I came down with COVID in the afternoon of the morning in which I received a booster in November 2021. I have a list a page and a half long of things that I have dealt with and are dealing with. I understand what it is like to not be believed. My primary doctor was almost in tears a year and a half ago when he looked at me and said, I have no idea what else to do for you. It was helpful to know that he cared. I think our spouses care also, but they are like our doctors, and ourselves if we are honest, they don't know what to do either. I don't think it is helpful to call them idiots or claim they don't care. If you think about it you are not the person you used to be and this doesn't only impact yourself, it impacts them also. My wife and I have put things on hold or canceled future plans because of me. This isn't fair to either of us, but understand that they are not married to the same person they used to be. You may not feel like being as intimate as they would like to receive or need to receive from you. I know I've had to decline things when my head is spinning like or top, or I can't keep food down, etc. Just saying it maybe good to have a sit down honest and open conversation regarding how this is impacting the other person as well, and then pray together afterwards.
