I’ve Got a Long Way to Go

35,206 Visiting Nurse At Home Stock Photos, High-Res ...

Well, the courier earlier, and just now the visiting nurse, have come and gone. There will be another courier and another nurse this afternoon. It seems that every time my wife and I get a conversation started, there’s another knock on the door, another gadget planted in our living room, another robot demanding our immediate attention…

Being seriously ill is hard work.

There’s still the colon cancer to deal with, and then the broken hip–God knows how long this stuff will take. I still have a touch of chemo brain, which makes me forget all sorts of things I shouldn’t be forgetting. It’s hard to concentrate.

And it’s hard on Patty. Being the caregiver is always hard.

Keep the prayers coming, folks. We need them.

  1. I understand a lot of the same things you are going through, have done a lot of the care giving for both husbands, but of course, each case is unique, and yes I am keeping you both in prayer every day.

  2. Prayers for you both continue and I now have a request for my son, Greg, who is suffering with many joint pains which chiropractors are unable to fix.

  3. I understand how you and Patty feel, sort of, because I have been on both side. Prayers everyday. Miss you on Pogo too.
