hey sandy! thank u for calling me today. It helped tremendously.

As a mom I will tell you this- I raised ,ect my son and now he is a
young man. I thght when I was bed bound and he was in 6th or 7th grade
...I thgt. I was no longer a good mom. In 9th grade he turned to me and
said Thank You mommy. Yes he calls me that! and NO not in public.
Anyway... He explained that even though I had Shy whatever, I was still
a good mom. Now, he will be going to universities for the next 8 years I
think:) That is what he tells us. Funny I don't think of the tuition
costs, I think about his survival. However, I forgot for the past 5
years he has been helping care for me. I use to cry about it and get so
frustrated, but I thgt shoot I better thankful cause alot kids go really
weird during their teen years.

Your Mom and Dad care for u cause ur their little girl in their eyes. U
always will be, even though they know u are a grown woman. U letting
them help u may bring them happiness that they are able to help you.
They don't want u ill by any means. BUT I bet my life that you still
bring them joy.

When will it be their turn u ask. I don't know if u realize this, but u
letting ur parents help u, u smiling at ur parents, u calling ur
parents, u being a good person, u helping others with a call or typing,
u taking care of urself when u can, all these acts show a parent a thank
you from their child. Those acts tell a parent that u love them. We
don't require payment when our child(ren) turn out go good. All they
have to do is be nice to others and themselves, follow the rules:), and
show they care. We want the child to be happy with their job take care
of their family if they have one. Having a good child is the best
present I could ever ask for. Yes, even over a cure.

As for the commode...yes my husband and son have done that. It is ok. It
is hard with the compression though. Try this--- it isn't all the time,
so maybe that will make the thght alittle easier to handle???
Anyway thank again for calling me today. Ur a life saver Sandy. thanks
