Eileen,
How's everything going with your husband? And how are you and Dad doing? Let us know when you get a chance. Thinking of you and hoping everything is going well.

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for asking. Somestimes I feel embarased talking about my problems, so thansk for letting me vent.
WE go for the hormone injection this Thursday - he also applied for SS today - so he's feeling a little 'old' at the moment. He's 20 years older than me and I really didn't think about the realted health issues when we married (6 years this Nov) A bit sobering to say the least.

Dad is healing amazingly well. Bruising almost gone, stiches dissolving. Just a huge knot/lump on his forehead. He seems to have more energy now - getting up from a seated postion without assistance. He's back to hiding pens, scissors, plastic knives (we removed all the metal ones). He's becoming paranoid/agitated again. We start the round of doctor visits in Nov - I think he'll need simething more than Xanax for this.

Take care and stay warm. There's frost on the pumpkins tonight.
Peace
Eileen

Eileen,

Hey, were all in this together. This is the only place we can let it out, all of it, AD or not. So you just keep venting, and this way when we all vent, then we won't feel bad either.

I can imagine how your husband must feel about applying for social security. In a few years, my husband and I will be doing the same thing. I'll be 59, and he'll be 61 next year, so the time is coming very soon. But keep in mind, health has no age limits. Him and I have been dealing with health issues since we were in our late 40's, so it can happen at any time. You'll do fine. Just keep putting on that happy face, but don't be afraid also to let it out once in awhile in front of him. It'll be ok, he'll understand, really he will.

So glad to hear that your dad is doing really well with the healing. Not good that the agitation is starting again. Hopefully when the doctor appts. start, that can start being controlled.

Geez, when I saw snow yesterday, I was not happy. Just a look into what will be coming. I complained about it being too hot, and now I could kick myself. We have to watch what we wish for huh?

Keep in touch, and vent as often as you like. Remember, we all understand and that's what this little group is all about.

Jackie

Thanks

Morning Eileen dear, I am so glad to read that Dad is doing better now, but so sad to hear about your dear Husband.

Life is so difficult sometimes for all of us, one thing gets back on track and another then derails. My thoughts and prayers are sent across the pond and although I only visit occasionally now, you and everyone are never very far from my thoughts. Bless you Eileen and try and stay positive. {{{{{{{gentle Hugs}}}}}}}
