Hoping for the best as well!Ivan Seeking said:Tsu goes in for a rather nasty test tomorrow.
...hoping for the best.
Ivan, this worries me, is she ok?Ivan Seeking said:Tsu goes in for a rather nasty test tomorrow.

Ivan Seeking said:All is well. Tsu got food poisoning about two months ago, and this has led to minor complications. All of the really bad stuff is ruled out.
Moonbear said:Astronuc, sorry to hear your family is going through such a rough spell too. That must be incredibly hard on the caretakers being spread so thin in the family with so many illnesses at once.

My condolensces to you and your family, hypatia. I am glad that Granny was strong until the end. My grandfather died at 103.5 yrs. Recurrent pulmonary infections wore him out, and with the final one, the family honored his DNR request. He had enough.hypatia said:My Granny died last week at 105 yrs old.

My mother-in-law has diabetes, which recently developed, so it is a concern with my wife. My wife also smoked for about 15 years, and she quit shortly after we married. Her father, a heavy smoker, died of lung and brain cancer, so that's also a concern. At the moment the neuropathy may be due to compression on some nerves, so hopefully it's treatable. But we'll just have to watch it.Sorry to hear about your family Astro, sending all good thoughts and wishes your way. My mother has had progressive neuropathy for over 25 years. She deals very well with the numbness, its the pain that makes things hard. Hers was a precursor to diabetes, which came 10 years after the onset of neuropathy.
