My friend Di
Hi,
My friend Di has just been diagnosed with ALS, and told that she only has 6 months (give or take) to live. Her birthday is 10/12. She will be 56. She has been retired for about 9 or 10 months. She thought for a # of yrs., that she had something else(I'm so upset I can't think what the disease is called). Anyway, last week, her daughter finally took her to our really big hospital about 30 miles from here. I mean, her lung capacity was 39%, and they were sending her home? Good thing she took her, because, that is where they diagnosed her. I even think that hospice is going to be called in.
Her daughter called me to tell me. I am very grateful for that. I told her daughter I would like to either see or talk to Di (of course maybe she can't talk). Anyway, I haven't heard anything, but, that is ok. I am just going to start sending her a card a week so she knows I am thinking about her, and that I care. Maybe I will still hear from her. Even if I could just go over and maybe read to her or something.
Anyway, I happened on your site, because I googled "gifts to bring/send." Would you please tell me the appropriate thing to send/bring? I don't know which.
God bless all of you. I will look for your emails.
I can't believe this could be happening. This is sooo difficult (I don't mean to sound selfish). I know that she is the one suffering.
Thank you all,
Barb
