I love you for being as brave as you are. I love you for caring so much for your family that you are considerate and helpful, despite your huffing, vomiting and pain. Some people wouldn't behave that way. I admire you tons. I am sad ur sick, and I wish you could get better xxxoooMichaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038916759970109311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639216165860450331.post-81761268027849513502010-11-09T13:38:04.160-05:002010-11-09T13:38:04.160-05:00Your average day, even fully described, is so inco...Your average day, even fully described, is so incomprehensible to me. Just cannot wrap my mind around taking a full hour to make it from the bed into the kitchen! I can only imagine your frustration.<br /><br />And my dream house, the one with stairs, is a total curse for you. What a frightful journey you have to take on those stairs every day!<br /><br />I'm glad you're doing it, though. You're a great presence online and I'm quite sure you're a tremendous presence 3D. This may not be your A game from a few years ago, but it's your A game now.

Keep a bottle of water beside your bed so you don't have that dilemma about getting downstairs for a drink. Does your master bathroom have a basin? Drink there, cough and clear there, you may have a chance of breathing before you attempt the stairs which can only be a good thing, right?<br /><br />And thank you for giving us your energy when you can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639216165860450331.post-37010599289145042832010-11-05T21:24:33.269-04:002010-11-05T21:24:33.269-04:00Okey dokey Skippy, you are one strong, willfull wo...Okey dokey Skippy, you are one strong, willfull woman and I salute you.

You remind me of my husband. He was sick, in pain, and yet he always tried to make me smile and comforted me when I couldn't stand to watch him suffer. I can't tell you how much I wish I could make you feel better but we are realists. What I can do is send you a heartfelt thanks for finding my blog and letting me into your life and you into mine.
