I have to add how great my kids are too when I'm hurting, they are always caring and helpful. I'm really blessed!
Breaks my heart and makes me so mad when I hear stories of men (or women) who leave their spouses because of health conditions!!

Ahh, how sweet, got to love them.
Mine was a gem yesterday, waiting on me all day. Today back to realaty!
I think we're blessed

That is really sweet Dixie! What a wonderful husband you have, not to mention wonderful kids!

janiecf: how nice of your DH to wait on you all day. Hope you got to kick back and relax!

I am very lucky. My hubby does sooo much for me as he literally takes care of the entire household and runs himself ragged. My kids are awesome as well, always understanding of my situation. I guess that is because they have grown up with these conditions though. I am just so blessed that my kids adapted very well to the situation and do not resent me for the things I cannot do. I am very involved with their lives in every way possible though and have always raised THEM to be close to each other. In fact, just today, my daughter told me that her brother is her "best friend". That put a smile on my face and made me feel good that I had raised them to be close. I just hope they remain that way, always being there for each other.

I wish I had my health and didn't have to be in pain 24/7 and spend most of my life bed-ridden, however, despite all of that, I am VERY BLESSED to have a loving, supportive family. Don't know what I would do without them.

I too feel bad for anyone who has a spouse that is NOT understanding of what we go through. It is a world that they do not understand and I guarantee, a world that they do not want to experience first hand.

Lotsa Hugs,

Carrie

Awww Dixie how sweet he is. We are all lucky to have such wonderful men.
it can't be easy for them.

I'm happy for you ladies who have understanding men.

It is a blessing to treasure ladies. Never take them for granite. (I don't think that is spelled right?)

Too many spouses can not cope and too many people stay in sad situations.

Enjoy your blessing. May they be an example for more spouse to follow,

Hugs-RJ

Oh Dixie, that is soooo true. Our Dh never fail to surprise us. Your's sounds wonderful and I feel bad that I often forget how much mine is there for me.

He does all the food shopping now day's but only because I don't know what to buy since he is eating way too picky with the health thing. But he always brings home something for me and always asks if I would like him to pick up or drive thru anywhere.

I have to say.........it's not because I am crazy for fast food...........it's because I cannot swallow food and I crave it. So he knows I just want to have it in my mouth. He is a dearheart and always bringing home food surprises.

I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish, I wish tonight. I want a DH.

Lucky ladies.

Tendonshurt..........be careful what you wish for. :-}

Muskrattiger, your DH sounds like a true gem. I don't want my DH in the kitchen.......he's like a helicopter...........hovering around. He doesn't know where anything is here. But he will not let me take control when we are at the ranch. I think I'm finally ok with that. I wish you relief from the horrible migrains!

cherry i agree as another single here. it's truly heartwarming when i hear that others have such wonderful spouses. i'm not envious just sharing their joy. maybe i was too much of a control freak to let mine help me. or whatever.

i'm so happy for those of you who have understanding and loving men in your lives! i love hearing such stories!

It's not to late single ladies. I wish for him alot. He's out there somewhere.

Nice to see so many dear husbands who love and take care of you ladies who are in pain or have health problems, I was one of those who's first hubby left due to my pain & illness that the doctors couldn't figure out, now I have one amazing fiance who takes very good care of me and loves me thru my pain & health concerns, we are best friends, lovers and getting married this summer, hats off to these men who love us no matter what, thru sickness & health, God bless you all,
Shorty

Carly's agree. No matter how bad my day is, hate hubby cooking.haha

God bless Shorty, sounds like you have a keeper!!

P.S. Janie.......I hate having Hubby in my kitchen and "trying to cook". That is always a bad day. lol.
