I'm so glad you figured out a compromise! From the sounds of things it will be a great ceremony and you will be able to participate yet protect yourself as much as possible. Renewing vows is such a wonderful event and I know from reading your posts how important it is to you. So go girl!!!!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being supportive, for caring about me, and for expressing your concern for both me and Bob. I realize that I have nearly monopolized the discussions over the past few months with my on-going saga and am appreciative that you have provided me with the safe-space in which to do so.
I know that I have been far too self-centered and far too serious for far too long. I recognize that I am no fun and that I add nothing to the overall humour, spontaneity, and even less to what should be the upbeat flavour, of this discussion forum. So, once again I thank you for indulging me.
My very best wishes to each and every one of you, Shug

Shug, nobody has the power to monopolize a public forum. Nobody expects anyone to be "upbeat", when they're not feeling well, or at all, if it's their nature to be serious. Everybody contributes, everybody should be allowed to contribute whatever they wish. It's all valuable.
People aren't "indulging" you, they care. That's why we're here. We're here for a little help from our friends.

You have NOT been self=indulgent!!
Look about us.. there is nothing but support forthcoming FROM you to US!!
Do not for one moment consider that you are not deserving of any and all attentions that come your way.
My friend.. You know how I feel.

Please don't thank me for caring or expressing concern - that's why I post and it's who I am. I don't need thanks but it's nice to hear.
Support should come naturally and no one on the forum is self-centered. we're in pain, dealing with a dreadful disease and incapable of doing things that we loved. That doesn't make us self-centered. It's hard to be witty and the life of the forum when you're attached to a whirring box. I don't think any of us expect you to be. We're the ones who should thank you for allowing us to share in your journey and for supporting each and everyone of us.
ENOUGH! So how you doing today? It's overcast here and looks like some more rain may fall. The fields are fallow and the trees are colorful. I personally can't wait for All Hallow's Eve and the trick or treaters. We're going to our friends house on trick/treat night and help them hand out treats. They live in a development where there will be plenty of kids. We're dressing as the Adams Family.
Hi Snow.

Hi Babs, you sneaked in when I wasn't looking. You've been missing in action about as much as I have been. How are you and what are you up to? How's your grandson? Ready for Halloween? Lindy

I agree with Sno & Babs. Please do not feel that way. Life is what it is- we laugh with some, we cry with others. There are lots of in betweens. At this time of your life you need support. Nothing wrong with that. I have also seen you continue to be supportive even as you go thru your own trials.

Hiya Lindy. We put our pumpkin lights out around the front porch, so trickertreaters won't topple off the steps. The Adams Family? I love it!  If I flip my long hair over my face and keep it in place with my glasses I can do a creditable "Cousin Itt". (The FreeDictionary definition of "creditable" is "deserving of limited praise.")
Shug, you really jump on a mini-trampoline? Do you ever wonder what someone peeking in through a window would think, seeing you do that? You might inspire them. Seeing me do it would just make them laugh. 
Edited to add, Babs, how're you these days, you've been pretty quiet too.
