Good Day "39"

Hi Marjorie, how lovely to see you, but I am really sorry about the ill health of your son and hope he is on the mend again!  

He's better than he was thank you, but he has had a serious back problem for about 15 years (which I know you know all about!) and he's now on his own, unable to work, and has become really depressed, etc. about it all.  I fear it may be a long job, but trying to keep positive!

Ouch!  Oh no!!  The very worst - just nothing seems to fix them permanently and it is so hard for them to live with and those around them.  My son has now been diagnosed with the same problem his Dad has - he is not looking forward to the next 20 odd years having watched his Dad suffering.  

A heartbreaking story Ruth, glad she is slowly recovering! 

I couldn't wish that on my worst enemy!! 

So sorry to hear about that Ruth, but happy that she is on the mend now.  Thanks for telling me about that, in an odd sort of way it helps!

The distance between us is a bit of a problem too.  I live in Torbay in Devon and he lives in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, so it's a lengthy train journey for me each time I go.

Thank you everyone for your concern - much appreciated.

I know things will get better for your son Marjorie,I just know it

And a pleasant evening to you all....

Was wondering what happen to you marjorie..hope things are going better each day until there's an full recovery..same for you others dealing with such an problem...I know Dr. Christopher Wilde said they were doing back and spinal cord tissue culture work in Africa..as I heard an fella on coasttocoast talking with him about it. They are trying to do all that they can to change things from the past and heal those that need it...where they can't heal it, they are trying to regrow it back to normal. I've had you on my mind because of another lady I know whose last name is "Pope" also...as they are kin to us Lawson's. She joined the Colonial Dames with the information she found...but she still questions  the William Lawson name and whose who wearing it. She may of gotten into this organzation off the "Pope" name..not sure on that one...she' sall over the internet though as it's past President and the work she's done for everyone.

I was depressed an bit today...wind finally got to me...hubby mowed the debris from the strong winds yesterday...today I sweeped off my back bedroom patio...with barely enough room to stand/sit in and got an whole dust pan of debris from the trees around us...I gave up on the yard...left...went thrift shopping for the day...brought me back all kinds of books to look into and did all afternoon. Takes my mind off things. I even bought an scenic travel book about Oregon..with pretty pictures in it. . So now I am wating for "Dancing with the Stars" to come on....and last week, everyone was teary eyed...two nights in an row...as both this and  "American Idol" are down to the last few constestants. You feel so bad, yet things are what they are and only one person/couple in the end wins. All of southern Oregon is rocking and reeling under thunderstorms right now. Rememeants coming north but hanging around Mt. Hood and the Cascade Mts. pretty much...bue skies here. Feel tired. I think I need my dieting to start.
