As an aside, me and my wife are sharing our 44th today. She has been in bed and coughing a lot the last 3 weeks. No doctor yet though. We walk the dogs and she occasionally exercises on the equipment downstairs. We are trying to get through this without docs. That’s what she wants. I try to pick up the slack, but cannot do 1/4 of what she gets done. We still have a ton of laughs together...other morning...you look good this morning honey, can I sniff your hair?...GTF away from me. I did.

(prayer)

Yeah, and six years ago I wanted my wife to get a colonoscopy, too - but not doing that was at the time “what she wants.”

I now repent that I did not pray and fast until she relented in that decision, for had she changed her mind I presumably would still have her companionship, love, and care to this day. As it is, I tend to cry in supermarkets thinking of all her care for optimizing our - my - nutrition. I don’t have that same care today.

My advice to you is to tell her for me that “a stitch in time saves nine” - and that she is slacking off in her care for you if she doesn’t submit to appropriate medical care. Thank you for your prayers. I do appreciate that.

We still have a ton of laughs together.
Cherish that. My daughter took a picture of the two of us laughing at something - and it was a dynamic picture, a video snippet. I could scarce bear to look at it, the first time I saw it. Please God, you both will live long and prosper.
