I'm the wife of ditto1 and wanted to give you all a big THANK YOU for your positive comments and attitudes in this forum. You have been a great source of inspiration to both Doug and I as we begin our journey down this path God has placed us on. We know that He is in control and are holding tight to our faith. He has led us to this forum for our "Daily Bread". It has calmed some of our anxiety during this time and you all have made it possible for us to have at least some idea of what lies ahead for us - not such a "scary unknown" anymore. I know it has really been a calming force for Doug and I really appreciate all of you for your contributions!

    I'm glad that the forum has
    I'm glad that the forum has provided some light for your journey, along with lots of attitude, very positive attitude. I have always found it very reassuring to know that I am not the only one expericncing the various vicisitudes that are a part of battling the beast, and adjusting to a new normal... Best wishes for your journey.

    Welcome
    Hi mrs ditto and welcome!

    I think I have seen some very positive changes in mr ditto's outlook since he arrived. I think he is ready to take this on and fight now, when perhaps he was questioning his ability / desire to do do at first. That really is everything, and he seems to be in as good a place as you can be given our situation. I really do wish you both the very best, I am recently diagnosed too so we are starting off at similar times.

    Good luck with everything and keep us posted!

    All the best

    Welcome, not sure this forum is the place for this, but I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you for being there for me....I know from reading many of our new friends responses we will both have folks to reach out to. But a million blogs or a hundred Doctors cannot give me what you give me, a REASON TO LIVE. We will make it Love You/ ditto1

    Together you will beat this beast. Rough road ahead but with love and support you will get through it. Mrs. Ditto is welcome here and on the caregiver site. Mr. Ditto, sometimes Mrs. Ditto will be the one keeping us updated on your progress. I so wish I knew about this site the first time around.

    Hello, Diane
    Sorry you guys are going through such a trial.

    I have to say, thought, that it makes me feel good to see dedicated spouses who come here and post. I think it this site is a huge help to both patients and caregivers. I hope your journey down this part of the trail is as smooth as it can be.

    Welcome TODitto !
    I'm glad you jumped in the pool with us! My other half is helping me cope with my ups and downs and reads over my shoulder on occasion to see how i'm doing in here (i'm behaving dear). These folks in here are genetically designed to survive and help others do the same.

    Stay Positive

    Hi Diane & Doug

    You are in the right place for help, support and also daily prayers. I like you don’t know the reason God has let something like this come on me but it has made a better man out of me and my relationship with God a lot stronger. Stay focus, stay positive and just believe as my friend Kent would say.

    God bless and keep you while in His workshop.
