    Past CALS Rollcall

    Haven‘t been on the site in a while. It will be three years next month. Doesn’t seem possible. Still feel his presence, hope I always will. How blessed I was to have such a wonderful husband for so long. 35 years. How sad I am that he suffered this horrible disease. It makes no sense and...

    Past CALS Rollcall

    Jim, wishing you all the best, happy for you. Took me first vacation since my husband passed, with a friend, this month. An active biking trip. My husband would have loved it, we always took active vacations. It was the first time I have actually enjoyed myself in probably 10 years now...

    Time for Hospice??

    We had hospice palliative care for two and a half years and it was very helpful. My husband especially liked the fact we did not have to go to the clinic anymore, it made a big difference in his quality of life. Dot, I am interested in this medication you mentioned. I have a recently...

    Lost my mom

    So sorry for your loss. I second what Bleue said. The second guessing happens accompanied with guilt and talking with someone will help you see it from an objective prospective. both pals and calls get frustrated, but they are really frustrated with this awful disease, not each other. What...
