Read all the way to line 40 before I started bawling.....
Took care of my late wife before she died of cancer at 46, after getting it in her brain and becoming unrecognizable for many months. They did radiation and I got her back for three weeks before the end....
Now I find myself caregiving again. Married another widow who had been a caregiver. I'm a hospice chaplain, recently laid off as people seemed to stop dying or something. My wife just had her second hip replaced, which is no big deal, but she has neuro problems that she won't acknowledge and hasn't worked in 10 years. I just read the MRI report on her spine and I doubt if she will ever work again. I thought there was nothing scarier than cancer, but this is scary. So thanks for the humor. My late wife handled her cancer with humor, and we had a blast before she went mad. She used to say, during chemo: "That which does not kill me will make me throw up."
