Dislocated Shoulder -- Relationship Realignment

While hiking a steep mountain trail on vacation in Acadia National Park in Maine, my foot found the only rock with slime on it. I went down with a bang and dislocated my shoulder.
Richard and I had to hike back up to the road and hail a ride to the local hospital. Now, I've known pain, years of it. But this pain was a new taste treat and had me groaning and cursing and counting down the seconds until the nurse dripped some morphine into my vein, and then some more.
They were able to relocate my shoulder fairly easily and with that, the pain subsided.
Richard was by my side throughout -- helping me hike to the road, holding my stuff, sitting by my bed in the hospital. He was present and hugely helpful. And as the days passed and I had to learn to meet the world left-handed, he continued to be responsive to my requests for assistance and to problem solve.
He was wonderful, but I felt alone and wanted more -- and illegitimate for feeling greedy when he was trying so hard.
What was missing for me was overt empathy. At the same time I worked to be independent and do it all myself, I was a wounded bird who just wanted to be sheltered and babied. I did my best to tie my shoelaces one-handed while trying to ignore my yearnings to have my needs anticipated without speaking them aloud and to be cuddled and coddled and told that it would all be OK.
After a few days, I could no longer sustain this inner tension. I was growing weary of the strain and resentful of Richard's helpfulness without emotional empathy. We finally had a talk.
I tried to tell him what I was missing without blaming him for not providing it. I cheered his efforts at practical support and told him, as explicitly as I could, that I both accepted him and loved him, and still felt the sadness of not getting the kind of loving my injury had awakened.
He listened. And he tried to give me more emotional support. When he saw me struggle to wrap my sling around my shoulder he said to me, "I am so sorry you're having to go through this. I wish I could make it all better." His saying that made it far better for me than any attempts to help me adjust my sling.
The more I thought about the specifics of my current situation, the more I realized that the condition of being in a close relationship periodically involves the existence of a gap between what you get and what you feel you want. The gap of life.
The tricky part is not to deny the reality and legitimacy of your wants; while at the same time not punishing your partner for not fulfilling them and (and this is the trickiest bit) accepting him, with love and gratitude, for who he is and for staying in the conversation with you.
To hold both the love and the sadness, and sit side-by-side in the gap of life, together.
Do you know what I mean?

What Do You Do When Illness Makes Sex Impossible?

What do you do when your partner is no longer interested in or capable of sexual intimacy with you?
Illness takes many tolls, on both partners. One of them is too often sexual intimacy. Medications, pain, and exhaustion can not only turn a libido off, but it can also make intercourse painful for the ill partner. The well partner may be just too drained after a long day of caretaking, working, caring for the kids, and running the household to want anything more intimate than falling asleep side-by-side. And the shift illness produces in some partner relationship -- turning a bond of equals into one of caretaker - patient -- can make sex feel like a taboo.
For some couples, their sexual connection had always been a source of joy that filtered into the rest of the relationship, making it glow. For other couples, sex was routine and its effects remained in the bedroom. For others, sex was never a strong part of the connection.
Whatever your pre-illness sexual habits were, illness too often disturbs them. Intercourse may no longer be possible. Even touching can be problematic. Some couples whose sexual experiences were mainly physical, now find they actually have to talk about what feels good and what doesn't.
Through talking about sex, couples may find themselves entering surprisingly deeper levels of connection, and describing desires that before illness were invisible.
Some couples find ways of being intimate without intercourse. Some are able to stay connected without any form of physical intimacy. Some break apart. Some partners seek sex outside of the relationship, with or without the knowledge of their partner. (note: for the sake of safety and integrity, I would recommend that this be discussed between the partners).
I'm interested in hearing about your situation. Has your sexual relationship changed? How have you managed to deal with illness and physical intimacy?

Live long and prosper.

Live long and prosper the natural healthy way. So what are the golden rules to living a long life. Well I would say first, Don't smoke. Smoking will reduce the amount of time that you live. Keep alcohol to a minimum. Eat a varied diet, and don't eat too much. When eating make sure you include lots of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have a breakfast as this is the most important meal of the day. Take a good quality multi vitamin and mineral tablet each day. Exercise every day, you may be a member of the gym. If you are then that is great if not then you will have to make sure you walk quickly for at least 30 minutes per day. Enough to bring yourself to a sweat. Follow this guideline every day and you should live long and prosper.
I would just like you to know that I don't practice what I preach. Yes I don't smoke, but I do drink alcohol, more than I should. I don't have enough fruit. I have to force myself to eat it. I like vegetables, but don't get enough. I eat the wrong foods, I know, and I don't exercise enough. I do walk every day, but not enough. I would think what I do is about average, with all my readers, am I right?. Please feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you.
