Have been visiting this forum, since DH (Dear Hubby) was diagnosed in March. On April 10th Dr removed 5 tumors. Pathology: aggressive, superficial. Since then he has been (off&on) bleeding & passing clots (as of Monday, Dr says that's "normal" - he is on blood thinner due to afib. Quintuple open heart bypass in March of 2011). He has frequency - almost hourly, 24/7. He is on a med that has helped a bit. BCG will begin in 3-4 weeks.
That's a bit of history. On to the "problem"...
He watches TV. Goes to the bathroom. Plays games on computer. Goes to the bathroom. Sleeps in his recliner. Repeat.
He's big guy & has always loved preparing & eating food. Now - not so much.
I try to be upbeat without going overboard. We talk about the positives & he has a strong Christian faith.
Is there a way to encourage him? What did your spouse do that helped you the most? On nights when he doesn't feel like going to bed, I sleep on the floor nearby. What can I say - after bring married 38 years, we are best friends & we love each other.
I appreciate all ideas & suggestions. Thank you!
