Hi Ron,

Thank you for your caring words. No I won't stay in this place too long, but just give me few days then I will climb out of it. Sometimes i just want to curl up in a ball and emote. I am out of the pit (for now). There are a lot of grief and loss issues with this journey. I am not what I used to be, the things I used to enjoy to do and to accept this new me takes lots of letting go and acceptance. I really now appreciate my elderly clients when they talk about their sorrow of losing bodily function and mental alertness. It is about losing control and learning to surrender. I try to tell myself "I am more than this disease. I am still me with a clipped wing".

No I don't take any medications you mentioned but now will consider them if necessary. Thank you again. Take care of yourself. Yu Ping
