Re: Carguy49's Road Trip - Final Chapter
Thoughts and prayers are with you Ron. I walked the same path with my Mom & Dad. Mom starting in 2008 ending Aug 10, 2010 Dad 2009 and ending in Oct 20 2015. I am still not finished with the mess it leaves your personal life in.. Still no racing... It is not an easy path and when it comes to an end you will look back with no regrets and many outstanding memories. Good luck to you and may God's strength be with you on your journeys.

Re: Carguy49's Road Trip - Final Chapter
Thanks to all who have responded so far. I have, very much, appreciated every thought, prayer and idea. We had a few family and friends stop by each day of this weekend. Some have brought food for us and given hugs and kisses to Joan (a couple for me also).
We have been dealing with this cancer issue for over 14 years. Have been through many highs and some lows. Very thankful for each day and am hoping and praying for many more. I have personally lost 5 good friends to Cancer in the last few years. Others have had it and beat it.

Re: Carguy49's Road Trip - Final Chapter
Prayers sent.
We believe in the power of Prayer with all our heart! I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer some years ago. The doctors were very discouraging about doing a 12 Hour procedure on a patient with my health issues. They said I would die on the table and that would be it. Well here I stand today ...... with no recurrence of the Cancer for over 5 years (Which is the critical period). In our house we believe God is the Greatest Physician and nothing is impossible for Him. After this life........there is a beautiful afterlife for those who love and follow him. I pray the Holy Spirit will be with you and comfort you on your difficult journey! John Irving

Re: Carguy49's Road Trip - Final Chapter
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Joan is in the hospital at the moment for a tune up. Some minor issues need to be addressed to help her move better. The doctors are saying 3 to 5 days, so a nice break for me and the best of care for her. With her getting 24/7 care I can rest a little better.
Please continue to pray for us. We are both doing well mentally and that is VERY important. Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes so far and keep them coming. God has blessed us both greatly in the past few days and will continue to comfort and bless us and our loyal friends and family. On a really cool note, we became great grandparents last Monday. A little boy 8lbs. and 13 ounces. Sorry I don't remember his name. I will have to ask the wife today, she remembers all that kind of stuff. Also, we have another one on the way in May. Happy Easter to you all. It is because of Him we all have strength.

Re: Carguy49's Road Trip - Final Chapter
You certainly have your priorities right, God bless you both.
Take care of yourself. As you probably know this can be as hard on the caregiver and it is on the sick loved one. Get help when you need it! Bill |
