@pvctom2021 Tom, glad to read your wife's femur is getting better as time goes on. Can she get out to exercise, even if it is a bit of yard work or walk around the block, to help her blood pressure?

Perhaps there were some "wrinkles" in your intestine that the doctor felt he could guarantee there were no polyps. It has happened to others before.

Doing a 12 step meeting by Zoom is not something I have experienced, only done them in person. But like any other meeting, sometimes attendees become "keyboard warriors" and feel they can say/present anything they want. It is a real different energy on a screen, versus face-to-face. Perhaps if it had been in the same room, the outcome would have been different. And perhaps that person didn't share what was really going on with them, choosing to "act out" instead? That would be a great journaling prompt for you to tackle, acknowledging your feelings, how it made you and others feel, why you felt it might have happened. I wonder if the next meeting for that group will be well-attended, or if something will be said.

Thanks Ginger for a wonderful reply… yes, I am so grateful for your support and the other members here…I almost deleted the AA segment for fear it might offend some…thank you for asking and for being so mindful of all aspects of my last post… my wife dislikes to go anywhere anymore.. occasionally she will go to the store with me and she still comes to the doctor’s appointments and procedures with me..she has been probably the main reason why I’ve survived these past 24 years…the heart ♥️ and GI issues that I’ve had and the skin cancers have all been discovered and put at bay thanks to the absolute wonderful medical care I’ve received during my privilege as a Military dependent.. I retired civil service with standard blue cross and then joined my wife’s military health benefit as a dependent…she DOES walk a lot in our shot gun 2000 sq ft villa in this over 55 community… you can chalk up 7000 steps walking back and forth here and not even leave the house…although we missed the Ireland trip we are hoping for a Bermuda 🇧🇲 getaway either week of the 14 Oct or 21 Oct…you are absolutely correct about the dynamics of the in person as opposed to the online meetings…what made this past one so sad , was the fact that this person that the rant was directed to is mentally challenged…May I say ‘perhaps some brain damage’ … thanks for being so helpful Ginger and I hope you and your family are doing well…🙏pvctom
