Hi Ya Guinea Pigs: I have compared your first post with the one above. I have seen a remarkable difference in a serious attempt to understand. Your listing items that were a concern to you was a fabulous idea. I hope you make your way back among us and discuss things that pass your way. You shall always have many answers from all of us. Many deal with things on a different plain so you can shuffle through them and see which one fits you best. We all are different in this world. I am very different. Cute little pig a roo's. The names fit the pictures for sure. Thanks for sharing a part of your life. I now have one cattle dog, one border collie, one mainecoon and one tabby. Plus I have trained 2 squirrels on my porch and am attempting one chipmunk. The chipmunk is the scariest. Hahahha Reminds me of someone in strokenet. Please come back, we don't bite and if we do...we have had rabies shots...

First I love your name..... Angry? Oh yeah it can take place and a lot of resentment. I am happy that people still talk to you about the situation. I imagine it is awkward for them and they don't know how to approach any family member who has a stroke. I , at least, sold myself that as I lost many a friend I thought I had. The true firends had an open conversation with me and it was hard saying...this sucks..... Your mom is courageous as a caregiver and is one of the most hardest jobs. What is hardest for a spouse that I have seen is family members telling them...That is not my mom or that is not my dad.....I have seen that happen. You are a brave person to face this situation and just by getting something out there to strokenet is part of the healing process. Who else knows but survivors caregivers and family...... Now off the subject, I would like to know the guinea pigs names. Just courious....Ok will trade, my last pigs name was "squeeky".....Now...Stop laughing Fred

Grand Old "Staunton, Virginia"......I-81 and I -64 Junction

Stu: I agree with you wholeheartedly. We are very lucky to have Donna at the helm of our ship.

Oh My !!!!! I wonder how much the glucose went up with the tarter sauce........I am lucky because I test my glucose in my numb hand,,,,Painless for sure

So Glad to hear that !!!!!! I am so glad you thought it out and are handling it the way you are doing. Thanks for the feedback......Remember, we are always here for those who just want to come on in and share... Candybar? Hahahhahaha..OK, my friend smuggled in for me a Double Whopper with Cheese, but I got busted for it on the glucose meter !!!!! MEN !!!!! Harummph !!!! Best to you

Your mom loves you, I am sure..........Does your mom have a phone in her room? I suggest you just have a nice talk in person with your mom and tell her the situation. I am not a counselor by any means...But when I was in the hospital, I wanted to have breaks from family too...... Gives me some thinking time......But I'd forget what I was thinking about in 2 hours so it provided "down" time for me not to "put" on a show telling everyone I was okay, when I was like the pits. I enjoyed phone calls more than personal visits.....Many a time personal visits would create more stress on me because it made me "stay awake" rather than be rude, then I would feel like uhhhh, low.....Yeah, thats the word There is no need to feel guilty...Gee whizzers, almost a whole month, handling a job, kids, dinner, driving. That was commendable by any means...... Now if you get sick because of all the running around, how about your kids and family? Now what good are you doing anyone? Talk to your mom....make more phone calls rather than the drive.... Gas is atrocious and drivivng under stress you can't be paying full time and attention to the road.....Please, for the kids sake...talk to your mom...Moms are amazing on what they know... God Speed
