Thanks, ladies! He's having his gallbladder removed on 2/2...... I just had mine removed in November. He took both a week off of work and amazing care of me. I plan on doing the same :)

Day 24

Sometimes, no matter what you try to give, it doesn't seem to matter, does it.......Tried smiling and being nice to a woman on the sidewalk today before I went into a printing shop, but she just glared at me, looked down, and kept walking. Yikes.Does that count? I did try :(See More

Why I'm choosing to give:
I've been sick most of my life, so I have never really felt ALIVE. I had surgery in Nov 09 that changed everything. I want to make up for lost time and give of myself to others.
What I'd most like to receive:
Nothing except the feeling that I've done something for another being.

Got on the floor and to the entertainment center to put a movie in for Josh. Because he's so sick, every time he leans/bends over, it makes him sicker/in more pain.

Day 27

My husband is having surgery in a little over a week and our house was getting to be a mess. He was getting claustrophobic. I cleaned the entire house today, and almost all of it was before he got home from work.
