Sometimes I have something to say and sometimes I don't. But lately I have been under a lot of emotional stress and anxiety about
several things. So I haven't been posting much. the main thing that I am under stress about
is my brother. we found out a few weeks ago that he has cancer and he has been in the hospital for a few weeks. The cancer is probably in stage 4 so the chemo can't really do very much except maybe make him feel better for a while. the doctors said the best they can hope for is that it will go into remission but it probably won't. on the good side, the chemo has helped him feel better and he get up and around on his own some. They were talking about
Hospice when he goes home but I am not sure what they are going to do yet. He will go home soon but we are not sure when. Also I can't get home to him. I am stuck here in Qatar and we don't have the money for a ticket home. They are just so expensive. So, needless to say I have been under a lot of emotional stress. I just wanted to let you all know what is going on with me and how I am doing.

Oh, what a terrible thing. I'm so sorry to hear about
it, twisted. You must be beside yourself with worry. Even though it seems silly to worry about
such things at times like this, you must take good care of yourself: take your pills to the letter, try and get a little exercise, eat well, because your stress can easily trigger episodes and that's the last thing you need right now.
((((Hugs)))) to you. We're here if and when you need us.

Thanks Serafena. I do need the support but I feel bad just coming in when I have a problem and then not posting for a while after that. So I will do my best to start posting more often.

Well, that's too bad, because we don't really care. Pthhhhbbbt.
You post when you want to. We're not going anywhere.
