Dealing with a spouse who is often sick
I know this may sound awful, but how do you deal with a spouse who is sick a lot? I mean, I try to be supportive and understanding, but after 8 days of continual migraines it is starting to wear a bit thin. I know she isn't faking or anything, the doctors say she is experiencing the migraines due to hormonal shifts caused by the onset of menopause. So, it is not like she is asking for it or wants to be sick. For example today, it was so bad I had to stay home from work, take her to the dr so she could get a narcotic shot.
But, having said that I find myself getting upset and frustrated with the whole situation. It seems like there is always something wrong and I am losing my paitence over things outside her and my control. Any ideas for dealing with situations like this?
Thanks
