Rant!

Thank you so much everyone!!! We went over to my daughter's for dinner. Gary did fine, but he is just not himself. He keeps saying everything is OK, but I know it is not!

Anyway, I am feeling better, not so grumpy this evening! I sure appreciate all your support!

I am so sorry that Gary is not doing well. Hopefully taking away that medicine will help improve his lung function.

Both of you, Gayle and Betsi, have every right to be angry and frustrated. It really isn't fair. My daughter has MS, and I also don't think it's fair. She doesn't deserve that! Neither do the children, or Steve, or me, for that matter. She isn't feeling well right now - not a bad exacerbation, but she has to just wait until it passes. She has finally found a neurologist locally who takes her insurance, and who she really likes! She's back on one medication, and has to go to physical therapy.

I have learned to just take one day at a time, and to just take it as it is. There is no other way for me to do it.

Thanks Judy, for the perspective. I'm a one day at a timer too - it's just that some days get me down more than others. Gary and I spent the day at a big sporting good store (Cabelas). He loves to go there and look around. He has to ride in a motor cart now, as he just can't walk around in a store that big anymore. He used to be embarrassed about having to ride in a cart - but he's getting better about not caring what people think.

We had a good time together and he found a few things that he needed!

Gayle, so glad that you've had a good day at Cabelas!!! Our SIL grew up across the highway from there, on Old Goforth Rd. Hope the med change will make a big difference.

I've had to stop going to pet forums.

I realize every pet owner has different ways, but some of them just don't get it. They probably never will... and the same as it is with children, the poor animals always pay the price for cruelty and ignorance.

I think that because I don't live with Jessie, I can find some distance from it and recoup. My mother was very sick, and it was so hard, day in and day out, so I know what you mean about some days get you more than others.

I think that if you sat on Gary's lap in the motor cart, you could have some fun and have a good laugh!

You're such a romantic Judy....

....go for it Gayle...

[DianaB]

I have the funniest picture of that in my mind!!! Go for it, Gayle!!!

Believe me! He would LOVE that! LOL!!! I'll have to tell him you all suggested that! He will crack up!

Hey I hope Gary is feeling much better.. Life can be hard at times . But we must be thankful each day and remember someone has it worse. My mom use to say everyone has a cross to bear one time or another and how true is that.

Now what Judy said yeah go for it!!! why not be romantic.. who cares at this stage of life what people think.. lmao

Thanks Gina - I am grateful for every day and glad that I can spend it with him. I do appreciate everyone's support, I really do!
