Well it probably helps now that you have some sort of plan in place

and do not feel so completely helpless.

I'm glad our visit helped. Let me repeat however, that I am not

sick. Asthma does not constitute sick. Sick is when you have the

flu. Asthma is however at the moment a huge inconvenience.

I am glad that things are looking a little better Tina. What a stressful

situation. I'm glad was there to talk to. I hope that you DO get a

chance to enjoy your visit at least a little bit. Good luck, and definitely

keep that computer with you!

Tina,

You got better before I got a chance to commisserate with you...good

for you! My parents are both chronically ill, and the burden falls

mainly on my sister and brother (who both live nearby...like next

door, and two doors down); I understand wanting/needing to be there

and feeling like there is just no way it can work out...I'm glad you

are getting to go.

I hope that both of your parents will do well enough that you can set

up some sort of care program for them during the time you are there,

so that you can relax a bit when you have to return home. It's so

hard when parents get older...everything changes.

Good thoughts your way...keep us posted.
