Hi Jeanie, I know exactly what your talking about. After my bone marrow transplant when I finally came home I was confined to my bed. I was so weak that Shelly had to drag me into the shower and wash me then dry me off then put me back in my bed. She knew the exact time to have me get out of bed but I tried and couldn't. So what did Shelly do? She would bend my ears off to get out of bed. It got so bad (actually so good) that I figured that it was easier to get out of bed then listen to her.
It takes a determined caregiver like my Shelly to help start the ball rolling again. 18's, Marty On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at 8:06 AM, ICANDOALLTTC via CMLHope <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marty and God Bless you for your brave fight. > I pray for you to get your strength back.
