Sue, I have not been on here in a long time but I came back on to see if you were on here. I did not about Ray. The last time I was on he was still home. I cannot even imagine what you are going through and it is hard to believe you were his caregiver for so long. I am only going o 3 years and still struggling with that. I have not been on here much but I always thought of you and your story and how strong you ARE. Please take care of yourself and prayers for you and Ray. Judy

I do not know how you do it all. I only have Jack and that is more than I can sometimes handle. Glad you got to get out. I get out now once a week for 3 hrs. I do not know how I will be in a few more years. You make me like I can do it. Judy

Sue, you are a much stronger woman than I will ever be.

I am sorry, I thought Sue was on chat tonight from 8-9? I am confused.

Oh Sue I do not know how you have done it for 12 years. It has been 2 for me and we just celebrated our 43rd anniversary yesterday. Jack can do nothing for himself except eat and watch tv.

Sue, I am brand new to this so I hope it gets to you. My husband had a stroke 6-8-09. He is 67 now. He is totally dependent on me. His whole left side side does not work and his eyes are bad. He is incontenent also. I realize from reading your blog that I have to start looking into male daycare because none of his friends ever come to see him anymore. It is so sad. I guess they think it is contagious - just kidding I guess. There are so many days I think I cannot go on doing this and I have become someone who just does what has to be done everyday with not alot of happiness. I try to keep my husband's moods good but it is hard. He is so lonely for his old life and I cannot give him that. I am trying to manuver through all the stuff on StrokeNet but computers sometimes confuse me. Just know I totally got alot out of reading your latest blog. Judy
