My Husband/Dom is disabled - He has renal failure and diabetes. We have been together now for coming up 4 years, and married for 9 months. He told me He was very nervous about me seeing Him nude for the first time. His body is covered with scars, a legacy of the horrible itching He suffers from. Things are better now, and the scars have faded, but at the time they were very visible. It is only in the last year He has felt comfortable with being completely naked....before He kept His T shirt on. I will admit to being shocked when I first saw His body, because He also had a catheter in His tummy for peritoneal dialysis (which has since been removed). He did tell me about it before we got together, but it's different when you first see it. However the shock only lasted a few seconds, and then it was just Him, the lovely man I'd known online for over a year. He tells me I am one in a million, because so many women would not even look at Him when He told them of His problems. However He believes in being open and honest, and so He told me all about His health before we even decided to meet. I made a three week first visit to Him, where I learned all about His problems and their treatment.....I even had to call an ambulance for Him in the first few days when He had a diabetic hypo and I couldn't wake Him. Over the time we've been together He's been in hospital several times, had surgeries and now we are doing haemodialysis at home. There's no prospect of a kidney transplant, so this is our life. We take everything day by day, and love each other very much. A sense of humour helps, and we both are similar in that There's lots of laughter in our house!
