Man, I cannot imagine what the two of you must be going through. Life is so unfair sometimes. I am sorry that your husband suffered such a debilitating stroke! I always dreamed of being the best grandmother, but to tell you the truth, I am not looking forward to my body aging. If you need anyth

Wendy: I am glad to hear that your husband is responding to his treatment! It is so hard living with someone that is in constant pain! I know because my husband was in constant pain too! At least, your husband found treatment and is dealing with it. Until two months ago that is all I had to de

Mary Christine, It's good to hear this from someone on the "other side". My husband has also been struggling to be nice while he's feeling crummy. I can see how chronic pain can cause separation/divorce, although that's not an option for us. We're in this for the long run, chronic pain or not!

trust me, as the one with chronic back pain, it's very frustrating and energy-draining to be on that side of things too! it can really consume you, and you have to work really hard to not take our your frustration on those around you who can't really understand, but want to help. having a sense of

YAY Wendy!  Great to hear that he's doing better and the treatment is working!!   And don't feel too bad about being frustrated with him!  It's hard to deal with people in chronic pain...can be very draining!  It sounds like you're handling it the best you can. Hang in there and do try not to st

LOL! So true! I know all about that groaning and sighing. I thought I was the only one out there with a less than desirable amount of empathy. I've been feeling like a horrible wife, so it makes me feel better to read your post. I guess I'm at least human. Thanks Nina, :) Wendy Your fellow an

Go ahead and complain! I'm so happy to hear your hubby is doing better. It's fortunate that you've found a treatment that is having such good results. Most men have a hard time dealing with being sick or injured. My Dad is the type that loves the attention he gets when he doesn't feel well.
