Update On Di:
She is actually doing a little better. New eyes and ears attending to her have made a small amount of progress. We'll take any tiny bit we can get. Taking her off of one med, changing the dosage on two of them, and changing the timeline in which she receives her meds seems to be helping. She is more alert, and she is thinking more clearly. Her internal medicine specialist says if she continues to improve over the next month, they might be able to elevate her treatment status to palliative care - the step before actual hospice. She is responding well to the treatment she is receiving.
We are very thankful for that improvement.
Again, thanks to all you for your kind words & support.

om Ditto! I have a friend who has been in palliative care for almost 2 years now. Yes med can mess you up. I'm glad she is doing better.

Hi Again, Folks,
Well, I've been absent for almost a month - not so much because of Di's health recently - my computer was hacked and I lost almost everything - logins, passwords I hadn't written down, etc. Fortunately, I had almost all my songs saved on an external hard drive. I'm slowly getting things in order again.
Di is holding steady. Anytime there's no regression for a couple of months, we are very happy. Her memory is slowly fading, but her physical status is stable. She clearly remembers people for the most part and things that happened at least a couple of years back. But her short-term memory is basically gone. In more general terms, she doesn't know what day, month or year it is. Similarly, she's unaware of who the president is, etc.
We deal with it. She's very much aware that her memory is flawed, so that's actually a good thing.
Anyway, I thought I'd bring everyone up to date on her status and to thank all of you, again, for the very kind words of support. We truly appreciate them.
Wishing everyone well - and keep making music.
Alan & Di

Hi Dan, Your kindness is appreciated. And I'm very sorry to hear of your wife's medical journey. Will put her in our prayers. Your song was beautifully written and deleivered. There's a lot of truth in the lyric. Thank you very much for sharing that with us. Many years ago, I wrote a song about my former mother-in-law, who had advanced dementia. It was called "A Thousand Miles Away". The signature line is "Though you're just across the room, you're a thousand miles away. Once I've finished getting all my computer hacked issues resolved, I've find some BIAB tracks and put it together and then post it. Buit your song is very emotional and touched us both. Wishing you & Carol all good things that are possible at this time. Prayers and blessings, Alan & Di

Just a quick update: Di is holding steady for the most part. But she is now on oxygen most of the time and her pain level is increasing.
As always, we appreciate the kind words from everyone who has commented.

Alan, my heart goes out to you guys and am still praying.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Thanks very much. She's having a rough go at the moment, but we remain optimistic for improvement.
Hope to be back posting and listening within a day or two.

You are in my thoughts, Alan. You've always been incredibly kind to me and to everyone on this forum, so I do hope there is such a thing as karma, so that you get rewarded for every single kindness you've shown me and others. Praying for your wife, praying for you. As many have already said, I hope you remember to take care of yourself, too, so you can care for your wife. Anything I can do, just ask. God bless you both.
