    Slipdigit:- Thanks for asking that means a lot.

    In a word "No"!!! to answer your question.

    I consider my problems minor and as we said in my Unit
    during WW II "I'll walk thorugh the pain(s) in quiet".

    Biggest/worst item is that my wife has Lou Gehrigs disease (there
    is NO CURE) and the average life span after diagnosis is 4 years. She is almost
    there so I have the unenviable job of checking each and every morning to see
    if she is still breathing. Enough said.

    We were in an Assisted Living Facility but there was only one PC and
    a long line waiting to use it. When the dire prediction was made I was
    told to return home and let my wife lie out her final days here.

    Have to have help 24/7/365 and a lot of alterations had to be made
    to the house to accommodate my wife. Everything was done gladly as,
    if the tables were reversed, she sure as H**l would be doing it for me.

    My best wishes go out to you and your wife, SgtLeo.

    Though, sadly, Nature decrees that we all must grow old and die one day. I am seeing it in my parents, and I have grey hairs of my own.

    You have lived an honourable life, and I believe that you will earn a reward for that. Nothing is really lost, it just seems that way to we poor limited mortals.
