cs, if you want the thread deleted, i will ask to have it removed if the edit no longer functions . I didn't copy it for that reason, I copied it to give others a chance to respond to you.

i know exactly how you feel, I've done all of that too. Living apart from my grandson almost killed me. this illness sucks the life out of you and it takes a long time. But think ahead, if at all possible. You probably think you have no strength for a grandchild....I didn't. But i held that baby for two years and now am his personal homework tutor. It's as good as a med- better.

I'm still suffering - don't think i'm trying to trivialize it. But I have a reason to get up in the morning.

take care of yourself, you never know who might really need you, pd or no pd
