You're Right Bill - Female Ego's

[Guest guest]

Hi Bill,

I was actually talking with Vera regarding Al's and Fred's similarities in

personalities and guess that someone would mention about the " female ego's " too.

As an old hand caring for both aged male and females in their own homes I'm very

familiar with both sexes and their " ego's " . Still one has to have a giggle every

now and then - including the patients! Believe me I think I would make a far

worse patient than anyone has ever cared for as I know just about every trick in

the Book!!

For a number of years I have been working in the disability field caring for

young children/adults who have been born with a disability, or who have aquired

one, in Respite Care. For the past five years I have been working with young

people with disabilities who have just left school on a transition program at

our Centre. This program actually started here in South East Queensland five

years ago.

I thought I was fairly well prepared with my sort of background but then seeing

my husband being struck down with the viciouness of this disease has left even

me floundering as to how best I can help him. He was actually aware some ten

years ago that there was something dreadfully wrong with him but no doctor would

listen. That is until he physcially began to show signs of his disability - even

then he was wrongly diagnosed with PD. We are still hoping that something can be

done for him on Nov 6 as his legs are constantly in pain - " burning pain " as he

says, though they are cool to touch. To date I haven't seen anyone mention that

they have struck this on the group listing - so it is quite possible that Al

(Al-ger-non) could still have another problem on top of this one.

Read you E-mail on Aussie Ann #1 the Southport girl very interesting.

My hussband, Speedy , complained about burning legs for several years.

He always said that they did not hurt, but that they burned. This also was

going on some time prior to his diagnosis. We tried pain medication and

Neurotin. The only things that helped, put him to sleep for long periods of

time. He decided that most of the time, he would rather endure the burning

and be able to be awake.
