I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but my 85 year old mother is here
in Phoenix with us until 8/8. She has deteriorated badly since we saw her last
November and instead of being able to do things with her, I have turned into a
full time caretaker. I don't begrudge her this, believe me, but it's tough
when she doesn't want to do anything at all for herself, even though she is
capable. I'm having a flare and trying to hang in there (like I have a
choice?). I'm trying to catch up with the group when and as I can. Hope
everyone is staying well.

Hi Anne,,, Oooh so much stress in your words and the flare is the proof.
Believe me when I say that I have been where you are with both my parents
and my in-laws. Each one deserves all we can give them as they cared for
us and were there for us as we grew up. Oooh that sounds nice but does
not change the extra stress that you have to deal with. Please let me say
that it confirms the respect I have for you but it is nooo excuse for being
away for so long AND it is not allowed. Thanks for the update Anne.

Anne,

It is so good to see you pop back in here again. I have been wondering about
you and how you were doing.

I wish you and your mom the best. I hope things go well for you.

I am sorry to hear about your flare but I am sure it is to be expected with
you being a caregiver. I hope it is a short flare. You take care
Hugs and love to you.

Signature

Love and hugs to all
Good thoughts coming your way too.

Squirrely Jo
