I know that it is for the best, and they did a fantastic job in the run up to Christmas. I'm sure that they will do well by him again.

But this is the killer.

I have a day in a Day Spa booked for Wednesday, so he delayed going for 2 days so that I can still go.

I've never loved him as much and never wanted to slap him silly so much.

As it happens I think we can still arrange thing so that he can go early.

But what did I ever do to deserve such a wonderful man? And how shitty is life that such a good man should have such a disease and be in such pain?

My dad is in a hospice at the moment and I can not speak highly enough of what they have done for him.He is now mobile again and his pain is under control - more than we ever hoped for.

Your DH does not want anyone else's life to be disrupted. They will do their stuff.
He wants you to be happy.
He is doing what he can for you to repay you for what you do for him.
Say thank you and give him a huge hug.

Blandmum · 11/04/2008 18:38

He always has been bloodyminded.

Its is more than half of the reason that he is still with us, tbh

The important thing is that he knows you appreciate him. And he knew this before he was ill, didn't he? You have filled that man's life with love and appreciation.

When I was diagnosed with cancer and I didn't know what was going to happen to me I was truly grateful that I had had 10 wonderful years with my DH, that I had known true love and appreciation in my life, because there are many people who never do.

I am sure your DH would do anything for you, because you have given him this wonderful gift.

I've read but don't think I've posted on your threads before Martian but may I just say this:

You deserve this wonderful man because you have given him so much, and he surely appreciates you as much as you do him?

I imagine he feels there is not much he can give you at the moment and he wants to give you something.

Hoping they get DHs pain sorted very quickly. And - A Spa Day - how lovely .

ShinyPinkShoes · 11/04/2008 18:49

I just sorted myself out after reading your OP MB and now Anorak's has started me off again

Your DH is without a doubt an incredibly special, considerate person MB- but then so are you x

Amapoleon · 11/04/2008 18:51

You are all making me blub. What a wonderful gesture your dh has made.

TheApprentice · 11/04/2008 18:59

Your op made me go all shivery....

Hope dh gets the pain sorted and that you manage to go on spa day and have a relax.

Pinkchampagne · 11/04/2008 19:07

What a lovely man your DH is, MB. I hope he gets the pain sorted.

dejags · 11/04/2008 19:25

Sorry to hear that your DH is struggling so with the pain MB. I hope that he gets sorted soon in the hospice.

What a wonderful man you have in your life!

ChocolateRockingHorse · 11/04/2008 19:28

Love and hugs to both you and your love DH MB. Hope they get his pain sorted soon.

Anorak how are you? Is there a thread I can peruse for an update?

fairylights · 11/04/2008 19:32

i am also welling up, what a wonderful man married to such a wonderful woman. Life is indeed unfair..
hope the hospice can really help.

trulymadlydeeply · 11/04/2008 19:36

I think you deserve each other, MB. So much love between you ...

Feel very that he needs his pain sorting again. You are both so brave (I know there's no choice, but still ...)

Have a lovely day at the spa.

Love to you all,

xxx

anorak · 11/04/2008 21:13

Much better thanks chocolate - on milder chemo drugs now.

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 11/04/2008 21:18

Hope he gets his pain sorted out quickly.

policywonk · 11/04/2008 21:26

Hope the hospice does the business for him MB.

Elibean · 11/04/2008 21:27

You two deserve each other - well picked, the pair of you (watery too).

I so hope the hospice helps as much as last time, xxx
