You guys are in our prayers ! I'm like you Larry and Ron...I'm completely dependent on my wife and she has been sick for the last few days but getting better...flu bug or cold I think. Larry don't you have an overhead lift or something so a caregiver or helper can get you into bed easily?? I feel for you and Ron and others on the list because like you guys I depend on one person for all my needs....I guess it is important to have a back up plan or back up helper/caregiver...I have worried about this and sure you all have too......I turned 58 this past January and my wife is almost 54.....i sure hope I pass before her because she has been my wife/caregiver/nurse for 17 1/2 years now. I know it must be real hard on some of my fellow quads who live alone or have caregivers come in part time...you are tough and brave, in the end we must do the best we can with what we got and be thankful for the things that work out for us, Dan H***

My wife Melissa has been very weak and short of breath the last two weeks. She wound up in icu three days ago with heart failure. She is my love and my caregiver. I have slept in my chair the last two nights. My body hurts all over. She came home today but is under strict orders not to lift. She is still very weak and short of breath. We are having a very hard, stressful time. If you have an extra prayer in your pocket, toss it toward heaven for me. Life is too hard guys. I wish I knew a way out. I do, but I am too cowardly.
