No troubles here, feeling pretty good (for an OLD guy
) Round 4 of chemo was yesterday and I feel none of the effects I had the previous 3 weeks (yet)..
I thought I was going to have another year of once a month, but Doc told me yesterday we would finish up this series and wait 3 months. He will then take another look and see how things are..
Prayers are always appreciated..

My ex survived 5 head injuries during our marriage of 23 years. My middle daughter survived 4 head injuries during the last 7 years of her life. Head injury is devastating to everyone involved, but to have 2 loved ones with multiple head injuries was unimaginable.
In 06 my middle daughter and my father died on the same day, twelve hours apart, and they shared the same birthday. My ex abandoned my 6 weeks after her death. Shortly after he left, I lost my home, nearly lost my youngest daughter when a car hit the horse she was riding, lost my horses, most of my personal possessions.
I'm not sure how I found the strength to survive the changes life threw at me, but I did. I sometimes wonder how I manage to smile at anything in life now, but I do.
My family spent more than 2 decades living in a hell not of our making. The changes were devastating and the scars run deep, even now. But life is all about change. We must find the strength to roll with the punches, no matter how hopeless life seems at times. We must find something to laugh at every single day.

Some days you think it can't get any worse,but it can.The old saying life doesn't throw any thing at us we can't handle(i used to think was bs)But it seems some how some way we get threw it,because life moves on,whether we want it to or not.We just have to keep our chin up,take one day at a time.We can choose to live it,or stay in the past,it takes time,a lot of hope,but most choose to live.I think it is a sign of your strength,your good heart that got you threw when most would have probably gave up.

Hi D.F. hHope you are well
I think I changed direction in my life when I reached 60.Having spent most of my life pleasing others,I decided to do something different for me so took off to Spain,learned a new language,more friendships and enjoyed it for 7 years.
I'm now back in my homeland and enjoying being 70 but still excited about life. My friends are still the same ones from childhood [those that are still here ] I have a new home, in new surroundings so every day is an adventure.
Whatever life has in store for me I can handle, as the worst part of my life is behind me, and the future is unknown!

That's a good way to look at it,they say things happen for a reason,with out the bad times,we wouldn't know what the good times were,so i just try to live one day at a time and make the most of it. ------ This thread is Archived ------

wow,you have a lot courage,most people don't like change,are scared to try new things,they get set in their ways.I respect you in so many ways for taking a chance,to LIVE,after all that's what life is about isn't it.I think I changed direction in my life when I reached 60.Having spent most of my life pleasing others,I decided to do something different for me so took off to Spain,learned a new language,more friendships and enjoyed it for 7 years.

Thank you for the kind words demonfairy and taxidiots.
I've been told that I possess a warped sense of devotion because I willingly lived in hell no matter how bad things got. After my ex's first head injury, a "specialist" told me that 98% of the spouses of head injury survivors simply pack up and leave because life is unbearable. I had a huge stubborn streak and telling me something like that was like waving a red flag in my face. There is no way I was going to become (or allow my family to become) just another statistic.
My devotion and dedication cost me more than anyone can ever understand, but I also gained a lot through the experience. Hopefully I will have the strength to survive anything else life may put in my path.
Bad changes in life have as much (or more) to teach us as the good changes.
