Thank you Cheryl. I won't hear about it till my son is so ill and dying that I will half to hear the truth. I called this morning and he did not mention his real condition if he knows by and his voice was strong but he said nothing else. I did not question him about it. I find it hard to write and type messages I have to go ever each message over and over and correct the typos. I fell two hours ago going into the bathroom. I fell backwards and struck my head and bad back hard because since I learned of how sick my son is and lately I have worse trouble walking. I know it is stress added to my mourning for Emmanuel now. I lay there for a few minutes and then crawled to a chair to stand up. None of my children are going to know about that. My eldest son and youngest daughter will claim I need to be in that nursing home they are still checking. The nursing home is one of my worst nightmares. Anyway, thanks for your for the mention of my
boy's possible skin or bone cancer. At least I will be prepared to be told by the family about it. I know now what maybe I should be prepared when I get the terrible news.You are good to listen to me. You have a sorrow and burden as bad as mine. I feel fortunate to be online on the Mayo Connect. You good people on there and make me feel supported with your messages. God bless you
Cheryl and I hope that you have your burdens removed. Muriel

Good evening Cheryl,
It was a beautiful day here today. I sat on the glassed in porch here and looked out at the farmland and in back of it the forest on Bridgeman Hill across the way from our home. Emmanuel used to follow the Sun on the porch in the morning where the Eastern Sun shone in after the TIA that stopped him doing the firewood here so he had the time to take it easier due to his health. In the afternoon we had the Western sunlight that is warm and sunny in into the evening from out our kitchen window. I would be getting lunch or supper at those times but I would sit down with Emmanuel sometimes and we would enjoy the warmth and view together.
I have been hoping that you have had some let up in all your obstacles. One needs some relief to help the spirit. I continue to pray or you and your family.
Best wishes,

My son had three biopsies up on on his left collar bone area. All I can do is wait till they tell me the results.
Hello, I was thinking of you. That is odd that your son is getting so many biopsies done. I am sorry it's so hard on you. Well my younger brother had what they said was a mini stroke. And he hurt his leg a couple months ago and it got infected. Saturday he was taken to the hospital when my nephew found him on the floor disoriented and that's when he was told it was possibly a mini stroke. The blood work and cat scan came back fine. They told him he could go home. I called him Sunday and he said he wasn't feeling well and Han numbness on his left side of his body. I told him he should go to another hospital so he said yeah if I still feel like this Monday I will. Well Monday morning he keep falling and dropping things. My nephew said come on we are going to the hospital. He said it took him from 8am till like 2 pm to get him to go. Well today I went up there to see what's going on. They told me that it was not a mini stroke but a major stroke and he had damage on the right side of his brain. His whole personality changed and he is very agitated. They told me he has diabetes and afib also. All he wanted to do is go home. They had to sedate him and it only lasted 45 minutes. When it was time for me to leave he tried to follow me to the elevator to go with me. The nurses had to come stop him so I could go. I knew Saturday that it was more than the other hospital was saying. Thank God my nephew took him to another hospital. I feel so bad for him because he lost his wife in 2012 to cancer. He just doesn't care and he is not taking care of himself. I hope they get him straightened out. He is younger than me. Well that's what is going on here now. But the good news is that my youngest daughter got engaged Sunday and her ring is beautiful. He is a really good guy too. Well I guess my story is long enough for today. Take care and God bless you.

If you are falling that came be very very bad. Your children should be there to help you. If you have pain from your fall you should go to the hospital and get checked out. How far away are your children living from you?<br />
