	Fellow Rogues: The purpose of this thread is to offer a place for us to bring our cares, concerns, and needs for healing of us and our loved ones. This would include any concern on your mind that you don't want to share in casual passing in the coffee shop. This thread will facilitate those Rogues with faith backgrounds and/or just great compassion, to go directly to this thread in order to support teammates on or off the forum. In the spirit of the Jedi Order and our love of Star Wars, combined with the common medical/rescue theme of all known civilizations (from real world organizations like the Red Cross and the U.S. Coast Gaurd), AND topped-off with the open definition of faith in the Star Wars universe: our doors remain open to all in need. Many of you know I identify as a Quaker Christian, but SVRF enables me to further lover others regardless of their position on religious matters. To this end, please feel free to join together in carrying each others burdens- from losing loved ones to struggling with upcomming challenges like final exams, and everything in between. -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing.

	... and with that introduction, I'm leaving early to go home and take care of my 83 year old dad. Pops is suffering from pneumonia (getting better) and newly diagnosed diabetes. OUCH. That last one is gonna be the hard one to wrestle with. I'm gonna have to get him nursed back to health, and then move him closer to our family in Elk Grove. I'm not letting him drive anymore, and I gotta sell his mobile home after we move him closer. ACK! This is overwhelming. Thanks Rogue 26 for PM cheer-up. -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing. Good against a living; that's something else" We don't "beat-people-up", padawan.

	May the Force be with you Ekim. I understand exactly where you are at. Along with other medical problems my mother has diabetes. The two years working narcotics paid off when it came to loading up her syringe and giving her her injections. Her numbers were really out of whack before I started caring for her. Now, her hypertension and diabetes are under control. We just have lots of other problems at the moment to overcome. But, my mom is worth it. Her and my grandmother were my parents when I was growing up. So, if there is anything you need, all you have to do is ask my friend and I will make it happen. -----signature----- Thank God I'm an Athiest! Rogue Force Productions http://rfproduction.com

To this end, please feel free to join together in carrying each others burdens- from losing loved ones to struggling with upcomming challenges like final exams, and everything in between. Very well put, Ekim. Once again, your presence in the group brings great things to the rest of us. I too, felt that a place was needed as it is hard to offer sympathy and support between jokes and banter. It is easy to misconstrue meanings and intentions. I hope all rogues make a point of checking in here to see what rogues are in need and then doing what we can to lighten or share the burden of our friends. The diabetes is the most important to get under control. All other health concerns always seem to be driven by the diabetes. The more under control, the more overall healthy patient. Don't let dad get caught in the "I'm old and frail now" feelings. I have really had to work on my dad when he had a surgery this past year and also the rest of the relatives. Just because he needed some tender loving care for a bit, they wanted to fix and take care of everything forever. He pretty much quit doing anything as it was all done for him. The lack of exercise, the depression, and the feelings of worthlessness and not being needed were harder on him then the recovery was. I push for him to do everything he can posssibly do, and then I pick up the slack. It is so hard to do but he has come back with better health, more mentally alert, and is more involved in his life then he has been in years. Its kind of like raising our kids again or in your case, at the same time. A good rule of thumb for an invalid parent is the same as you would have with an invalid child. Would you let them get away with it. If not, then the parent should be behaving, participating with their health care, and taking care of as many of their needs as they can. I know it sounds tough and harsh but it is better for them. I think some of our older people fall into this pattern and then fall into the "I'm just waiting to die" mode. I will pull together what apartment information I have. You might start with the Eskaton facilities. They have some real nice facilities with different levels of care and services. It will give you something to do...as if you don't have enough. As we have talked in our conversations, I am what is basically a baby christian with no wish for organized religion ties. We have seemed to have rubbed along together pretty well. I appreciate your openness to discussions and your not shying away from expressing your beliefs while not infringing on others rights. Have you and dad in my prayers. Keep me posted on how it goes and just vent if needed. and believe me you will be needing.....:) You think kids can be frustrating. Wait till dad doesn't do what you want him to do. Once again, Thanks for starting this thread. Hey LDV, can we make this thread one of the permanent ones that stays at the top of the screen with the MIA, meeting minutes, etc. Just might be nice as hopefully, we will have periods with no crisis or need. We wouldn't want to lose it or have to go looking for it in a time of need. -----signature----- Rogue Leader - 26 SVRF Supreme Chancellor "C3PO's for Everyone"

	WOW. That helps. Thanks guys. Very encouraging, and will help me keep on top of my dad. Of course, today I realized one of the saddest moments of recent memory: I just finished mowing the lawn. Not significant, except that I haven't had to do that for the last 7 years, since my dad wouldn't let me my own lawn. Change is hard for him and me, since it means facing a new level of instability, etc. I will heed your words-thank you for sharing, because it really helps. -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing.

	I try to leave my personal feelings and opinions off the boards as much as I can, especially when it comes to religion. I do hope for the best to both of you and to Val. I as always offer my ear and shoulder to any all of my family in the SVRF. -----signature----- Rogue 33 Vice-Chancellor Scoundrel, Imperial, I get the job done.

	I copy Marric- consider this one more difference/option that sets us apart from the general SW fan crowd. Also, you know I love to include and focus on the spiritual elements of George's work, partly cause those are some of the greatest elements of this sci-fi genre that grab me. I totally understand your opinion though, based upon on our road talks, your posts, etc. This thread just allows us to set apart specific needs from general conversation (and you know I love general conversation . I just have to deal with censorship at work so much (the uniformity, conformity, etc.), that it feels great to be able to express freely in this venue. Of course, I am always open to correction, because I definitely 'aint perfect ... and following that thought, I will be unable to attend the Roohoo film day event. I gotta meet home health care worker at dad's to start the diabetes training with him . I wanna go and be in the mother of all fan films, but duty calls. Perhaps another time... -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing. Good against a living; that's something else" We don't "beat-people-up", padawan.

	Thanks Susan and Dev: your words of encouragement and wisdom help a lot. Home health care nurse got him going on fingerstick for blood sugar tests. I'm feeding him everyday, and getting him out for fresh air. His spirits are improving slowly, as is his health. Thanks guys. -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing.

	Ekim, I think this new thread really rocks! I think it's a great place to share any problems or concerns that we might have that would be harder for us to share else where on the boards. My family just recently went through kind of a tragedy ourselves. One of my dad's brothers had died from health problems a couple of weeks ago. I say this was "kind of" a tragedy in that although my uncle was a good person, I never really grew up with that side of the family (partly since most of them lived in the Los Angeles area and so was due to long distance). But we didn't expect him to die at such an early age (I think he was in his 50s). But I believe he is in a better place now. Once again, I pray that you're dad will get better yet; from what you say, it sounds like he has been improving well. May the Force be with you. --Jedi Dark Night

	Thanks Rogue 21. Sorry about the sudden loss of your uncle. My pops is improving slowly, though yesterday I ended up taking entire day off to take him to doctors appointments, get prescriptions, etc.. We made progress in the relocation arena though: There is an affordable senior apartment complex less than 3 miles from my house. This newly discovered apartment is on my way to and from work, which is a huge blessing. It is also cute, quaint, has a pool, is grandkid friendly, and the seniors we saw seemed happy. We put his name in the hat for a GROUND FLOOR one bedroom apartment(!), that should be ready October 1st!!! Whew. Better than all original plans. I just gotta hang in there for the immediate until he gets stable from diabetes. I slept 12 hours last night. Yesterday was actually harder than taking care of my six year old. Whew. -----signature----- Rogue 9 "Good against remotes is one thing. Good against a living; that's something else" We don't "beat-people-up", padawan.
