Super User A-Jay Posted September 4, 2022 Super User Share Posted September 4, 2022 Incurable diseases are ruthless. They never let up. There's never a break. Just beating us down every single minute of every single day. They only seem to compound and get worse. Wife's been battling with several for over 22 years now. Don't know how she does it. Modern medicine is at a loss. Feels like us against the world. My cup is getting dangerously full. Good thing winter's on it's way.' That should make it better.

Super User Hammer 4 Posted September 4, 2022 Super User Share Posted September 4, 2022 Keeping you guys in our thoughts and sending some mighty hefty Prayers your way. My wife Dee, is declining, can hardly stand without help. Lucky for us, we have what I consider the Best Son on earth, at 6'7" and 300 lbs, he lifts her up with ease, which make life much easier on all of us. The Best to both of you Andy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted September 4, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2022 Mine was cure able obviously because I’m still here. Nonetheless cure able or not it takes a mental role on a person. I was 19 and lived life more than most my age at that point. I saw kids in the childrens hospital that didn’t stand a chance that lived every day like it was their last and some of which were their last. Kids are pretty incredible humans. Maybe it’s the innocence or the immaturity but their pretty incredible regardless. It probably the ladder that gave me the strength to pull through. Regardless of your age a little family immaturity goes a long way to boost the human spirit. I’ve yet to be on the opposite side of things so I can’t help there. I don’t know Lynn personally but from what I’ve seen she has one helluva a spirit and personality, so feed off from that my friend. Stay strong Andy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User A-Jay Posted September 4, 2022 Author Super User Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thank you all, I am a big time internalizer when it comes to coping skills. May not be the best but it's how I do it. Eventually the overwhelming reality busts through and it just hurts. I'm ok, but truely hate the feeling. Every chance you get, Hug your love, hard.

Super User BrianMDTX Posted September 4, 2022 Super User Share Posted September 4, 2022 I get you. My wife has had MS for over 18 years. Worked as an RN and in all that time, only missed one day of work. One day in 17 years. But she had a bad reaction to her 2nd Moderna shot which exacerbated her symptoms to the point she had to stop working and retire at 55. She’s tough as nails but breaks down often in tears. It’s hard when husbands can’t “fix” things. There’s no fix. It is a daily struggle for them and us. More for them, but still, we struggle as well. I wish you both well. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted September 4, 2022 Super User Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm at a loss for words A-Jay. I can't offer you wisdom I can't offer you medical help And I can't offer you a cure The only things I can offer is hope and prayers. I hope for a healthy solution and prayers for speedy results. Be strong mi amigo. John 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankin4Bass Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Chronic diseases are so tough. It's hard when you are used to being the rock in the family and you feel powerless to help.
