@blm1007blm1007 Hi Barbara,
I have a box of N95 masks I bought because a guy I was dating insisted I wear one to a concert we attended. I haven't used one since. I didn't find it uncomfortable, but it messed up my hair. How's that for an excuse.

Yes, most people don't know about BE and don't think much about it when I tell them. The daily routine is enough to indicate that it could be serious. And I don't have an intricate routine as of now. As I'm already 84, I'm hoping it will never get too hard.

Tomorrow my 13 year old grandson is having a colonoscopy because of a genetic disease he inherited from my son, who died from the disease. With that hanging over his head, what I have is not very significant.

Have a nice day tomorrow. Roz

@rozie83 You are one year ahead of me, I'm 83.
You have had some very difficult periods that in my mind were probably quite difficult and stressful periods .....and as we live life have to learn that all is a part of living life. Reality can be so surreal.
I have not had children but I do know enough to know how difficult it is when we have a loved one in poor health and the horrible heartache we live with....... with the loss of a loved one.
Yes it is hanging over his head at such a young age and also 'hanging over your head'. May you both, and all, find your ways to managing it all in all ways.
Barbara
