Only from my brother, who is across the country, but we text every day and I can always call him no matter what. He has a very rare and terminal heart condition and I don't know what I'll do when he passes away. Parents and two of my siblings are deceased, and one I haven't seen in years.

My wife (now ex) wouldn't even pick me up when I discharged from ip. She just didn't believe I really had anything wrong with me.

Fortunately I have one good friend who is very supportive and lives close by. He can relate to my BP because he's seen what his brother has gone through with BP.
