Dearest Friends,

Wanted to send a status report regarding Marie_14. Marie has broken her right arm. She will have to have surgery (don't know when scheduled). She has limited typing ability but I thought everyone might want to let her know they are thinking of her.

Please write to her and wish her well. I am sure she will respond when she can.

We are all here for each other no matter what. PSP be damned. (Marie lost Gary last year)

Oh Marie! What a bummer! And bet you are right handed too!

You will find it difficult to do most things, dressing, toileting, brushing hair, showering, teeth brushing, making a sandwich, so make sure you are given help! Hope your surgery is soon and successful!

This is the voice of experience here! Did same, my left wrist, 3 years ago - I am left handed! - so know what you are going through and have in store.

Learn to use the other hand, laborious but satisfying! And frustrating too.

I spent the time reading and relaxing after I had filled in all the insurance forms to claim back costs of a missed holiday!

Private message me when you can if you want to have a scream! Or maybe I can help.

Big hug

PSP is a horrible illness. I wish I could say something that could make things easier for you. What I can tell you is that you are not alone. I hope this helps a little.

Andy -

my wife has PSP and from what her doctor has told us, she has lived longer with PSP than anyone. 16 years and still using a walker. Wheelchair if we go to Costco…

Marie, I am soooo sorry. I have been out of state, visiting my daughter and family in Portland, Oregon. It rained all 7 days I was there....which was nice.

Keeping you in my prayers for quick healing.

Blessings, Margarita, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Thank you, Cuttercat, for the news about Marie.

Marie, I am so sorry to hear about your arm and I hope everything heals well and quickly. What a lousy thing to have happen especially at this time of the year when things are already extremely difficult. One day at a time will get you through.

Mottsie.... You are hysterical. Thanks for the laugh.

Hugs,

Liz
