Old Doll, this is horrible story.
Even being in a similar situation, the result is always the same. Since my car accident I am really sensitive about such problems and I am probably one of a few people who knows, not only what suffering is, but also the effect on your family. My mother was in 1 day 10 years older, and now it is so "frustrating" to depend on her, even the most stupid things, like washing dishes, changing a CD in my car, I am not able to understand it, and to find my personal limits. Day after day, I start to adapt me. It is to become mad, sitting in the same position, after 15 minutes, it is difficult to stand up. Standing still (like the guards of Buckingham palace) is a killer. In stead of execution me, the only thing they have to do is: STAND STILL for 5 minutes. I wrote this already a few times, and the main purpose is to give something back to the people, disabled, and to show them that there is still a live, how difficult it might be. About health, and having severe problems I call them "far from my bed problems"
You never think about itl, unless the very moment that a medical problem hits you. BUT ALSO ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND suffer.
You need to stay positive and if it gets difficult you can always count on me, SouthPaw (he is very wise and tells you what he has to tell in a correct way), there are more nice people, like Boot, UYK, Roger: DON'T BE MAD IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR NAME. All these people are unique and I trust them. I HAVE A LOT TO THANK here on chordie, I had again a purpose.
They gave me a "life", a lot of fantastic no selfish people who helped me a lot. There is also a motivation to go on. Since my membership day, I started really to love again MY ACOUSTIC GUITAR, electric vs acoustic = 20% vs 80%. Someday I will try to put a song on myspace, youtube, and it will be acoustic. Like your topic, I don't know what to say, but it touched me a lot, giving me also the opportunity to write a song.
Keep on doing the good work Dollie
