Hey Jaws, hang in there and be as supportive to your wife as you can. it is a scarey time for her as well. Also, try not to put the cart before the horse.....wait until your wife has the results...
I hope this helps. I am very familiar with breast cancer, my mom had her breast removed in her 20s (still jumping on her trampoline at 75}, my grandmothers on both sides - whom also recovered. i'll say again, be as supportive to you and your wife as you can.

Hey D, trying to catch up in 15 minutes with all. have to get up early to get partner to physical therapy. did you know that you can talk to your doctor with regards to having Wylie designated as a therapy dog for you? I have heard it can be done, but I am not sure what states are more strict than others. Wylie is your comfidant, friend and family.......he should be with you always. Just a thought and something you might want to look into. (((((Hugs))))

Hey everyone, i am selfish, i thought depression was keeping her from going out - now i know it was her stubbornness to tell me she was having trouble wallking - or worse i blew it off due to her depression after her father died...i.e. enabling her..... i have been trying to hold it together - the one i love and have been together for 24 years is not doing well. dr.s don't know what is wrong with her. i can't imagine life without her......i am so afraid of losing her i can't function, other than make sure she has what she needs. i'm so scared as i know she is, but wont talk about it. if i had 'faith' it might be different, but life has left me bitter with those who are 'preaching' the word of their god - first thing they ask for is donations......money? really? utilizing 'god' to abuse children....etc.
i believe most religions are cults. i try to 'pray', but i know the creator (i know there is one, i just don't know what their function is.....i.e. shake up the snowglobe we are in when things are going well for their ammusement.........they know my faith is not strong - therefore why should they listen much less answer. unfortunately my prayers are heartfelt - but are said without heart (as i don't believe that the creater is out there to help, only to watch with ammusement)...... No replies needed..... sorry if i offended anyones religious beliefs....i'm just lost.'
I have missed you all and hope you all are doing ok.

there is one explaination to their problems and i don't know how i missed all the signs. Their father passed away with ALS 2 years ago. I am not sure when, but they have been showing all the signs of ALS. I just wanted to say I am going to sign off. I need to concentrate on them. If I am correct - statistics show a lifetime of 2 - 5 years after being officially diagnosed. It has been at least 3 years since they have started showing signs. Her father, once diagnosed, passed within 1 year. woulda/shoulda/coulda - wish i would not have let my depression consume me. No more.
Thank you all for your help and support. Life moves fast - if your not paying attention - it will pass you by.
Please stay safe and take care of one another.
I love you all (((((HUGs)))))))View Thread

Hey all, sorry i have not been around, nor have not been any help to anyone. i try to pull positive thoughts out - but all i feel is nausous. this wont be an uplifting post so if you are feeling down please don't read,
i just need to type. my better half is close to being bed ridden at the age of 58. they do not know what is wrong with them, will not go to the doctors and all i can do is help them in and out of bed and take a bath - at this point i cant even get them to eat. i am afraid of losing them - i'm not sure the love for my family is strong enough to move forward. most here know i sh and have strong feelings to do now, but have not. they have been depressed for the last 3 years after their father died - they take medication for it, but it is not helping. my back is not strong enough to catch them (i have nerve damage in my back) when they fall (litterally pass out), i try hold them up, but we both end up on the floor.
if i call their dr. their dr. may not talk to me. if dr. does talk to me, my betterhalf will never talk to me again. if i don't try to talk to their dr. i feel they will not live much longer. either way i will lose them. i plan to call their dr. tomorrow and start getting my things in order. i'm a bit of a hoarder - time to throw the chit out. i don't want them to leave me, but i don't want them to die either. i have given this some thought for months (too long) and know this is the right thing to do. even if the dr. does talk to me - i cannot force them to go to the drs. i have had some lows before, but this is by far the lowest i have hit. - selfish i know ... its not about me it is about them......i am just so tired and fear the 24 years together is coming to an end.
chez, i wont go back and re-read this as you have told me time and time again to just post and see how things fall.
no responses needed i just needed to think on this a bit.View Thread

I hope you had a good day. long day here - too many negative thoughts - too many others helping to expand the negative thoughts (family). i'm tired -now wish i could take back the scars - only to avoid questions.......
thanks for asking about the pic, I hope it has been corrected and you can now see the picture. talk to you tomorrow.

Hey D, I hope you are feeling better now and you mind becomes clearer with each day. Relationships are hard, especially when they are not without judgement. if only humans could learn from the smart animals (i.e. wiley) how to love and be supportive unconditionally - no judgement, no expectations, no anger - just unconditional love - wouldnt that be a kick in the pants. thought i would share another picture i am working on - still needs work, but it is something i enjoy. even picked up my guitar 3 days in a row - my fingers have blisters - cant wait to get calouses back...lol.
hang in there D, sending lots of love and hugs your way.
post when you are up to it. I will try to do the same.

Hey BeHappy, hang in there and try not to be so hard on yourself. I do understand as I got through those questions every day. Thank you for sharing as i know that is not easy. are you seeing a counselor/psych? i need to but waiting on a day that i can make it to their office. hang on to your thoughts o of getting better. unfortunately we are just on a cruel rollercoaster ride that i am sure everyone here wish they could disembark. always easier said than done and i hope you know things that others take for granted (i.e. taking a bath/shower) we struggle with - and it is not our fault, it unfortunately just is. you are a good person and have helped many in this room so don't cut yourself short.
