Timaru

hi, my brother is 48 and left his wife last nov. he stayed with me for a few months and now lives next door with his adult daughter and fam. we share in his care. She works full time. We are still learning to care for my brother. He has had ms for over 20 years. in a motorized wheelchair, has some movement in his arms, very little in legs. He wears a condom cath (has accidents about one per week) He just came out of an abusive 11 year marriage, he has pretty much been in bed for 2 years, now he is in his chair daily. My question is about bms. are most planned and how often. My brothers memory is getting better but he was on alot of medication. He is doing so much better now that he is with his family that love him.

Ice dancing and curling...that is not a very impressive list of things to win gold medals in, I am sad to say Timaru. However, I believe the skeleton gold redeems the curling.

The ice wine was Canadian. I had never heard of ice wine before. I would venture a guess maybe the German stuff is better than Canadian but I don't know. Who knew a bunch of frozen grapes could taste so good, or be so stupidly expensive!

We may be onto something here. Do you share your brother's resonant Richard Burton baritone?

And glad to hear that you're at least a fractional member of the tribe. Let me be the first to wish you an early happy pesach!

Has anyone told you that you bear a sibling resemblance to Christopher Hitchens? You being the better looking brother, of course.

Oh...Interesting reading. I think I might still go for it, for peace of mind. I'm so worried of getting any flu, as the one time I did have seasonal flu about 17 years ago - pre-sci - it was quite bad on my chest. Hmmm.
I had to cancel my second appointment on the 6th, due to the bloody snow. I'm not going to make another appointment now until the weather improves - whenever the heck that is.

I got your card - thank you so much! Unfortunately, I lost your address and now I can't send you a card in time for Xmas. I'm sorry.
In other news, I'm having the swine flu jab next Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes!
Do you have much snow where you are? There's not a lot here, but the cold is unreal. It said on the weather forecast it coukd be the coldest night of the year so far, and it seems to be true.

I will have to send you the link to where I found the picture. There are more. And you can buy them and put them on your tree. I love that they are black! I shall google Churchill

Still bloody cold a lot. And snow is forecast for everywhere. Ack!

Despite your assurances, I am still worried I might have be party of bird murder by removing the nest from the engine. However I do need to go places lol. So there really was no viable option. Hope you are doing well. We are currently buried under 3 feet of snow. Thoughts of moving far away are stiring again..
