Annie,

Glad as well it is not only me feeling as you do. I am Davids caregiver 24 hours a day. It is tough watching him go through this. He too has told me I hover too much. Some times as Jam says he just needs his own thoughts. But I know he knows I am right there.

He has been very rel;uctant to really accept al this thinking he will not go through what others have. He did not read the material and information I have found here to help. As we all go through this you think you understand when they say you will have pain here, you will have this and that you will have these symptons but in DAvids mind it did not all register and truly he did not think it would happen to him. I now p[rint and read the information even if he is just watching TV and not in comunicative mood I just read to him. This has really helped I think. He will stop and even ask questions and many times he has said he did not really think this how the pain would go this how exhausted he would be. But it has been good for him to know others are going through. He is not the only man going through this and all are having different but same issues and most of all it is OK.
