Yvonne. Thank You. I can't tell you how good that makes me feel. It's nice when you write something that means a lot to you and someone else 'gets it'. I tried to repost it and the only answer I got was to switch to the liquid version...

You and anyone else are welcome to use this. I would love to see this get to as many people as possible. I beleive that this info is incredibly important

 I can't tell you how much better I am doing since I have learned this, and more importantly, my darling dh is doing so much better since he has come on board with me and his prognosis is excellent (he's on chemo) .

Thank You Yvonne.

 

Saara I can't imagine what it's like to be in your shoes right now.  Yes my mom went through chemo but being your husband?  Situations like yours remind me even more why it disturbs me when people get so upset over trivial things or certainly things they cannot control.  When someone tells me "I don't really have anything to feel gratitude about".  I ask them to think about things they love and then imagine them being taken away and then by some miracle they are given back.  Gratitude wouldn't begin to explain what they would be feeling. 

I try to stay with that feeling by being so grateful that I'm so fortunate to not be in the place of those that have so little or are going through so much.  We had a drunk driver going the wrong way yesterday and even though the policeman was desperately trying to stop her, he watched her plow head on into a beautiful grandmother coming home from the store.  The tears of the granddaughter and daughter that lost her, the policeman that will have to live with thinking he could have done something different and the alcholic mom that probably wished she had not survived the wreck. Life is precious and is something to be treasured....every moment because we don't know when it will be taken away.

Your husband is in my prayers as well as you.
hugs, Y

Thank you for your prayers.

You remeber the Buddhist story I wrote a few posts back. I truly feel like I have lived that these last 9 months. Almost one month after my dearH had his kidney removed I had my total hip replacement. I was supposed to be able to go back to work in 2 months, but I had some serious problems with my surgery (all physical) I was SO angry at first, but some months into it I realized what I have been able to accomplish for him and I, and was able to be here in the beginning of his treatment.

I am so sorry for the families of the grandmother and for the family of the woman who killed her. I pray for them all that something positive can come of this. Although right now it's hard to see.

Be Well my friends
