Ouch, my sympathies, Kent. I believe your situation is far worse than mine was when my Annie died in late June '68. We had no warning that anything was amiss until the x-rays on the light panel gave us the death in 48 hours sentence. At that point I locked up and went into autopilot, doing what was expected, and today, 45 years later it all seems like a bad dream that just happened to be real. Worse yet, we buried her on our oldest child's 9th birthday. I thought I was protecting the kids, 6, 8 & 9 at the time, by not taking them to the hospital so they could see her, or to the funeral but to this day they've held that against me. I tried to have a birthday party, cake & ice cream, the whole mary ann later that afternoon for Barbara, but it was the saddest birthday party ever, for all of us. Reality, when it set in as the rest of her family was clearing out, was a cast iron bitch. You it seems, are waiting for the other shoe to drop, and have to keep busy at something else to keep your sanity. So keeping busy is the best advice I can offer from my now ancient & nearly worn out perch. I am doing it too, watching Dee's COPD slowly get worse. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
