>>> he wanted to look like a "big-shot" by being the one to remember. But I don't know what I can do now? Maybe try one of our old experiments for him like lunch or movie - I don't know. I don't think I'm well enough.
My wife routinely forgets anniversaries, etc., and it can be kind of fun to be the one who remembered. I often try to make it a surprise of some kind. I do feel a bit bad about her forgetting, but I also like being the "big shot," so I understand your T's remark. Believe me, accepting the flowers is all you needed to do for him to feel good about it. Did you smile? Did you tell him you like them? That's the payoff for him.
Definitely do not push yourself to do something near or beyond your abilities and desires!
