Cancer, Myself, Preeti, Writing

Caretaker

Last night was the first time I laid down to bed with a heavy heart not because of her because I already had failed at my promise to post every day.  Although I tried to intellectualize it by claiming I wrote the post in my mind, I could not get past that feeling to not  write is something I can no longer accept.  Actually, I started the post with a bit of a  lie because my soul was heavy because once again the word “Caretaker” had been flung at me, and once again I was made to feel that nothing I do was good enough.  While others were thanked for their time, I was derided for stuffing medicines down her throat and leaving her in a dark room. After more than 2 days feeling like I was at fault, I realized she was right.  In my effort to control the disease by making her as physically comfortable as possible, I had lost sight that a hug could more than Zofran, Ativan or Compazine could ever do.  The problem really was my reluctance between comforting her with medications versus just laying down with her.

The truth is I am scared to see her so uncomfortable and instead of asking the easy question of “Are you Ok?”, I inevitably ask “Do you need medicine?”  I am substituting science for compassion, and I see now that the medicine really is more for me than for her. It is the only way I feel like I can fight the effects of Chemotherapy, but it’s not working.  If I was really honest with myself, she is doing extremely well considering the toxins in her body, and actually handling everything quite well.  I just keep expecting things to get worse  and at the first sign of a grimace, I use the medicine bottles as a shield.

The part that hurts most is the ease with which she thanks others for their care and concern, while I stand across a seemingly un-crossable divide of being the help.  I thought I could be a caregiver, a husband but instead in my fear and haste to make her feel better. I relegated myself to the realm of servitude rather than gratitude.

Subject: ALC 10 – We Are Half Way There! Thank You.

I would like to start off with a Thank You to everyone that has made a donation, passed along the message(s) to other friends/co-workers, and those that have continuously shown support the past few months of this journey. Because of the efforts shared by you all, I am happy to announce that together we have climbed up to 51% of the goal. I had set a goal of $5000.00 to raise awareness and continue to fight the epidemic that has taken millions from us…AIDS. Over the months that I have been fundraising, meeting other cyclist, and training I have heard and remembered the many stories that I have received so far. Stories from those that I never expected to hear from, stories from those with this disease and their challenges, and donations from people I least expected it from. So to all of you…thank you every much. 

With being 51% of the way to reaching the goal of $5000.00 I know there is still more to do. As the months get closer the raising gets harder. So I am asking for your help yet again. If there is anyway for you to make a donation, send the message below to someone who may be able to, or raise awareness…it would be a great help. Once again the link to find out more or make a donation is : http://www.tofighthiv.org/goto/jayproano

A Message About Why:

I first read about AIDS/Lifecycle ride last year and was extremely interested in the ride, but knew I was no where near shape enough to do it. But I did make myself a promise to ride, the completion of the 545+mi journey, will be my goal and greatest accomplishment. So a year has gone by and life has gotten busy, to be honest I forgot of this goal until just a four months ago when I saw AIDS/LIFECYCLE on Facebook. I click the “LIKE” button, visited the website, BEGGED for an extra week off of work, and the next thing I knew…I got the OK and was registering to ride.

AIDS/HIV is a horrible disease that has effected some of the people closest to me, never have I looked at him/her any different, never have I judged anyone with it…BUT I have wondered what would happen if the medication doesn’t work, I have wondered how big that empty hole in my life will be without their big personalities to cheer me up. Those friends close to me, those friends I will meet, and the many lives that will be touched along the path of this ride is why I am riding. I’m Riding to End AIDS.

From June 5-11, 2011, I’m bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle. It’s a 7-day, 545+ mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.

Help me support the millions lost, effected, and those that will be born into the world of this epidemic by giving what you can. We’ll keep riding until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past.

Thanks in Advance!
