Hey Guys!

Thanks for checking in on me. Since I made this post in December things haven't improved. In fact, I had left my old neuro, who I've been dealing with since 2000 and went to the new on in November. As a result of my diagnosis and prognosis, BOTH of them have told me there is no reason to come back and see them with the exception of an acute situation in the hospital.

Why you ask? Simple. There is nothing anyone can do. End of story, close the book, no more chapters to write. It's taken me this long for the reality of the situation to sink in and I'm still adjusting. My wife hit the wall and finally had to address the situation when the holidays were over, kitchen remodel was finished and things settled down to a point she couldn't ignore it anymore.

Bottom line, we are working with an outstanding estate planning attorney getting all of our financial assets protected and in order mainly so Medicaid can't bite us in the butt if I live long enough to have to go into a nursing home. In addition, the nursing home can't exercise creditor power and attach our assets leaving my wife with nothing.

Like I've said, I've checked the bottom of my foot and found NO blue ink date of expiration stamped on it so I'm betting the neuros have no more clue about that than anything else. We all know how that can be, right?

I'll keep in touch but right now I'm readjusting my life to "live it" accepting each day with whatever challenges it holds in store. The new motto in my house is, "go with the flow and listen to your body." I do!
