Discussion: Compassionate nurse syndrome stories are often very romantic. Unlike movies where the injured are usually young, chronic illnesses are not romantic!

Chronic illnesses often involve great suffering and sacrifice on the part of the healthy spouse. Although some chronic diseases develop in adolescence, the most common ones develop at 45-50 years of age and up. At these ages, most people live in a relationship. (Not necessarily marriage) When one spouse has a chronic illness, the association is usually not based on "sexual love" because chronic patients' sexual abilities are often impaired. After endless treatments and a prolonged stay in China intermittently for 15 years, I found a Chinese woman's support and love. Without Alixin's love and support, I would not have survived such severe liver cirrhosis.
