  1. Hi codiie, I would ask yourself, what is the greatest way to demonstrate your love for Dad? The answer that is in your heart is the right answer. It may or may not be what YOU want..only you can be honest with yourself and answer. I do have experience with this type of situation, but that story I don't think matters for your decision making process. That said, sorry you and your dad and family have ended up in this spot...we understand. And we'll be here.
  2. Jude, to you as well, I am so sorry. I responded to your daughter but will to you as well, Don's BRAVERY has been an inspiration to me. He IS an inspiration. He will be so missed.
  3. I am so sorry. Rest assured, he will have a lot to brag about, because he is already so missed by me and others here. And I am sure more an dmore will be saying so. He was also one of the bravest people I think I've ever encountered. Thank you for letting his friends here know...and again, my deepest sympathies.
  4. Money? If health isn't a motivator enough...I think what motivates often more than health...$$$ It's an outside the box idea.
  5. Pat, I'm so sorry. I have no words... Just peaceful thoughts and prayers for you. Nick
  6. You have to get a CT...x-rays just don't cut it IMHO
  7. Sorry Connie and to Mary Jo's family. Cancer does suck.
  8. Faith. First off, I am so sorry for the pain of that first Christmas. I can imagine how hard it must have been. And I wish for you the faith to know your sister is eternal.
  9. Maryleelou, I am sorry for the losss of your frieend. She sounded like she had amazing strength! Again, so sorry.
  10. 2 follow up questions whicch may help...one, has he had an MRI of the brain? And 2, is he on any meds...in particular decadron? The steroid can do some interesting things.
  11. Welcome, There are many of the "children of" here who can support you through your care giving to your dad...even if it is from far away. My experience is not with caring from a long distance, but I was 31 when mom was diagnosed. Sorry you have found yourself here, but now that you have, know it is a good place to find info and support.
  12. Sounds like there is a lot to it, I am sorry there are such complexities...and it sounds like heartbreak too. I'm really sorry.
  13. "The days start getting longer again!!!!" Even in the dead of winter...spring and summer not even on the radar, Mom could only see the good news in the year's shortest day. This year more than any I appreciate that little call I would get. I'm going to go home and toss Sophie in the air and tell her as enthusiastically as mom would tell me every year.

    My Heroes

    First, I think I missed the post re: you femur...so sorry...ouch is an understatement I am sure. Second, I was having this very thought the other night. I got socked with the Norwalk Virus (the one that ends cruises) and thought to myself the discomfort and overall crappy feeling, and how amazing those who experience similar discomfort with their treatment are. Because they continue to charge through it and keep such amazinig spirit and attitude. It is truly heroic.
  16. Randy, I know these dates come and honoring them can be challenging. It is for me, but I think you have the right idea...wishing you good cake and nothing but good memories tonight.
  17. I'm sure you do miss him as much now as ever. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
  18. It really is unbelievable!!! Glad to hear you are safe and warm. But hoping for a Christmas miracle that pops your power on real soon.
