Rizen, do you have any relatives that can help? Or a Social Worker? Sometimes it helps to start planning what will happen in advance. That way you will feel a little less stress when the time comes. I had a similar issue when my mom passed leaving me responsible for her estate and my sister’s care in my hands. I had no idea what would happen, so I started making plans in advance. Gentle hugs Rizen during this challenging time.

Muji, it would be weird walking in your old neighborhood, but your almost finished here in the US.

I have been walking some, but caring for my husband and trying to stay on top of my PTSD has been challenging.

Yeah, Rizen, are there any ways to prepare like Secouya suggests, ways you won't have to go it all alone when the time comes?

Secouya, hope your husband improves, for his sake and for yours both.

Me, I'm hoping to walk in the cool of the evening today.

I did! It's still weird to be back walking in the States f0r me after a month in Mexico walking. There lots of people walk, I'm not the only one. Here I usually am the only walker I see for 30 minutes around my neighborhood. That's what has become weird to me now. Next week I'll be back in Mexico among lots of other walkers again.

No walk for me yet today, but I'm waiting for the cool of the evening for one. Secouya, how's your husband? How's your knee?

I walked about 2 kms this morning tho not sure exactly. I must measure it with the car one day. Uphill all the way home so a good workout.
Unlike where you are muji it was quite a sharp cold this morning here but at least it wasn’t raining.

Thanks for the support. I have my aunt and her two sons living here.

I went to Wyoming to help my mom visit her friend. It wasn't my ideal vacation but I did do some sightseeing.
I walked 2.1 miles today and 2 days ago.

Glad your mom was able to visit her friend with your help, Rizen. It's good to know you have an aunt and cousins around. I got a walk in today, too, after waiting out the heat of the day so I could walk in the cool of the evening.

Rizen, , I am sure your mom appreciates what you have done for her so much. I took my mom to visit relatives during her last years and the memories from those trips I hold close.

Muji, my husband seems to have permanent brain damage which is hard for both of us. Still waiting on a final diagnosis, but doctors think it’s an inflammatory disease like MS or dementia. They are leaning towards MS because of some of his symptoms.. I ‘m scared and feel alone, but I’m trying to be strong for him. My knee is doing really good. I am happy that you made retirement and can start your new life. Keep up the walking. I am trying to walk more.

Sending strength to you Secouya and Rize, you both have a bit to deal with.
I walked a long way up hill and down dale at a safari/conservation park today. It was wonderful but exhausting. Was worried about being mugged by two 6 ft tall kangaroos guarding the trail but they left me unmolested lol. They are wild animals, not exhibits. There is some great work being done there breeding endangered animals in natural surroundings. The largest park outside Africa.
You’ll be home soon muji and walking in your favourite surroundings too.

Oh, Secouya, so sorry to hear about your husband's condition. My next door neighbor had an aneurism, and then a hole drilled in her skull to repair it. It left her with brain damage so I've done my best to be a good neighbor with skills I learned as a chaplain on a brain surgery unit.

Her condition is what I call "mechanical" in the sense that it's about plumbing breaking in the brain and being repaired there. MS is a different condition entirely, much more mysterious in its comings and goings. I understand why you'd be scared about it in its unpredictability. Kind of like PTSD itself is unpredictable, you know?

I haven't been on a walk yet today because it got up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit here, so I'm letting it cool off until 9pm or so before walking. Yeah, Loo, I'm looking forward to getting back to Mexico and walks there come Wednesday. I like my walks with lots of other people around sharing the sidewalk with me there rather than these solo walks here in the USA where everybody drives cars rather than walk.

I'm really sorry to hear about your husband Secouya.

I walked 2 miles today.

Good for you for getting 2 miles in yesterday, Rizen. I got my walk in at about 9pm like I said, when it was cooler. Hope to do it again tonight, too.

I walked about 2 miles today.

I've been walking 2 miles the last few days.

Nice consistency, RIzen. I'm back in Mexico in better walking settings now, so I had a good long walk with lots of interesting people around yesterday. So much better than my lonely walks in my neighborhood in the US.
