Greg, I'll just relay to you what George says at least once every day. "It could be worse." He frequently says that each day he is able to stand alone, dress himself go outside by himself, feed himself is just one more day to be thankful for. Granted George is much older than you are. However his 30 days in 99 that he spent in the hospital and nursing home gave him an entirely different on whats important and what isn't. When he left home that fateful day he could not stand even with assistance. So his determination to stay as mobile and self sufficient as possible has truly become an obsession for him. Granted he has no kids at home nor was he the primary breadwinner. Yet he is grateful for every day that he is able to function on his own two feet. We (he and I) have no clue how this would have affected us had he been 20 yrs younger at time of diagnosis. We do know that we thank God every day that we are still able to communicate with each other. This horrid desease is not in any way, as far as I'm concerned, ANY kind of a blessing. However he has it and all either of us can do, is be the best that we can possibly be. Greg, we all get frustrated! And I as the non PWP can not pretend to know how those of you with the desease feel. I can only imagine. Hugs to you and Diann Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
