Gentleman Jim

Thank You jim, that was so kind of you to say. I wish I could be more of a blessing to my family. I fear I will just become a burden one day, I hate this thought so much.

I Pray Eddie is doing well and that you have gotten some rest also. My Prayers are with you all.......(((HUGS)))

Dear Jim, I just wanted you to know I am Praying for You and Eddie. May Peace that passes all understanding surround you both right now. LOVE & HUGS

Jim, We travelled a bit with a CB when we were stationed in El Paso. The only handle I recall is Carrie's. She was The Candy Kid because of all the candy wrappers I found in and around her bed after Halloween one year. C says we called our big black Suburban The Battlestar. Were you a trucker? That CB sure provided alot of entertainment for us on those long lonely roads.
Hope all is well with Eddie today and that you're getting the rest that you need.

Hey Jim,
Don't mind at all! I'm Mom to 3 beautiful daughters and was called MaP by many of their classmates. 53 is my birth year.
ALS is still pretty new to me. I graduated from MCG in 1976 and only ran across my first and only ALS patient around 1997-98. He was on Hospice at the time and living alone. No Peg, bipap or even a power chair, not even riluzole. It was amazing to watch how his friends banded together to help him remain at home as long as possible.
Eddie is so very fortunate to have you. I do hope you're taking some time for yourself to recharge. Caregiving is NOT an easy task. I've been the sole caregiver to my mom (now 90) since moving back to GA 6 years ago. I had to give up driving in July and my middle child moved from San Diego to help take care of both of us. (I'm a "one and only")
I really enjoyed the link, thanks for posting it. I've found so much useful information on this forum and am truly grateful to all who post here.

Jim,

Jim, I admire the heck out of you. Hoping that after admiring the heck out of you there is something left other than your hat.
Love you!
Marta

love to you friend.

I did get it Jim. Thank you. Just havent felt up to responding. My apologies. Hope you and Eddy are well.

Do you ever feel like youre not doing enough to help in the ALS battle? Im going through that now... so many people passing and it breaks my heart every single time... it makes me want to run away from this site because i dont see how i help anyway. not in a real way. maybe help make someone feel better in the moment, but in the long run...
Then i think how PALS dont get a break from this evil... then the guilt sinks in.
Sorry to unload on you, Jim. Just having a real tough time with it all right now.

youre a good man Jim. wish people on here had a "like" button. i'd push yours....
