I can't find a post from her saying they are not well. Where is it? I must have missed something..not a first.

This may be the post.

Leone, thank you for letting us know how George is doing.
My sweet Neil is having a hard time right now so I know
what both you and George are going through.

Just taking things a day at a time helps and hopefully the rest will work it's self out.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

George, even IF you were a klutz, (which you aren't) you
are our's and we love you dearly. So there.

It sounds like we need a bunch of sunflowers.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:169032}}

Thank you for the sunflowers.
Neil has been in the hospital again and with the memory loss
became very disoriented and we had some bad times.
He has walked those halls for 35 years making rounds,
delivering babies, seeing patients and yet couldn't recognize where he was.
Now that I have him home in familiar surroundings he is
much better except that I have to take him to Atlanta
tomorrow because of another bleed in his right eye.
He really can't take aspirin or blood thinning drugs.
The EMTs gave him aspirin in the ambulance on the way to the
hospital. Standard procedure.

He is pretty depressed right now because of losing even more
of what little vision he had left.

Folks, this is just another set back in this series of
events we call life. You either have to suck it up and
deal with it or go around with a long face and your lip
dragging the ground. I prefer to try my best to deal with
it. I think that's what most of us here do.

We will be okay, just have to get back on the horse and
make some adjustments. There are others here going through a
lot worse. They have my love, respect and admiration.
My prayers are with you.

Janis, if I prayed I'd send you prayers. Will you settle for some long-distance love?

Pidge, absolutely and thank you.

Janis, sorry about the recent challenges. It's not easy.
You said that Neil had worked in that hospital for some 35 years and I bet he has made a big contribution to both the patients and the hospital. Enough so that you feel comfortable in bringing Neil there when he needs treatment.

Janis, it's ok to have a long face and lip dragging... as long as you don't stay that way. If you didn't grieve it a bit, you'd explode. I'm sending you bundles of sunflowers and hugs for speedy well wishes for both of you. ((((Jan and Neil))))

Sunflowers and love go out to you, Janis - and to Neil, of course.

----Jan---just saw this post---I'm so sorry about Neil.
I hope things will at least settle down so you can at least have a little feel of 'normalcy' for a few days.
I will say prayers for all of you; you need them!\
I love you!
KJ

Jan,
You have been, and continue to be, in my thoughts. I see so much of my future self in you. I am convinced that one day I'll carry many of the same burdens you do, and wish there were a way I could lighten your load. You are a role model to me.
Love,
Michelle

Janis, sunflowers, caring thoughts, and prayers coming your way for both you and Neil.

We are fine really, Neil is doing better now that he is home.
I didn't drive to Atlanta today but will do it Wednesday.
Michelle, you and Steve are doing exactly what you need to
be doing, in fact what everyone here should be doing.
Enjoy life. Go on those trips, do fun exciting things, love
each other. Neil and I did and we still delight in friends
and family. It is just different now.

Rob, I don't do long faces. Can't for the life of me.
I'd rather make someone laugh than be a downer.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the good
wishes, sunflowers and love.

Neil has gone to lunch with our grandson. He will handle
this with the usual grace and we will go on to meet the next
challenge. He is a joy.
I wish every woman could have a Neil in her life.

You're my little Steel Magnolia

;)

rob33 said:"grieve it a bit" and I agree , but I also agree with Janice when she said: "Michelle, you and Steve are doing exactly what you need to
be doing, in fact what everyone here should be doing."

Sure wish you guys weren't going through this and that somehow we could make things a little easier...like drive you to Atlanta.I know that isn't your favorite thing to do.You are such a treasure Jan and just thinking of you cheers me up sometimes.

Janis - Thoughts, hugs, sunflowers and prayers going out to you and Neil from the Texas Panhandle.

As we age, my darling husband and I have begun to acknowledge that we are seeing more physical and even cognitive changes in each other. This year seems to have brought issues home more than usual. I have read many of your posts to him and we both have great respect for what you and Neil have done and what you are experiencing now. As said above, you and Neil are role models.

God bless you both.
