I'm so glad that I finally came across this site, and am grateful that all of you are here posting your stories, advice, and wisdom. The relationship I share with Russ (fiance, C5) is a joy, and caring for him has never been an issue for me. I guess I just take that as part of the total package, and any challenges it presents are overshadowed by the other ways in which he has made our lives so much richer.

That's a great attitude.

Life is good.

Every drop.

Welcome, Inger,

Best Regards,

Thanks for the welcome, Gordon. Life is indeed very good, and I'd rather go through it as a Pollyanna with a little bit of Eeyore rather than the other way around B)

Best Wishes,

Inger

welcome, Inger. You'll love it here. This site has been such a help to me. I became friends with a
T9 complete, awesome guy, while caring for him in a nursing home, so I've done all there to do for someone in that case--from total care to serious talks to watching really bad movies about giant spiders on SYFY.

This is a whole new world for me and i'm finding this site amazing for insight and encouragment and a great laugh or several along the way.

Welcome!
