Honey, I don't get ANY anniversary gifts. Alan (during the first 20 years of our marriage) had entitlement issues. I think he even has Aspergers.

But he's a much more different fellow now. He appreciates me and what I do for him. Until a gift giving occasion comes up. He is absolutely not comfortable on these occasions. But I don't let him off the hook. He is learning, slowly, HOW TO BE A GIVER AND NOT ALWAYS A TAKER.

Now as to his health issues. Well, he was fine till 17 years ago when he got his first taste of neuropathy. Been a slow very slow way to his diagnosis.

The psoriasis developed about 12 to 15 years ago. (I just asked him and he said: "AAgh, who the heck can remember, must be 12 to 15 years).

We went everywhere and tried it all. I think his immune system just got overwhelmed, or whatever happes to immune systems when they are compromised).

So we just treat the symptoms. Hopefully the Vitamin E will help a bit.

Will update.

You take care
