just talked to my Uncle. seems to be holding up well. We are a stoic and strong bunch in crisis as a general rule... on the outside anyway.
sorry man, just caught this. I can relate, twice in 2 years. SOunds like your desling with it better than I did.
I was into blaming myself for not seeing the signals.
Does this mean that your uncle is now totally alone? with no kids at all? Jeezus Christ!!
Regarding your list, Gus, please know that I've been kiddin all along.

I'm glad you were able to get through to your uncle, bear. Family means knowing the inside from the outside. Keep calling...
Still here dude.
There are no words, just understanding.

Oh man, I hope not! He should NOT be by himself right now!
Did Uncle say how her husband is doing?
Man, this sucks. We had a great visit at Thanksgiving. I'm still trying to deal with that whole round of visits she made. And, the talking. Typical? Or, trying to get a lot said?
Sad.
Bi-polar bear. My condolences, and prayers.
Hey, Bear. You know all my best thinking is done in the shower... Well, I was just showering and it dawned on me...
The whole thing, the act and how, makes a lot of sense if you consider the family history of migrains. Just a thought. Maybe it wasn't intended as hurtful to others, but as a relief for her since the migrains were not controlled / relieved by medication.
that's a thought... I know a couple of the times you took me to the hospital I could have jumped out a window to make them stop.
BPB (xox) to you and yours.
Oh yeah, chronic pain can really mess with your ability to be rational...I've known a few people with chronic pain of one kind or another, and it absolutely drains you. Migraines must be awful...I have very occasional terrible, nauseating headaches; I can't even imagine how hard it would be to live with them if they happened regularly.
Emotions are like cats.
They come when they come, go when they go.
