We all need to take time for ourselves as well on occasion and take a break from "cancer", even if only for a day.<br />Don't misinterpret..I'm sure Martin is like myself...so blessed to be right there providing love and support to his better half.<br />Martin, you are terrific! Enjoy your time off and recoup. Honestly, I don't know how you have managed with work and being such a great caregiver to Jane. <br />Then again, that's been the secret to Jane's great progress - having such a devoted and caring husband and family by her side...what a blessing!!!<br /><br />Take care of yourselves folks....you are a terrific couple and such an inspiration to all of us!!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142269730831125703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-53832154143456519502010-05-19T20:12:11.217-07:002010-05-19T20:12:11.217-07:00Dearest Jane,

How...I think the previous posters have said it all. However putting it from a mans perspective I suppose we have been brought up to be the provider/protector and when things dont go to plan we do not like to admit failure by seeking help. However there are times when we ALL need help and its good that Martin has managed to get some time off to recharge his batteries.<br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909863530971229124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-58794208999828052682010-05-19T12:41:20.656-07:002010-05-19T12:41:20.656-07:00I am so so glad that Martin has been string enough...I am so so glad that Martin has been string enough to go and visit the Dr. good on him.

None of us like to admit we need a little help, we just battle on don't we? You two just need to focus on each other for a while and i am glad the Doc has given Martin time to do that.<br />Big Love<br />Jaynee XFunnyfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087878598933622221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-11202877640637914222010-05-19T10:43:46.176-07:002010-05-19T10:43:46.176-07:00SERIOUSLY... have these people no compassion at al...SERIOUSLY... have these people no compassion at all? You would think they would be concerned about an employee with a seriously ill wife! I'm glad he is getting a break and I will pray that God will meet all your needs - financially, emotionally, physically. Thanks again for allowing us to share this journey with you, Jane!<br />God Bless!<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177522637630437113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-63327794188337612982010-05-19T08:19:14.972-07:002010-05-19T08:19:14.972-07:00I'm pleased Martin has been signed off.

It is for the best all round.<br />Now you can both have some quality time together.<br />Some people pooh pooh stress! It is real and can be a killer. My husband had a heart attack in the middle of my chemo through stress.<br />At least your Martin can now wind down and concentrate on you.<br />And himself too.<br />God bless you both. You deserve this little bit of happiness and break from everything on the outside that was taking over.<br />Much love and prayers.<br />Jeanie xxxxxJeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120751027760312414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-76035402101426823162010-05-19T01:41:56.888-07:002010-05-19T01:41:56.888-07:00Karen in Ottawa,has said it so well Jane ,it wont ...Karen in Ottawa,has said it so well Jane ,it wont hurt for Martin's employers to see how much he does ,only his absense from work will prove that point ,take care of each other ,Love Jan xxJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887084136241374777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-47119517941865022012010-05-18T17:05:12.258-07:002010-05-18T17:05:12.258-07:00good for Martin to get the time off work - that is...good for Martin to get the time off work - that is essential for both of you - to have this time together to adjust to your latest situation, to help each other, to love each other. I hope he is strong enough to completely leave work behind for a while - in the bigger picture, it's only a job - spending time with you is much more valuable. he has to remind himself every day that both you and he need to spend your time as best you can together, so in future you & he can look back and honestly say 'no regrets'. living life with that in mind makes the picture so much clearer. hugs to you both.karen in ottawa canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303338293872950955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518841396636707793.post-5789709375021547892010-05-18T16:46:28.189-07:002010-05-18T16:46:28.189-07:00AWW JANE..
