She just posted yesterday on Cathy (mustangs) birthday thread. But I notice she hasn't posted on the current WFD.

Sending warm and strong thoughts, Sharon and Wolf.

I dropped her an email with a link to this thread.

Thanks so much Rob and Jessy for thinking of me!
Yes Wolf is bedridden at the moment and I'm caregiving until he gets better.
I have the help of a nurse for a while some days but I'm looking after him full time so it does make a big change in our lives.
I won't go into detail about his ailments here but I'm still hoping that he will be able to get up and walk around at some time in the future.

Dinners are still mostly homecooked but I'm serving his in bed in small portions and cut up, so they're not exactly photogenic LOL (glad I can still laugh.) :-)
I have joined him with dinner by sitting in a nearby chair and eating mine from a tray.
But I have also been having a quick bite at a restaurant or the sports club and bringing him home his favourite dishes.

I'm still checking out the forum on most days and haven't left, and will post a few photos of some dinners even if I didn't cook them. :-)
We had our friend from Germany over here for a few days staying at our house, so Wolf was able to talk with him and enjoy the company. I had already told our friend that he had to have his meals out or cook for himself as I had my hands full, and that worked out well as he didn't expect me to cater to him as well.

I have support from friends, our faithful cleaning girl, who offers her help outside of her cleaning days and (thank heavens for Skype) frequent rounds of family conversation with my daughters and brother in Canada, where we talk and laugh for hours. So I'm keeping my morale up and also thanks to twice weekly machine Pilates, staying physically strong too.
I won't let myself get depressed, but it is a new and worrying kind of life to be totally responsible for the well being of another person.

Life has many lessons to teach and I guess I'm back in class at this stage, going through a new experience.

I'm hanging in here, taking every day as it comes and glad that our life is still so much better than that of those poor people in other parts of the world devastated by floods, storms and earthquakes. Thanks for your kind thoughts. I'm still here.

Oh my heaven Sharon, how difficult this must all be for you and of course for poor Wolf. Thankfully, you are able to get some help and also get out a bit.

Take care of yourself, you're right, you have to stay strong.

My best thoughts for a positive outcome and steady recovery.

Sharon

I'm so sorry to read this Sharon, Wolf and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Chase is right, you do have to take care of yourself too. I'm glad you have support from family and friends and the extra help from the nurse and the girl who works for you.

Lee, joining Chase in thinking nothing but good thoughts for both of you.

Well phooey! I was so hoping it wasn't this. But we're here and (((you))) (the collective you) are on our minds. Godspeed in your recovery Wolf!!! You take care of him and get him strong enough to walk soon. I know your cooking can cheer him and feed him well enough for that; it certainly cheers me! Let me know if I can do anything. I miss you!

I'm sorry Sharon.....rough stuff.
Sending thoughts for healing for Wolfe and serenity for you.
Linda C

(((hugs))) Sharon

You know you have all of us here if you need help/support

Sharon, I'm so sorry to hear that Wolf is ill. Please pass on my wishes for his recovery, and do take care of yourself as well as him.

Karen

Oh dear, Sharon, I was afraid that I was going to see this when I opened the thread, I know you had mentioned that he took a fall and was injured.

I'm sending all the good thoughts and prayers I can muster up for your strenth and Wolf's complete recovery. I hope he's up and walking again very soon.

Annie

Sharon, I'm sending you and Wolf cyber hugs and positive thoughts.

Good luck to both of you in this rough time !.

Glad to hear from you Sharon. Sorry to hear that Wolf is having health problems. Sending more healing thoughts out to him and strength to you, my dear!

Linda

I am so sorry to hear of Wolf's poor health. I too was concerned as I remembered you mentioning he was not well. I have always enjoyed your posts, pics and adventures. I recently made your red braised cabbage, and was going to post it on the new recipes thread hoping you would see it, as we loved it.
Sending healing thoughts to your sweet husband.

Sharon, my dear friend although we have never met....I feel so close to you through your posts and pics etc. I was so touched by your heartfelt words regarding my losing my dog Duke and now I hear that you have a dear husband ailing. I am so sorry and know that the powers upstairs will take care of Wolf and give you strength to help with his recovery. You are such a special person....and I am giving you both all of my prayers and good thoughts to help in this time of difficulty. Bless you for all of your good thoughts and comments over the years and I hope everything turns out to the positive for you and yours.

Duane

Sharon, I'm sorry that Wolf is not well. With the special love and attention he is receiving I hope he will be up and around again soon.

I've missed your WFD pictures.

Ann

Shoot, I had hoped that Wolf's health--mobility was improving more rapidly. I'm happy to hear that you're carving out some personal time and trying to adjust. My thoughts are with both of you and I'm sending hugs!

Sharon, I'm sending cyber hugs and positive energy to both you and Wolf.
With your care I'm sure Wolf will improve and be back on his feet soon.

Nancy

Sharon, I am with your other forum friends sending you and Wolf good thoughts for healing and strength in this new challenge. I hope that soon we will be hearing that Wolf is back on his feet and mobile. We're all here to support you even if we can't be there in person.

Teresa

Sharon, my heart and prayers and healing thoughts go out to you and your dear hubby. You are always such an inspiration on this forum. I hope I can send even a fraction of the positive energy you exude back your way to help Wolf get better.

Sally

Sharon, I was hoping to see better news when I opened this thread. I agree, that with your loving support, Wolf will get better soon. Please keep us posted. Loving thoughts going out to you and Wolf.

I'm so sorry this has happened to your Wolf and for you too. What a bummer for both of you. I'm thinking of both of you and hope things start to improve rapidly.

Beverly

I'm so sorry to read about this and send my wishes for a complete recovery. This is a huge bummer. Stay well yourself!

Mary Roth

Sharon, my thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry that Wolf is having health challenges and I hope he bounces back very quickly.

I'm sorry that Wolf is having these issues. He couldn't have a better partner to help him through this. Sounds like your support system is kicking in too. Just being in paradise should contribute to a speedy recovery.

(((Cathy)))

Thank you all very much for your lovely kind thoughts and words. It is truly comforting.

I read this whole thread last night over a call to my younger daughter in Canada and it brought tears to her eyes and wonderment that there are so many great people here on the Cooking Forum. The moral support here is such a boost when one is feeling worried and a bit tired.

Thanks again to my (((CF friends.))) :-)

SharonCb

Sharon, I just now saw this.....I will add my best wishes for both of you. We never know what life brings and it is often difficult.

It sounds like you have a wonderful attitude and are taking care of yourself too. I hope this passes soon and life returns to normal.

Glenda

Sharon, how frustrating for you both. I'm glad you're getting out a bit and that was great how the friend took it in stride to take care of himself. Keep eating your lentil soup, that will help. Smiles. Thinking of you both.

Prayers coming from Lakeland that Wolf will recover soon!

Sharon, I was just checking in to see if Wolf had improved, I'm sending good thoughts and prayers nightly.

Annie

Sharon, you and Wolf are in my prayers!

Oh - I don't come to Conversations very often and am just now seeing this. Sending good thoughts your way, Sharon. Sounds like you have a bit of a support system, which is good, but I know you still have your hands very full. My best to you and Wolf -

Lori

Many thanks again to you all.
I'm trying to get him out of bed and walking again but he's still very weak.

However we are both in good spirits and working on getting him better so I can sign him up for the salsa dancing class. LOL.
