I don't believe that I could have been as good as a CG as my wife but I do believe that I was a better patient than my wife would have been. Now I was a pretty bad patient but my wife is far more stubborn than I could EVER be which is why in my opinion she was a great CG.

Nelie, as a male patient I didn't come to this site for social support, although it's a definite benefit. I came for education, knowledge and answers which was even better than I could have imagined.
