Hi all, I haven't posted latley on the board but I have been reading lots of posts, I'm praying everynite for all of you. I have a question to ask, does any one know if there are any type of support groups for spouses out there who also have to suffer. Louis wanted to know, he said he needs some one to talk to , his life has totally changed just like mine did. Anyone know if there are such group? We are leaving bright and early this Sunday morning and driving back home for Christmas. It's been 2 years since I have been there at Christmas. Everyone will be there this year so it should be fun. There is around 40 of us. You know, kids, their spouses, the many, many grandchildren, and also great grandchidren. I'm so excited will be the first time in 2 years that the boys will see their grandparents. I'm only dreading the ride, it's a 12 hour trip and I know I will be in pain most of the time not being able to lay down and such. May have to use the very next day to re-coop. Oh well it will be worth it. Merry Christmas to All you great people out there, and a Happy New Year. Love, Anne-marie |

Jeez, I really hate to send you to these people, but I don't know any other way to get to the URL for Rose's group without joining them myself, and I don't know if they would let me in. I had some real issues with the managers of Chronic Disease and Disorder Home Page. And I don't see that changing. Their home page is now member only. I can only assume they got some people like Wayne bothering them. Anyway, if you join them and then link on the Caregiver's site there's a great lady who hosts that site. Her name is Rose Page and she's great about being someone to talk to when you find yourself with someone who is ill all the time. After all, it's not something he probably thought of when he said, "in sickness or in health". He thought "OK if she gets sick, she'll get well sooner or later. Everyone does." Not so, Easter Bunny. Some of us don't get well. We get worse and worse. And there's no end in sight. That's hard on a spouse. And they do need someone to talk to. So good for him for realizing that. And you shouldn't feel bad about that, Anne-Marie. It's not your fault you're not well. You didn't do anything. You're not being punished. OK? It has just happened this way and so you're dealing with it as best as you can. And so he needs to also. Lots of love and healing hugs, Dan |

Ann Marie, I wish I did know of one for Louis, maybe Ron would want to talk to...hey you never know, there life changes drastic to just as you said. Nothing is ever normal again, the house, the kids, us, them, everyone around us is different, they don't even know what to say to us, ever notice when your taking your meds how they look at you? It's a big pity party...I hate it to. Our lifes changed the minute we were injured, sick it doesn't matter... There's nothing we can do either to make it stay the same. It sounds like so much fun I am praying the trip doesn't do you in, remember bring lots of pillows and your meds, don't forget them, did you get that lil thingie I told you I have to put in your purse? It helps to have it with you filled with your meds. GEE my family all moved out of state! I miss them and all but I could never go and visit them now. You make sure you have the best time to, You take care of yourself and just be jolly! I will pray for you and yours to have a safe trip.... Love shelley ps sorry I missed you tonight I didn't come online until after 9, I bet it was a weird feeling, you better get checked before you go to visit. You make me worry so much about you, Dam girl it is scary for you, It makes me afraid for you... |
