PTSD?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - I think

When I was on hemo, there was nothing going on and my fiance was respectful of that but once I got on PD and started feeling better - it changed  Now "I" myself never have a problem, but he has sleep apnea and diabetes and is tired a lot... so, yea.  I'm always up for it (am I the man in this relationship?) but sometimes he isn't.. and even though it shouldn't, it does hurt my feelings. 

Now, I never actually try to do anything while on the machine.. that just seems weird to me.  I do what i gotta do before I start the dialysis, then hook up and go to bed.  So, it always takes a little pre-planning on someones part.  And yes, sense of humor is a HUGE part of having a good relationship... cause shit happens, and if you let it get you down every time - you're going end up depressed.

Amen, sister!  Same here!  I got pissed at the hubby last night over the same thing and ended up yelling, "It's not MY fault that I'm just hitting my sexual peak and yours was 20 years ago!"

RM, I liked and agreed totally with your paragraph about cuddling, spooning etc...Saul gives a """ahem""" fantastic massage and I either go to sleep or enjoy the rest.  He has learned a lot about this disease since I was diagnosed 1.5 years after we met.  Also, I had a fantastic good friend years ago who had diabetes, no legs, 3 failed transplants, on dialysis, scars on top of scars, and blind and he had more women friends than anyone else I knew and not all were platonic.  The brain is a very sexual organ. He never felt sorry for himself and was positive until the end.  My hero.
