Deb, I was going to say, too, that you express yourself just fine. Lucie and I were just talking this week that wouldn't it be great if we could all meet together! Keep talkin' to us, Deb. Don
Good news on your mom. I'm disappointed when people don't post bad news and only good. It robs us of a chance to support each other and to be honest and open. Then we become like everyone else out there in the world who put on a nice face but we never know them, and they run for the hills if you have any bad news. I hope this site remains open and honest and supportive and people feel free to share whatever news they have -- ups, downs, middlin' Don
The radiation on his hip should reduce the pain and ensure the integrity of the bone so it does not fracture. Ask his onc about Zometa or Aredia for the bone mets. It is a once-a-month IV. Best to you all. Don
Cheryl, when I was first reading your post, I thought the cantankerous stallion was Jack (LOL)! But, seriously, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your work and your pastimes. Keep that monster locked in the basement! Don
Every patient needs an advocate who is assertive on the system. You are doing a great job of that with your loved one. By venting your anger here or in appropriate places, you are renewed with strength to fight the fight without going bonkers and being ineffective. I have learned a lot being primary caregiver and advocate for my wife. Keep up the good work. Don
I'm glad you came here to vent. It is good for you to release that anger in a good way. Please feel free to do it again and again when you need to. Hopefully now you can stir up some positive energy to move forward. Don
