Re: out of the hospital...again,



LOL, oh man that was great. Believe you me I did a happy dance. I am
still doing it to some extent. Chris has always been supportive of me
and what is going on. He just struggled with the main part of all of
this, the medication. He had a certain belief about how it would be,
should be and could be and the doctors tried and tried to tell him his
bubble was a bit out of wack. It took this hospitalization to make
him realize what it was doing to me and our relationship. I am
greatful to him though he had a hard time understanding all of this.
I don't blame him or am I not surprised. It isn't an easy thing to
see someone you love dealing with pain, being helpless to do anything
or them or the pain and having no control what so ever. I will tell
him what your husband does and see if he is willing to do it. I can
bet though that getting to know another one of my pain friends isn't
on his list. He doesn't like to talk to anyone new and them being
someone who understands what I am dealing with is even harder for
him. He is just antisocial in that respect.

Things are still pretty good but they are not always easy even now. I
am flairing every so often as well and that makes things hard.
