@midnightwalker I agree wholeheartedly. Attitude is everything in any crisis we deal with. The challenge here is just reading about the progression of the disease, and how depending where the caregiver is, what's required to care for their loved ones. I talked to my husband and we agreed, that we would get help, and not do this alone. Every caregiver handles their given situation different. I'm optimistic too, why your note was so valuable to me, and spurred me into thinking, I need to do a better job of keeping current on what's taking place to find a cure or slow this disease down. PS, I went to culinary school in San Francisco, lingered in Hawaii with friends for over a month - boy was that enjoyable. We live in Jupiter Florida, on the east coast side now......having to tackle a move in a few months, after my remodel....So I'm hunkering down on that....and yes, keeping busy. Thanks for your note back. Very hopeful. Best, Karla
