Hello! Anyone Still Speaking To Me? :)

NO!  Get out of here!  errr... I mean... HI BILL!    <---- I was just kidding, you know that!

Good to see you around here.    I hope that being friends on Facebook helps you to stay grounded and not forget us here on Chordie.  I don't comment a LOT on there (usually.  cuz yeah sometimes I do), but I do see all your stuff and contemplate along with your contemplations.  I hope the business works out for you.  It's nice to be able to make a bit of money from home, especially more so if it's something you enjoy doing. 

While I'm happy to hear that Dondra is feeling much better these days, I'm sorry to hear you're not!  Get some rest, and feel better soon.

Look after yourself and look after each other. Sorry to hear you are going through it now so take care and keep up with any meds. that are prescribed.

Hi Bill don't feel alone no one calls me just seen your post and decided to say "HI" I know how it is to deal with medical issues as do many others here we all get a bit lonesome at times I don't have any pets perhaps a small puppy someday. Hang in there buddy

Hi Bill, Hi Dondra. Great to see you back here among your friends. Dondra, looks like its your turn to look after the old man. Take care, both of you.

Hi both from sunny Majorca where we're spending the last few days of our holiday. Just thought I'd catch up while the rain washes the streets, it seems to rain once every day....ho hum. Still the booze and the food and entertainment is free who could ask for anything more?

Sorry to hear you're not well I've been layed low with pneumonia myself and it's not fun so look after yourself, and that's an order!

Big kiss for Dondra and warm handshake for you. Keep in touch my friend.

Thanks to everyone for the replies! On a more serious note, Dondra and I sometimes have a tough time with the loneliness around here. Because of the dementia and because I sometimes say inappropriate things, the fault for this is largely mine. I have become somewhat of a recluse/hermit and because of that, she makes the sacrifice ( I call it that - she calls it loving me and taking care of this "old fart) of staying home with me.

I do insist she goes out for lunch or a dinner/movie with our son and/or her family, so it isn't as if she's chained to me, my friends.

I realize that some may consider what I just wrote "private", but when I was diagnosed with the dementia, I decided to make my life an "open book/diary" of sorts, and this is just a part of my life I don't like.

While I am on the subject of being "inappropriate", if I have hurt someone's feelings with what I have written here, I ask for forgiveness and hope you will take in consideration my illness and at the same time try to remember that I try very hard not to hurt anyone. Because I can write, it gives me the opportunity to reread what I have written and make any corrections needed, but I am sorry to say that sometimes things "slip by" and don't make sense and possibly are taken the wrong way. Please know that these gaffes of mine are not intended to hurt anyone.

We love you,  our friends and family!

Bill and Dondra

welcome back Bill hope you get to feeling better
