thx Cali - so true about butterflies ... and people!
My H has hypothyroidism and dangerously high TSH levels. Serious cognitive impairment. He finally switched doctors in late August to my doctor who immediately put him on a new med protocol. H was supposed to get a blood test mid October to see how new protocol is working. As of Thanksgiving week he had yet to go in. With careful monitoring it could still take a year or more for his TSH to reach normal levels. Blowing off blood tests will only delay that. His coast to coast travel and work stress only adds to the problem. On the one hand, it makes it easier for me to be compassionate. On the flip side, I wonder if I'm just using it as a convenient excuse to justify his behavior. Hard to know. I guess for me I don't want to kick someone when they're down, but hey - I'm not real willing to be the whipping post any more either. It's a tough place for sure, straddling that line between compassion for their very real physical issues and setting healthy boundaries for ourselves. Fwiw, I think you do a great job of it. You're a real power of example. Happy New Year xoxoxo
