You know the program and will find it easy to get back to.

Thanks, Paper. I had no way to release my stress while he was in the
hospital. I just had no time for myself at all. Now that he's home, I've
started my walks & this gives me some healing for my mind & body - as well as
earning some extra points ;-D

Good luck to you Elaine. I hope you're able to find another outlet for
your stress. I know how difficult it can be to not binge over stress.
I'm glad your husband is recovering well. That must be a huge relief
to both of you.

I'm sending lots of good karma your way.

Thanks, Laura. My hubby is doing OK now & hopefully will have his full speech
back in about 2 weeks. I just hope that I can handle the bit of stress thats
left & stay OP.

I'm sorry to hear about the news - I wish you and your husband all the best
for now and for the future. If you're keen to get back OP, then I'm sure
you will and good luck to you ;o)

Thanks, Nathalie. Hug caught ;-) Now that Bill's home, I can do my walks again
and that is so calming to my spirit. Thanks goodness that my hubby only had a
slight stroke but that was bad enough - only his speech & swallowing were
affected, but It was still a great worry to me as I wasn't sure at first whether
his speech would come back. Thank goodness it has & looks like he will make a
full recovery ;-D

Glad to hear that DH is getting better and you are back OP. My DH had an
angina attack last week and ended in the hospital for 2 days of tests so I
can understand the stress you went through. Hang in there.

I know the feeling. As he gets better you will feel the stress go away.
Having someone in your family ill does create stress. I've dealt with it
with both my husband and my daughter. It was their illnesses that put on
quite a bit of my weight over a period of 5 years. Things have settled down
some so I can concentrate on losing weight.
