Title: Just a bad day
Post by: Icare on August 12, 2013, 04:09:04 AM

Just overwhelmed today with watching all the pain and discomfort Connie is going through :banghead;. It is another drop in her health, ability to walk and breath. I praise God everyday I have her, Still it is difficult to watch her in such pain. I know Im rambling but just needed to vent! Glad and thankful for everyone on this site. :thx;

Hang in there. She needs you!!! It is hard to watch your spouse suffer. I have been there plenty too. Just keep taking care of her and let her know you will always be behind and in front and with her through this. Best of wishes.

We are glad you are here too, to vent your frustrations. We all do it from time to time. It is so hard to watch a loved one suffer. I am glad she has you.   :flower;

Caregivers are the best!  Thank you for doing what you do for Connie.  I am sure she appreciates it!  As a patient, I am not always good at telling my hubby how much he means to me and that I realize it is hard for him.  We become rather self-centered in dealing with all the medical stuff.  Know that when we don't say it, we think it and love you for it.  Hope things get better soon!  Sending hugs and prayers for you both!   :grouphug;
