You wrote that your husband has not asked about his
prognosis and neither have you....now you are wondering if you should...
My heart says no, my dear... I think we would all be better off if we did
not know the statistics, for once we learn them.. we can't help but hold them
somewhere in our sub-conscious... Statistics are just that; numbers on
paper... The 100 people they use for coming up with statistics are
comprised of different ages, sexes, attitudes, lifestyles, eating habits,
exercise habits, personalities, frames of minds, stubbornness, determination,
goals.. etc., (I guess you are getting my drift)...
Anyway, remember that if you don't know what is
expected for you to perform..you don't always do it... It reminds me
of school.. I can remember hearing parents say "my Jimmy is a C
student"... "my Johnny is an A student"... I have always
wondered if Jimmy was a C student because he was told that was what he was... I
think that our minds are a very powerful tool and that we do our best utilizing
that tool when we want to do our best. I think that if there is ever a
time that you need to know the statistics, then your husband will be the one to
ask...
Put all of your effort and love into living each day
with joy and determination.. I know you are a wonderful support and I pray that
someone is supporting you too... May God Bless you both.. Love,
Carla
