December 3rd will mark the 5th anniversary of “official” diagnosis. I have been searching for answers, when did all this begin?
The first time I knew “something” was wrong, December 2000! No clue what was happening.
We floundered around til 2003. Life was slowly disintegrating before my eyes and I insisted on testing. For what, I didn’t know, just knew something had to be done.
So if certain things manifested themselves at the end of 2000, when/how long had the storm been brewing?

I have been wrestling with his week of respite. Firmly believe it could “upset the apple cart” before Christmas.
As usual, worry that this could be our last Christmas at home so want to make it the best I am able to.
Talked to a medical person with 4 years on an AD unit. “Give me your honest opinion.”
She looked at me and said, “I’d wait til after Christmas”, then gave me some scenarios from her experience.
Thank you.
All the others have said it’s no problem, just do it. I, for once, am listening to my gut feelings. So often I don’t – - -
