'He’s my husband, I want to care for him.' ❤️
Powerful pictures show how Lindsey Burrow takes care of her husband and rugby league legend Rob Burrow.
It is only recently she moved Rob’s bed downstairs because she could no longer manage the stairs safely. Lindsey said: "While I’m physically able, I will continue to do that for Rob, and I know he’d do the same for me,” she says, speaking matter-of-factly. "It’s not easy being a carer, but when I look at what Rob has had taken from him I’ve nothing to moan about."
Rob was initially given two years to live, and today refuses to hear a prognosis. Lindsey explains her husband has now lost all ability to talk, and retains no voluntary movement control, except with his eyes, which he uses to spell messages on a screen. She added: "I know roughly, he knows what type of music he’d like. He’s a big Michael Jackson fan. Rob has said I’m still young, I should find someone else. He just wants us to be happy. But he’s still here, still fighting and I know I upset him when I ask those questions."
Lindsey doesn’t allow him to see her upset, either. "Crying is not going to change the situation, I’d rather make happy memories and spend time happy with Rob," she insists.
