John always knows how to make me feel better.
I’ve mentioned, I think, that today has been a rough day. I try hard not to complain, but John can sense when I am having a hard time.
He is so good about helping me with anything — DOING anything for me. He’ll fix my breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and even asks me if I want a snack. He helps me to bed. His go-to snack for me is pistachio ice cream, which he knows I love. He fixes my sheets that are crumpled up in a pile when I can’t feel my legs. He helps me with so much more to help take the load off. He is the BEST caregiver I could ask for. I honestly don’t know what I would do without him.
This disease is no joke and has taken a lot of independence away from me. Temporarily. I am determined to get back to my regular life, no matter how long it takes.
Until then, I will accept the help offered to me and do for myself when I can.
