Relatives well-wishes have
become burdensome
DEAR ABBY: I am
blessed to have a wonder
fully supportive family,
which includes my and
my husband’s siblings. I
was recently scheduled
for major abdominal sur
gery. For the weeks lead
ing up to it, I quietly went
about preparing the house
and putting systems in
place so I could be
absent, but otherwise
tried not to dwell on the
upcoming unpleasantness.
Most of my support
people checked in occa
sionally to see how I was
doing or if I needed any
thing. One sister-in-law,
however, has been over-
the-top. She sends cards,
texts, flowers and calls. I
appreciate her support,
but it’s too much. The
cards always say the
same thing — “heal gen
tly” and “these are the
good old days of medi
cine.” In the weeks lead
ing up to surgery and
afterward, I have received
nearly a dozen cards, plus
her texts, etc.
Is there a nice way to
let her know it is too
much and I’m tired? My
body reminds me every
day that I’m healing, but
slowly. I don’t want the
attention and the remind
er that I’m not yet where
I’d like to be. Please let
me know if there’s a
polite, graceful way to
make it STOP! —
PROGRESSING IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR PROGRES
SING: A “nice” way to
phrase it might be to say,
“Honey, I am grateful for
all the support you’ve
been giving me, but the
surgery is behind me now,
and I am slowly regaining
my strength. Please don’t
send me any more get-
well cards — the dozen
you have sent have
already worked their
magic.”
DEAR ABBY: I am
writing because I’m con
cerned about my hus
band’s drinking. We have
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
been married 35 years
and we love each other
very much. We are both
retired. He drinks at least
a six-pack a day.
Although he doesn’t
appear to be intoxicated, I
know this has to mean he
is an alcoholic. Because
he doesn’t drink and
drive, he thinks this is
fine. Besides being
unhealthy and giving him
a huge beer gut, it’s
expensive. Your thoughts,
please. — CONCERNED
WIFE IN GEORGIA
DEAR WIFE: Schedule
your and your husband’s
“annual medical check
ups,” regardless of how
long they may have been
delayed. Before you go
in, the doctor should be
informed that your
beloved hubby imbibes a
six-pack per day - at the
very least. Whether this
will motivate the doctor
to encourage him to quit
or cut back is anybody’s
guess, but I am hopeful.
You could benefit from
attending some Al-Anon
meetings. Al-Anon is an
offshoot of Alcoholics
Anonymous that helps the
families and friends of
individuals who have an
alcohol problem. I am
sure if you do, you will
not only find it enlighten
ing, but also beneficial
for the practical advice
and emotional support it
offers. Go to al-anon.org/
info for more informa
tion.
