Today was amazing. I felt great. I got up, I went and knocked out the shopping list my wife gave me. I was out on my own, driving around the city. I felt normal again. Like I could actually do things. I came home, I put stuff away, cleaned the kitchen, and then cleaned out the car. I felt so amazing. There was point where a song on the radio made me think about my dreams and how they were destroyed by the illness but I let that go. I tried to push it out of my mind. Then I went to see how my wife was doing. She is layed up with kidney stones again. When I entered the room she asked me about making a living will. Suddenly, reality came crashing down on me. This wasn't going to last, I would be in the chair tomorrow, my whole day would be shot and there was even the possibility of feeling bad the next day. A feeling of overwhelming dread just slammed me in the face.  :'(

I'm so sorry the good feeling didn't last longer. I understand depression. Hold on to what you can.

I wish that our support would be enough to lift you up. I realize that it isn't, but that is all that we can give.  :grouphug;

I hope things look up for you again.
