Glad that you came back and vented here. Sorry to hear about Marc and all of his issues but like other have said before you need to take care of yourself and be in a safe and quite place. Maybe you could talk to Marc about going to see a Dr and getting a nerve block for his back to stop the pain and them some help with his anger. Take care you are in my thoughts and prayers Sally

This is what blogging is all about getting your feelings out and sometimes when we write our minds wrap around things a little better.

Come here and do what you have to do for yourself we don't need a fake Sue and you don't have to waste your engery on trying to be cheerful when you are not, your journey right now sucks and I wish I could do something to help you out.

Know that you have many friends here and we all love you and feel your pain so blog what you feel. Get it off your chest.

As always you and Ray are in my prayers Sally

Wes

Sorry to hear about your wife. Please take care of yourself too. The role of caregiver is now yours. You know one side of stroke now you are going to learn the other. You do have an advandaged here because you are a survivor God does not give you more then you can handle.

Come join us in Caregiver Chat on Tuesday or Thursday we will help you out as best we can. Take care Sally
