Yah, I had the same feeling. As I was reading the list, I was doing mental checkmarks. There were a lot of them. I have a feeling I'm not the only one.
I wonder if that could be a new tool to find out if treatment is working. If the Amyloidosis symptoms disappear, your inflammation is under control???
Sadly, Meggie, anyone who owns their own business must be a workaholic. I had no idea until this summer when I was working fulltime and doing casting for the zombie flick. Part of the goal was to increase my little production company's profile and experience. I was exhausted and I would grip and kvetch to my sweetie about it. All he said was, "Welcome to the world of being a business owner."
"Fine for you," said I, "but you've been doing it for over
200 years, so you're used to it!!" It's only really been almost 45 years for him, but I had to get my own back somehow.
Ah well, I know the eight hours with Glen will be that much more precious given the circumstances right now. It takes a hell of a lot of patience to live with a workaholic. My dad was one and my sweetie is one. Of course, they both had/have home offices, but still. The patience you've had to foster living with AS will stand you in good stead.
I'm thinking boutcha.
Warm hugs,
