I vote we send our positive energy toward you and Packer. You are in the thick of really relentless hard times over the past year. You deserve any form of "pity party" (and I use that term with the best of intent)that you choose for yourself right now.It has taken two of you to come this far...and all of here want you to be whole and healthy so you and Packer can face the next chapter in the book of challenges.
Send me an invitation to the party...I'd be honored to attend.
With every good thought,
Kim

Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 194 | HI, So very glad to see your post.Glad to hear Packer 66 got second operation and hope is always going well. Being home always makes you feel better. Dee take care of yourself, it is hard for the caretakers, how simple a word, hard for the person who is your love and life to be going through this and you trying to comfort them physically and emotionally as best you can, it can be very draining on you.You very much deserved a "time out". The better you feel the better it will be for Frank, so take care of yourself, whatever it takes. gnelson

Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 273 | Thanks for the support, staff at camp crazy really made me realize how much i had been through and handled in the past year........being a nurse, I thought I could handle it all, at least nurse wise..............the toll really creep up on me.........people always say take care of yourself, which is really easier said then done..........I truly wish I had half of Packer`s strength...........Dharmacat | | |

Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 246 | I just have to say that the reference to "camp crazy" makes me laugh every time you say it. I get the visual on campers with sleeping bags and liitle meds cups of Prozac pitching tents!
Dee-hang in there-you have the tools and it is okay if the tools feel rusty sometimes.
Hugs,
Kim
