I have noticed the opposite in my husband who has battled cancer, Covid, sepsis, pulmonary embolism and heart valve replacement in the last 5 years.
He is less organized and seems to be “letting the pieces fall as they wish”
I guess that’s how he has survived through all the illness. Of course, I have been there to pick up where he left off so now we are both learning how to be collaborating partners. It’s been quite a struggle and fortunately my health has held up so I can provide support for him. At times, I remember all the scary trips to the hospital and the agonizing days watching him fight for his life, but I am getting better at figurtively putting all of it back in a locked drawer and choose to live forward. It’s just life and today is a good day because we are not battling health issues!
