Great post as for your sign -big smiley face we are all lucky to be able to call you friend Sally

Nancy please take care of yourself and ask for help. You have us here and we are all on your side so come and vent get it off your chest and just breath. For me it was at the beginning of Don's stroke so I had the time to grieve the us that we had planned the dreams that were smashed down. I can remember that feeling of helplessness that my world would never be right. I think you are on the right path with talking with people and making sure that you are healthy, it's so hard at first to get all the things done and make sure that you are taking care of yourself. You have hit the wall and need to take care of you and remember that you are worth it Hard to do? YOU BET !!! but you have travel a hard road called care giving and I think that you are stronger than you THINK and braver then you KNOW Take care and join us in chat we miss you Sally

Fred You are so needed here on this site. I read your posts and always get a better idea of what it's like for my husband Don. You have made a big difference in my life and I wish that I would have told you this sooner. Please blog when you can you are such a value to this site. Prayers going up for better health reports from you and that your pain is manageable Take care Sally

Nancy I got Don one of those sunlights so that he can sit and read and watch TV it's like fake sunshine but it worked for Don. I found a floorlamp style that works well for us and it was at WallMart.com at a very reasonable price, so it was worth trying Sally

Great story you are a true success for yourself and now for the new baby that is on his/her way. Congradulations on you succcess and the baby, you are a winner all the way around.

Welcome Back so glad that you are back with us. You were one of the first survivors that I got lots of wisdon from. I was bouncing off the walls and really need the insight of a man/survivor and there you were. I was wife of stroker back in the day. So glad your back Sally

Joni You and your family are in my prayers. Truest your heart and you will do what is best for all. Please join us in chat so that you can talk some of this out we are here for you Sally

unconditional love is what you get from your pets. I really don't know how I would have made it through this world of stroke caregiving thing if it were not for Zeke our Chocolate Lab that we took in after Don came home. Zeke was my angel here on earth as he would take me out of the house and listen to me cry and just put his head on my lap when I needed it. Ruth did herself and William a big favor and now they are going to be loved by something very special. Sally

Kimmie I so sorry for your family's loss. You will find a way to wrap your head and heart around this in time. Try to stay strong for your family you all need each other now. Your family is in my prayers. Take care Sally
