Even in the best of relationships, a diagnosis of a chronic illness such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disrupts everything. Your world comes undone. All time, energy, and thoughts become devoted to your illness. But what about your partner? What thoughts and feelings have they been experiencing?

Wishing you and yours a wonderful, safe, happy, and healthy holiday season. May 2018 be good to us all. And may we be blessed with good friends like each other for many years to come. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your wonderful post. I recall when Sheryl and I heard we would be facing RA. We went to the car, had a good cry and went one. What else could we do really? Not much really.
