Im not exactly sure what your situation is but I had a family member that had come out of the hospital once totally unable to care for them self. What was so stressful was that I was not prepared, I didnt know what was going to be the outcome. I think If I knew better, it could of taken the stress off some. Can you play in your head all the outcomes that could possibly happen and maybe make plan for each? I'm sorry I dont have much advice. But I hope it turns out not as stressful as you are worried about ((hugs))

Am sorry, Edgar, this is happening. "Where.."" said something interesting; the "play in your head..." phrase. More on that later.

I have an anxiety disorder, G.A.D. Stress has for me sometimes gotten out of hand. Well, exercize and getting enough rest can help.

Do you have a minister who can lend an understanding ear? /If you sometime feel like spelling it out more, what you'll face and maybe face when your mother is home....

And maybe you have a DS friend here you could be a little more explicit to. Talking to her.you could kinda test out to what degree you can open.

Very personal, these feelings. Once i had feelings of inadequacy (example of personal feelings) -- after ending an engagement. And was unable to talk about it, until older. So some feelings are private; for a reason BTW.

Is there any reason to talk a little to Mom...or would it only make things worse? . /At any rate, am wishin' U well and keep us posted,

I should have said, *Barbara* I'm sorry this has to be so much pressure.

Was intending to say at the end of paragraph, "(test)... to upen up."
