wow kevin :

great job on your first blog all goals accomplished, it will be easier if you create new blog for your every new entry instead of adding into same blog, since we don't realize if somone just adds the comment, but new blog gets publishes & people get to read it.

Happy New year & I am planning to do good things jar this year, it will be my to do list task every sunday along with my watching supersoul sunday series.

keep on blogging.

Asha

Sue :

I am glad you were able to create new memories for Christmas. As we get older things change, routines change & the way we celebrate our holidays change.  Only change in life is permanent.

Asha

Pam :

I am so sorry you had to go through this, but I am glad your son was with you & you got your treatment right away. Its not your time yet.  I never thought about heart attack is more stressful than stroke, & you are so right about it, stroke was so peaceful there was no fear of anything. hope you feel better soon & find your new normal soon, prayers & hugs

Asha

Nancy :

wow Doreen :

our paths might have crossed in singapore & since we haven't seen each other in person must have  missed each other. I liked Singapore though did not like hot & humid weather there

Asha

Pam :

prayers & condolences for your loss, & I am so delighted you are united with your daughter, hopefully soon your children will too. even in low phase in life there is always something to be grateful about.

Asha

Sarah :

hope things cool down at home too fast & you get good  respite care facility for Gary, taking care of someone is most difficult task if person is uncooperative  & unable to understand plight of others.

Asha

Sue :

I am glad slowly you can start doing more, you just came out of major surgery, you can slowly start rebuilding your strength & start having fun along the way. I also believe in going with flow, I plan little but then don't worry about how chips unfold. every day above ground & we got to sunshine & inteact with our family is good day.

Asha

Asha

Sarah :

I know how hard it must to feel, you have been doing this for past 15 years, care-giving is one tough & thankless job, I pray you find good solution where you can hands off heavy lifting job , though you will be overseeing others who will be  doing the job,  praying for good solution you can find which all of are content in it.

Asha

prayers for your son & daughter in law Sarah, I know it is so hard not being with our kids when they need us most but God will provide them support through good network of doctors, nurses & friends & other family members.

we all are paying for your son's family too

Asha

Sue :

you will be in my thoughts & prayers  for successful surgery & quick recovery time without any complications. you have lot of angels watching over you.

Asha

Tracy :

moving into new home is stressful, I am glad you are settling into it, & making your own now. Enjoy decorating, find your zen place where you can chill when world eels overwhelming, start having routine, go out for walk, nature is biggest healer of anxious mind, watch birds, read great books, life is wonderful once you start making routine & start following it. It takes 21 days to form habit

Asha

wow :

Happy strokeanniversary to Gary, I know it can't be easy, but as a team you guys did pretty well. Surviving stroke this long term without family support is difficult task. I am glad your daughter in law is doing better now/, prayers do work

Asha

oh man Sarah :

hope his wife's parents can help them out till you get your caregiver back so that you can eventually help them out . Change is scary thing, but sometime really amazing thing comes out of drastic change in your life, I am so happy for your son, he got better opportunity & hopefully his wife will feel better soon too.

Asha

Sue keeping you in my prayers, will have party in chatroom when you come home.

Asha

Sarah :

Gary & I are stroke survivor buddies in our stroke anniversary, I suffered stroke on Feb 8 2004 just few months before Gary suffered, We celebrate my stroke anniversary as our valentine date & always go out for Broadway show  or some other fun activity on that day, since we started celebrating my stroke anniversary as our valentine day I have stopped dreading it though now I look forward to it, fortunately even though my stroke was massive, which left me paralyzed on my left side, but still allowed me to raise our young son with help  of my husband & create my new normal. I bet Gary is able to live independently for so long is because of your support. Enjoy your party, I remember Jean riva whose husband was severely disabled had thrown party for her husband "thank god I am still here party".

Asha

Tracy :

Usually when person is sick they are most self centered person, cause they are just thinking about themselves & how illness has all messed up  their life. So you should not take anything your dad or stepmom says right now personally, right now they just need love & support from their family no lectures or advises. If they chose not to tell you something , you got to be bigger person & forgive them. let them be at-least in control of what little they are able to control right now. These are strictly my own viewpoints, please forgive me if I stepped out of line.

Asha

OMG Tracy your dad  & all of you will be in my prayers. you guys are doing great in making him  feel better. I know as a patient you feel so out of control when you don' have any control on your body movements. hope he feels better soon. you being there fr your mom & dad must be great relief for your parents.
