Josh's GI Jane
HOME AGAIN

Time for healing and Josh has arrived on my doorstep=no apologies-he’s broke and so he insinuate himself in my household It’s just a matter of time before things blow up but in the meantime there is no money, no sources other than me.Josh has always been an advocate of tough love, feeling if he pampered me, I slip down the dark rabbit hoile permanently. He’s a “Get up and walk it off. Then go back out into the field.” It does really inspire me, piss me off, but inspire me. He did do many things to help, but kept the under wraps so I wouldn’t rely on it.
I still can’t get any chores down, shopping, dishes, ways to make things easier for the woman who is providing. How can I recover in a setting where I am not the mistress of my domain? Maybe it’s the story of cancer patient and the way the world changed around her in a short time.
How do you treat the ones you love when they have cancer? There are those people who need you to be normal for them and often you agree this for both your benefits.
And there are those that want to help you keep you spirits up. They provide food and books and distractions. Life is the closest to comfort here.
Then there are those who are nervous in your presence because they think you’re a victim of the disease and that makes them uncomfortable. They fear what would happen if they were the patients. Some even worry it’s contagious.
I handed pick my own support group. Picked the people who will do the best job a job that gets you out of bed and into the world.
