Sharing with the wife

[MaryBeth1]

Hello everyone,
Now that i'm on short term leave from work to battle this cancer, Ive been allowed to dress more as Mary Beth. My wife says she loves to have me around the house 24/7 and is enjoying my company. This is a little hard for me as i'm used to work Mon-Fri and sometimes 7 days a week went i'm on call. So now that she allows me to dress more she is starting to borrow my lipsticks and my nail polish and my jewelry (mostly my earrings). She just loves a pair of my heels but they are way to big for here as I wear a size 12 and she wears a size6 but Mary being Mary went on the internet and found her a matching pair. Right before i sent the send button to order she changed her mind as she is unable to wear 4" heals. We can now go shopping together more often when the mall is not as full on the weekday. She is asking about what shade of lipsticks and nail polish goes with outfits and just about things girlfriends would ask each other. Going garage saling today to look for everyday clothes for Mary as she says i can't dress up and wash the dishes and mop the floor dressed in what i was dressed in (ie long skirt and blouse and boots. Will try and send pic. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Although the circumstances necessitating your leave are difficult, it's wonderful to see how your relationship has grown.

CD is therapeutic- seriously. It will relieve (one form of) tension and thus reduce cortisol produced- it will let you body recover faster from treatments.

BIG HUGS... :bighug::bighug::bighug: ...to you and your wife also- I know it ALWAYS helps when my wife seems to get into my CD around the house as well.

Hang in there, and remember, on a bad day, there is always lipstick...

I hope you win your battle and it is nice that your wife realizes the comfort that being your female self,brings you. And as Kristi pointed out,calming is good for your body with this battle going on inside it. All the best for you..

Your wife's understanding is certainly encouraging. Virtual hugs (i.e. prayers) to you to help battle the cancer. I do agree with the feeling that CD can be therapeutic. It is for me. And, probably, work is, as the docs say, "contraindicated" for a healthy recovery. Good luck.

Well, Im sure we all hope for a complete recovery, I do. It's great you and your wife can share the dressing and female side. My wife and I shop together and have great fun doing it.

Thoughts and prayers are with you as well.

What a wonderful supporting wife you have! That is so great to hear. It sounds like you are both having a lot of fun with this.

[Brenda Freeman]

Its wonderful you and your wife can share each others company as girls. Love the thought. I am sure the positive energy will help in your battle with cancer. The mindset and positve energy is an amazing healing machine. Have a wonderful Christmas and a bright New Year

You didn't say what type you have or how far it's progressed, but I do believe that dressing often is going to help de-stress you and as we all know, stress is the last thing you want in your life if you're trying to improve your health. Good luck and I really do hope you beat this terrible disease. I'll be thinking of you.

Dressing is therapeutic and stress relieving, being at home on leave with a wonderful wife will help heaps.
Best of luck with your problem.

MaryBeth....It is great to hear that your wife is being so supportive and by your side...sorry to hear that you have a battle on your hands and I know that everything will go the right way. Have fun shopping and don't forget to give her a real BIG HUG

[stephNE]

Bless you Mary Beth, I'll keep you in my prayers. Merry Christmas to you too.

[Barbara Ella]

I am wishing you and your wonderful wife the best of the season, and hope you both will have a Merry Christmas. I totally agree with the sentiments that dressing is such a stress reliever that it can only be positive for you in your battle. It is so wonderful that your wife is so supportive. I would so love to wear normal work clothes around the house all day. Please give her a great big hug from me.
