Believe me; I myself have had those thoughts; sometimes a bit scary; but each day I try to give my husband to smile about; maybe enjoy watching a movie on tv; just something for him to have a little enjoyment in his life.

Can't think only of myself. My life is not the only one that changed; No more vacations, nice diners out, so many things we enjoyed together; now lucky if I can get thru a fast dinner restaurant and get home soon; because along with the 24/7 PM pain (on Oxycontin, etc.) I have had rectal cancer almost two years ago (rectum removed; afraid to be too far from my own toilet).

Please; don't be a "jerk" with her. Help her to want to be with you.

Because I care,

Gerry
