Dear Cheryl,
My late husband Emmanuel's grandson, wife and son who bought the farm from Emmanuel twenty years ago, live in the upstairs apartment from me, so I told her and my daughter Laura who is my support always that I fell today. I have the Lifeline button on me all the time even when I go to bed. I did not need it today. The headache from the fall is going away. I did get my back hurting again but it is in the muscles I had thought were getting better and now I have to wait for the muscles to start over again to heal. Outside of that, my daughter is bringing me a walker tomorrow. I don't think my cane is enough right now. I know it is the added stress about the bad news about my son. I am grateful that you gave me something I could look up about the diseases the Wegener starts and it all fits my son's illness. I just have to wait until he wants me to know but now I know want he will tell me when he feels right about it.. I am o.k. Cheryl. When I saw your age I said myself, to myself "Cheryl is very young."
To me being ninety Sunday, you are young, especially to be widowed already and then have Lupus and lose your home besides your son who has the drug problem and everything else. It makes me remember that book, "When Bad Things Happen to Good People". Look up online for someplace in your area that help people when they have troubles like yours.
Goodnight Cheryl and God Bless you
