| My Story |
For ten years , I have watched my husband needlessly suffer from pain. I have been an active advocate for him, with a legal medical power of attorney, and began attending appointments about 4 years ago. Sometimes I actually wonder, “why me?”, but then I look at my life and how it provided everything I need to be a good partner and advocate for Clyde. I suffer from pain, was married to a doctor, worked in pharmacies for 15 years, including one at a teaching hospital, have a degree in biology, with a minor in chemistry; I loved microbiology, so I am more familiar than most people about cellular level functioning; and I know what it is like to find myself appologizing for being in pain. That is why I am the perfect person to love, and advocate for Clyde. It is not a question of “why”, but a firm belief in “because I (god) prepared you for this.” |
