We are sick sick sick sick and we feel bad bad bad bad because WE want to do more in life and we are so grateful grateful grateful when we have a spouse who doesn't rub it in or bring up the fact that we aren't earning money, that we aren't contributing, etc. Who supports us 100% that we are doing the best we can and provide an optimistic voice. Optimism is about the most pushing I can take at this point. It's not lack of attention, it's the kind of attention. Some people aren't so lucky to have spouses like this.
Thanks for clarifying your position. I only pray that you will never understand where we are coming from.
Oh yeah, we also have relatives who put us down for thinking about health/illness so much and when I am feeling down with my newly found liver anger, I think, "Well excuse me for trying to save my life with the last of the energy I have before it is just too late."
