I guess what I _need_ is my ass kicked, **Typo Knig**. She needed a meds adjustment only, not, as I wrote **Becks2cents** , a wimp of a husband. Trying to get some kind of normalcy going again. Thank goodness Jason and Susan are here for us. And thanks to y’all for being here as well! Bill ---

Bill, give yourself a break. You are not a wimp. It’s just about impossible to keep it together when your SO is seriously ill. Been there, done that myself. I’m glad to hear you have local folks you can turn to. You also have us SDMBers to turn to - call on us at will. Hang in there! Edited to add: I am so very glad this looks like an easy fix. ---

You ain’t no wimp, and caring is not a weakness. ---

You are **not** a wimp, Quasi. You’re an incredibly brave person. Hugs to both of you, and you’re in my thoughts as well. ---

**Bill** carin’ and worryin’ about Dondra does not repeat, does _not_ make you a wimp. Hell, we all wish we had somebody as loving and caring as you. Glad thing’s are better dude. Never forget that you have a whole buncha creepy internet stranger friends who love y’all and care about y’all ok? 😃 ---

**Jason** and **Susan** are our son and daughter in law, and they’ve been a great help, and I wouldn’t mind them staying here as long as they wish. We certainly have the room for them. **Typo Knig** you and **MamaZappa** have met her (at the last Alzheimer’s Conference, when you took the trouble to have dinner with us), and I’m sure y’all, as does everyone, fell in love with her easy manner. Whatever I’m _not_, she _is_, and she’s the perfect complement to me. Thanks to everyone for offering the strength and the help. Whether or not you think I’m a wimp, I need you guys a lot, so THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE LOVE! Bill, **Dondra** , **Jason** and **Susan** ---

> [@Quasimodem](#): > > Whatever I’m _not_, she _is_, and she’s the perfect complement to me. See? You do deserve her! It’s normal to be afraid when your loved ones are sick. That doesn’t make you a wimp. It makes you human. I’m glad she just needed a dosage adjustment! ---

That was the last belly-laugh I remember. Oh, my goodness! EVERYONE needs one of those at least once a year. It just cleans out the poisons, ya know. Anyway, we both appreciate and love ya, honey! I know you 2 have talked on the phone and she said you have one of the “smilingest voices” she’s ever heard. Thanks for caring, sweetie! Q ---

I’m not one of your regular SDMB buddies, but I do watch your posts and hope and pray with you. You and your Dondra are in my prayers. I hope the dosage adjustment makes things better. ---

All of my deities are vengeful and prone to random smitings, so I can’t pray to them for you, but thinking of you and wishing you both the best. ---
