I'm sorry to hear about the rough time you and oggy have had but am glad to hear things are looking up and how well you all are handling it. I've been in a much similar place with Bill. I tend to run gung ho into treatment, ect and occassionally lapse in recognizing that he may be feeling a bit scared or overwhelmed. Case in point last week...Bill has been doing so well with the new shot and now they've added the testosterone gel and I even talked him in to going walking with me every evening...at least a mile. It may not seem like much but for him it's a start. Then what did I do...I start talking about his cholesterol and how he should watch how much fat he eats and eat more veggies ect. He pretty much got feed up and told me to back off. Then I realized in my efforts to "help" I was not factoring in his need to settle in with each new step in treatment. I hope this makes sense. After we back off from the mad emotions he explained that he did plan to watch his diet and he was doing everything he could but to give him a little time and space. After all he's drastically cut back on sugar in his diet and was walking and doing the gel and shot...all in the space of about 3 weeks. I explained to him that I just wanted him to be healthy so we could spend many many more years together. There are times it is so hard to just sit back and let the doctors and the patient handle things when all you want to do is jump in and "fix" everything. No one, patient or family or friend likes the powerlessness that these illnesses leave us feeling so we try to "control" them. What can I say..we are all human. However, understanding that...a little blow up now and then is not neccessarily a bad thing. Everyone gets to vent and cry or yell and release those emotions we try so desperately to control. Ok, I have rambled on enough and am stopping now...hehe. Please know that you and your son are in my thoughts and prayers as are everyone that has been so helpful and supportive on this board. Your friend, Annetta |
