Now I don't have very close friends but at least a couple who would help me if I needed it. Unfortunately one lives some distance away and the other quite a few miles. My patience is limited I'm afraid.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-63614372699318675072015-04-21T12:42:10.115+02:002015-04-21T12:42:10.115+02:00Hi Ida - I'd fall into your category I think!!...Hi Ida - I'd fall into your category I think!! However .. I do believe that others should look at what we're dealing with and think of it from our side of the fence ... my uncle turned round to me some years after his wife had died, and I was round seeing him very often and generally in the end taking care of him too ... "I hadn't realised how difficult it was coping on one's own" - ie being unmarried as I was .. yet dealing with all things. <br /><br />You overseas with your husband in Denmark cannot have helped your cause and thank goodness for your friend ... I found a great friend up at the Nursing Centre ... as her father died up there .. and we've remained friends since and she supported me with my hip operation ... <br /><br />We learn though ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
