pretty much sums up our lives… I started Lexapro for the panic attacks - seems to be helping for sure i can at least focus…. Dan got that wonderful respiratory ( viral) bug that went around… But caught secondary pneumonia and was on antibiotics for that, causing many BM issues… won't go into that - just use imagination folks…. And last night dan fell out of bed, all day he had been ( testing) and finally the inevitable, he had to learn the "hard way"… and he did get hurt his sternum is possible cracked. the ambulance came, and as a group decision - not much can be done for that injury anyway so we kept him home…. will monitor and see how it goes…. I have a girlfriend from Ohio getting married in Vegas in the next week and it is important to her that Dan come - she and he were close and while she was here in ND she was one of the few people who stayed in our lives, as much as people can anyways… but it is what it is and we will see…. and dan had another seizure about the time of the onset of the bug, so it was most likely related to that… there it is in a nutshell. life still sorta stinks , but we do the best we can as much as we can…nancyl

Nancy, another bad patch for you and Dan by the sound of it. Persevere my friend and you will come out from under that cloud again. Yes, people like Dan will have falls because like Ray early in his stroke history, he thinks he can do something that reasoning would tell him he cannot.  It is not preventable and you just get to live with the damage and hope it is minimal.

 

If you can manage the Vegas trip do, if it is impossible send your regrets.

 

(((hugs))) from Sue.

I echo Sue. Just hope you can make the Vegas trip. Work on the recovery and pain control best you can, hunker down and hopefully Mister will behave himself long enough to enjoy his trip!!!

 

Go easy, thinking of all of you. Debbie

Hopefully Ray's broken arm didn't curse Dan;  these two are like secret twins!  I felt so guilty that Ray fell on my watch, even if I couldn't have prevented it.   Glad you see it more realistically.  Just part of the package we've been handed, nothing more.

Nancy, I'm so glad you have new meds, I'm sure you will need them.   It's a mad house here, but at least Bob is not making it harder.   Prayers to both of you.
