Depression Understood Forums

i thought i would start this new thread ,think im gonna need it ,ive noticed
over the last few days Fran has had the tremours ,her head shakes constantly ,and its obvious shes unaware ,as well as the chronic lungs
and the panic and anxiety disorder ,she has multiple screorsis ,ive read about this on the net and tremours are a part of the onset ,i cant tell her
about this if she thought she was nodding all the time she would not go out ,,yesterday my daughter rang ,fran was upstairs and i shouted up to see
if she wants anything bringing in from the shop ,fran ask me to tell my daughter to get some sauce,then about 15 minutes later she asked me who had been on the phone ,i said it was bridget ,shes bringing some sauce ,dont you remember ,no she said i dont remember ,,
yesterday while i was fixing the car ,i came in for the sandwich fran had said she would make me ,to find the kicthen full of smoke ,she had gone upstairs and forgot the bacon ,what could have happened if i had not been at home ,,,worrieing to say the least
but strangely i feel stronger ,i know i have to be the future will be hard
but the visitor wont hold me down ,Fran has greater needs than i
i cant talk to anyone about Fran ,but here i can and already it has helped
thanks for listening ,,,,,,,,,,,best wishes ,,,ken

i had to cut the first post short ,i dont think the girls have noticed the tremours ,but i darnt ask either ,because bringing it to there attention may upset them ,im trying to get a wheelchair to keep in the car ,but i have to do it in secret you see ,if fran knew ,she would say im not going in that ,but she is getting more out of breath as weeks go by ,so i must be prepared ,,you should see her today wrapping presents she loves xmas ,and is aglow with it all .i wish i had half of her happiness
thanks again ,,ken

i must add here that i still at this moment in time feel yes ,quite happy or
yppah as we now fondly know it , ,,,bless you all ,,,ken

Hi ken, it makes me really sad to hear that Fran has M.S on top of her other illnesses but i'm pleased that you have each other and can feel strong. Wonderful that she is still getting so much joy out of xmas, a testimony to human strength

May you both have better health and luck in the new year

I too am sorry to hear that Fran has MS. But I know she is in good hands as you are a wonderful caregiver. In spite of your own demons, you look after Fran so well. You are one strong person! It lightens my heart to hear that you have experienced some yppah...and Fran too wrapping her gifts....wonderful. It's nighttime for you now and I wish you a good night.
