Should I tell this? Probably not but I will anyway.

My wife will ask to use the bed pan and then after awhile she will say she is done. She will say she didn’t think she did anything it was just gas. So I roll her over and remove the bed pan. She sleeps off and on all day. Last night just before bedtime she did that. After I removed the bedpan she drifted off to sleep. I was still goofing around on my iPad. I get up to turn off the lights and go to bed and she says I think I’m done. I said done what? She said “am I still on the bedpan?” I said “No, you said you were done so I took it away.” She said “I’m sorry”. I laughed and told her it was ok, that’s why I have those disposable pads under you. I cleaned her up and put a new pad under her and went to bed. I never thought I’d be doing this but it’s not that bad when you are doing it for someone you love.

You never cease to amaze me.

Exactly.  But also not "easy" regardless. 

You're a tough and good person struggling through a tough time with great strength.  Not all are capable (willing?) of that, so take some credit for being a good husband (and person in general).

Thanks, sometimes it’s harder than others. I have never had to use a bedpan. I can’t imagine what it’s like and can’t imagine not knowing wether you are on it or not but I guess when you are really sick things are different.

You are a good man, Longjohn.  I know this is a hard time for you, but I'm sure it's hard for her as well and  you are making this as good as possible for her.  It must be such comfort for her to feel your love every day.

Love is an amazing shield against adversity.  Some people go through their entire lives never having loved this much.  I salute your hard work and admire you relationship.  Your family counts you as a blessing and I value your friendship.
