trying to turn it into a positive one. Sometimes that's the only way to maintain what little sanity you have in this crazy old world.....
