It's been a not-so-nice year so far...

I haven't posted much, mostly because my life has been turned upside-down by my husband's deteriorating health.

*hugs* You DO know you can phone me 24/7 if you need to, right? It's been a horribly difficult year for everyone in your family and I really think you're due for some sunshine, bluebirds of happiness, and easier times!!! (sending White Light to all).

I'm sure we'll be talking - last week helped a lot, and we'll be speaking again today. I know you're there, and it means a lot.

Hugs. Hope things look up for you both soon.

[aearwen2]

Me too. Thanks for the good wishes.

I went through something very similar with my own dad many years ago, so I do understand what your dealing with. *hugs*

Everyone who has parents in decline goes through something similiar. My parents died eight years ago after long declines. Thanks for the thoughts.

Yikes! That sounds heartbreakingly difficult for both of you. I hope there is some way that he can begin to feel better. Are there no methods the doctors can recommend that can help strengthen his immune system and/or get the diabetes under better control?

I get discouraged myself these days at the lack of art that so many physicians bring to the science of practicing medicine. They seem so narrowly focused and unimaginative and with such lack of interest in long-term problem solving.

My daughter confered with her nutritionist, and we've added a few things that he suggested that will helpfully boost immune system function. For the rest, we'll just have to see.

Thanks for the good thoughts.

Oi, Mar, I am so sorry to hear what you and Bill have been going through. I knew some of this from our last phone conversation, but didn't realise how bad it's been for you.

I'm always around to talk if you need to do so, and you know that you can do so whenever you need to.

I know and appreciate the offer of the ear and shoulder. Trust that if I need to, I *will* make use of them. Thanks!

My pleasure, Mar.

You take care, you hear? :)
