Thank you God for providing our bungalow near my parents. I keep going asking God for strength and courage because I know Jesus is with my husband and I. He's really poorly but somehow he managed to drive to our council bungalow. It's breaking me inside to know my husband can't do much these past few days. I ask God to lift him to heaven when he's had enough. I keeping believing in the future.

Bumping this up, knowing the less Happy is on here, the harder it is for her and Rod.

God bless you Lynn. Yes I'm realising that I'm stronger than Rod. I see that Rod does not realise my own heart. I'm so thankful to be near my family, my mother can see now why I get stressed, because of Rods behaviour. It's tough, because he doesn't want help. But I'm trying everything. I have made another appointment for him tomorrow to talk to a good nurse at the doctors practice. The nurse I saw today was concerned for myself. She said I can talk to macmillan nurses by myself. I said Rod doesn't want them. But hopefully it will be arranged outside the home. He gets very upset but he doesn't realise I need emotional support.
 
Happyface you are so right in identifying your need for support and yes MacMillan nurses can provide that. I will be praying for you and Rod and am thankful that you now have a bungalow closer to your family.

Love is the greatest. You've given so much of it to him, the will to live, and he even drove.
May our Lord Yahweh, Adoni give him time with you, and I pray you will be at peace, when it's his time to rest from the struggle's of it all. God be with you both. In Jesus name.

Terrifying when it hits you that you have just been appointed as "the strong one," when you've been used to being the weaker one, isn't it?

Do keep remember the strength comes for the Lord, not you. The only thing that kept me going many days.
 
My husband had been up turned on me even throwing cushions at me for watching soaps on TV. I don't have any outlets. He's really angry. I feel it's his illness and his way of dealing with it. Yes he name calls he's hard work. I really appreciate if he finds peace. I've been so faithful but he doesn't see it like others.
 
Yes I think God sees. My husband is poorly I know and I trust you Im doing my best. It's like he's very intolerance towards me. He even hurt my arm just because I rang my dad about retuning a TV. He said I made him feel useless in front of my dad. I am stressed at things but I'm strong with God. He can be like Sargent major being correct and he does not realise I find him hard to be around just recently. It's hard looking after him. Ive always prayed for peace for my husband. Because I feel he's never been at peace in his life. He worries to much about what others think of him to much.
 
I'm just now seeing this, Happy. I'm so glad you got the bungalow.. :)

I pray the Lord shows Rod my heart. I ask God to soften his heart towards my deafness and my disability. All I want is respect. But I'm faithful to my husband in many different ways he doesn't see. Yes I'm emotional tonight but I continue to get through this.
 
Rod is struggling to think, he basically battling to understand why he's so weak. Life isn't easy because he says the doctors won't be able to help him I pray to God that Rod meets his maker.
 
Hi Lynn and everyone, After waiting in the doctors waiting room for nearly an hour Rods name was finally called on screen. Rod was very agitated and poorly, but thank God I saw the nurse I wanted to see called Karen. She has referred Rod to the palliative care nurses and explained carefully to Rod that having them will speed things up if he needs any help with the stent he had fitted. We don't know for sure what is causing he peeing issues at night. Poor Rod hadn't slept in weeks at night due to getting up every hour to pee. But I'm so relieved He's finally agreed to have the palliative nurses sort it all out. It's just like an angel has come down and taken care of care of Rod my husband. I was talking to my cousin the other day and he said his wife's dad went abit nasty whilst he was poorly before he died, it's like a independence thing, and this explains Rods behaviour towards me. Yes I admit he was difficult and even hurt my arm, but I guess his brain wasn't right. I hope Lynn and blue_ladybug are sees this, it's just out of respect I wanted to share what's going on. So hopefully we won't be waiting to long for the nurses to come. Prayers all the way. God bless you all. X
 
'The just shall live by Faith'...

if, in the immediately outcome of your 'caring and sharing and bearing',
listen to your Holy Maker, and He will give you the peace and strength
that you need in order to be the very best minister that you can be...

leave yourself alone and just 'listen' and 'obey' what Jesus tells you to do...
 
The palliative nurse gave John hope I hadn't even known he lost, but what John went through and what Rod is going through is totally different.

And John's bathroom issues have to do with the traditional cause enlarge prostate, which happens to all guys if they live long enough. He has urinal bottles near bed, so he doesn't have to get up. Frankly, I worry he'll fall back to sleep in the middle of going, but hasn't happened yet. lol

I am glad Rod is actually seeking help.
 
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
 
My husband is up all through the night he blames me if I don't answer him. I have to sleep in a separate bedroom. I pray he gets help soon. He's very cynical about myself and everyone. I pray we get the help from nurses soon. I don't want to get poorly with my illness schizophrenia. It's hard but I'm being strong with God's help. Amen
 
My prayers are getting answered. Today a nurse and doctor came out. Rod had a assessment for his needs. From Monday a district nurse is coming to see to Rod. And then more help. I cried because I know God heard my prayers.
