Finding this post
Kabu, I've been going in search of all the posts I've missed and I came across this one today. There are so many similarities in what you and Wiley have been through and what my neighbor experienced. We've lived in this neighborhood for quite some time and knew our neighbors well. Slowly Our neighbor's wife started taking a turn for the worse. He dealt with it for as long as he could but finally, their children convinced him that his wife had to go into a home. He was giving 24-hour care for her and making sure she didn't wander off. I remember one day she came in our back door with an arm full of frozen meat. She put it in our freezer and then left. I called him and explained what had happened and he came and retrieved his meat. Things seem to go downhill from there. She got very aggressive to the point he could not handle it. He finally did put her in a very nice home and went to visit her every day. It's a very hard situation. I can tell you though that he is doing wonderfully. I made blueberry cobbler and every time I make a treat I always think of him and send some over. He was on his way to church and afterward, he's going to stop and get ice cream to go with the cobbler. Life has a way of going on but I believe it's not always what we would choose.

You are doing well, Sadly people do seem to become different
it is a blessing that you can talk. I know it must be a strain at times,
but you will always be glad that you showed kindness.
I remember my Mother looking at me one day and saying 'You are the best.'
It was such a little thing but I still makes me feel it was worth the effort.
'You are the best.'

I'm so sorry this is such a struggle.
I feel helpless to find words that will comfort so I'll just say if I could I'd give you a big hug and maybe a cup of tea. Praying that you and Wiley have a peaceful day today.

Having the opportunity to communicate is a blessing...enjoy every moment
It's nothing like walking into the bedroom and finding Joe Love dead on his bed!
God Bless you, Girl!

I'm afraid there's a correlation between illness and temperament love. So sorry, still blessings.

Infections are so miserably uncomfortable, no wonder he has an angry attitude especially not understanding what is causing it. Wish it wasn't so.

I'm so sorry that he has the infection and that even though you are not there that it affects you as well. Stay strong and love you

Re: Thank you for the inspiration. I posted a poem due to your post.
You are brave and strong, and I value your friendship soooo much. perhaps we are both too critical of our own work and worth.

Your voice and Graysome's purring are like heaven to him.
I hope that he feels better. I have only had one bladder infection, and I remember it as being a bit painful. Be safe and God bless. I will send a prayer for Wiley.

Thank you for the inspiration. I posted a poem due to your post.
I have written three or four poems in my life, all not very good, but it allowed for me to verbalize my inner turmoils.
