When Health Is More Important Than You Realize
My Husband sat around in his recliner watching TV all day, every day. He sat and used "Little Man" and I as servants to get him things and do everything for him. The crazy part was that I had started a business, so I was trying to run my business, do all shopping and chores, and take care of every detail of household stuff while he sat around and told me what to do and that I was doing everything wrong!
With all of the sitting, smoking, and complaining my husband was was doing with this new lifestyle he had adopted; it wasn't long until he started having health problems. I tried to buy and make healthy foods, and even gave him supplements that he wouldn't take most of the time. After how he was treating me, I'm not even sure why I cared.
My husband started getting kidney stones one after the other. Then he was diagnosed with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder). The doctor told him to stay on oxygen full time, and gave him prescriptions to help him breathe. I am an herbalist, so I wanted him to try to heal his tissues to regain his health. He wouldn't listen to me. It didn't help that his older son was an EMT turned Paramedic. He thought the sun rose and set in his oldest son's butt! "Little Man" even felt inferior because his dad kept telling him he should be like his older brother! The sad part was that my husband did everything his oldest son told him to do medically. His son knew how to save a life in an emergency, but he certainly wasn't a qualified doctor or surgeon! My husband's health just kept getting worse year after year.
Lesson Learned: Sometimes people put their faith in one person who doesn't always know what's best for them.
