Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 : Oh yeah, ARGH! Yesterday my husband told me to stop reading the group letters on the internet, that I am talking myself into getting sick. You see, he has buried 3 wives and I can understand that he doesn't want to acknowledge that I am sick, however, I have been tested and diagnosed and I am not any happier about it than he is. We just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. He has type 2 diabetes.. eats what he wants..(but, will take his pills without my nagging) and whines if he has to get out of his recliner for anything except to pee. He depends on me to put his shoes on and off, drive and do most of the chores. He does like to cook (that is good) except he likes everything fried (that is bad). I absolutely cannot talk to him about how I feel physically or emotionally. Oh thank God for you folks.. Sometimes I feel like a terrible person that I cannot just "grin and bear it" with the IPF. I don't dwell on it (I don't think), but what part of my day, of my life is not changed by this illness, so I cannot leave it behind as though it doesn't exist. Every time I pick up the newspaper that he drops on the floor, or put on his shoes, I wonder what he is going to do if/when I become helpless. Put it out of my mind, I wish I could. God Bless you all.. Gale in TX IPF 10/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
