COULD HE BE COMING AROUND??

If you've read some of my previous postings, aside from the general complaints of RA, I'm been frustrated with the 'indifference' my husband has shown since I was diagnosed.  Brace yourself....I think he's coming around!  yahooooo!! He's been more 'patient' with me and does things for me with out complaining.  The most remarkable thing he's done is making sure I'm covered at night.  One night, I just happened to be awake (surprise, right?) and I felt him reach over, and feel if I was covered or not. I like to keep the covers on so my joints stay warm, and he pulled the covers up for me (I don't have the strength to do that) and tucked them all around me.  I almost cried! I was so touched.  He's done this every night since.  So I guess that means he's not sleeping. I did finally mention this to him and told him that I was very touched.  I think it made him feel really good about it, that now he's doing more to help me, and assuring me that he'd take care of me!  WOW! 

     As you can see from my pic, I ride a motorcycle. Before he'd roll his eyes if I couldn't go on a ride because I couldn't squeeze my clutch or bend my fingers around the throttle (as if I just didn't want to try).  Now he'll ask if I'm up to riding.  He even offered to put his 'passenger' seat on his bike so I could ride bi*ch!  He doesn't care to have passengers, but he knows how much I love to ride.  awwww....he DOES care.  I'm not sure he's done any more reading online about this crappy disease, but he seems to realize that this is for real, and we're stuck with it and from what I'm getting from him, TOGETHER.  I'm feeling alot more positive now about dealing with RA, although I still have my moments but I'm learning to talk myself through the pain and now knowing that I don't have to worry about being perceived as a big baby, it allows me to focus on getting thru the rough patches.  Thank you Husband.  He will be my rock after all!  <3  Desiree
