[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 347340, member: 1991"] Exactly. Good on you for making that point. I get so cranky with people who keep saying, "It's time to be easy on yourself," when they have no idea of the reality, and just how difficult it is, to pamper yourself when you have others depending on you. I'm glad they had the grace to look ashamed. I hope this now goads them into trying to put some practical help in place (including a viable Plan B). I wasn't having a go at you nagging - not at all. You're allowed to, because you and I have been in similar places. It's the well-meaning but totally unthinking ones who get on my nerves. A classic "Wizard of Id" cartoon comes to mind - the doctor is in the cells seeing to Spook. doctor comments that Spook is a bit run down, very depressed. "Try to get away for a while," the doctor advises Spook. I can really relate to that cartoon! Marg [/QUOTE]
