These IRL acquaintances of yours? Hell, the worst they may have ever seen is an infected toe nail.<BR/><BR/>Have a cupcake on me. If I was more demanding, I'd have you ship one to me, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as pretty (but trust me, I'd still eat it.).DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864339996118337420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-22362292569693908262008-02-14T15:03:00.000-05:002008-02-14T15:03:00.000-05:00Oh, Aurelia, I'm so sorry. And it does, in fact, ...Oh, Aurelia, I'm so sorry. And it does, in fact, stink that your husband is not there to (a) help you and (b) spend Valentines day with you. Chocolate cupcakes, though a good alternative considering, hardly make up for that.<BR/><BR/>I hope the following isn't stupid or pollyanna-ish, but for whatever small amount it may be worth, a friend of mine had a stroke that very much changed him, and while the changes are not necessarily for the better -- he lost some verbal ability, his (considerable) analytic skills, and his ability to work in his chosen field -- his post-stroke life is also, at it turns out, a good one. He is a happy person (also true pre-stroke), he travels extensively, he does volunteer work (caring for injured wild animals). <BR/><BR/>I realize your BIL's situation is very different and I don't mean to downplay its difficulties or the unfortunate-ness of where he is and how he got there. But is it possible to hope that there may, nonetheless, be some happy or at least reasonable equilibrium within his new situation? Or is that clearly out of the question?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
