Re: Spouses and the Disease

[Guest guest]

Pat,

My heart is breaking for you. We are so geared to nurturing that it

shocks us when we are worried over.

This past year has been hell on my Doug. The 'over' worry started

when he witnessed an attack. I asked him to help me stand up and

get me to the bed. When he tried to lay me down I started

screaming. Lying down during a panc attack is a huge and painful no-

no.

He drives me everywhere. I catch him staring at me. It is weird.

I do not get woken up in the night as I moved to the guest room ages

ago. I notice the separate bedrooms is pretty common for this

group. I have woken up and found him standing over me. The one

time I had a nightmare and was yelling I almost have him a heart

attack.

I think time may help. I can't complain about being loved. I would

complain about getting woken up! Boy do we need our sleep.
